I've been taking a brief respite from Seedling pursuits to focus on some home and family projects - - trying to tackle a few of the items on my never-ending projects-I'd-like-to-do list.....First up, pillow friends. I first saw this project in Amy Karol's "Bend the Rules With Sewing" -- so simple, so cute! I used up some fabric scraps, some leftover textile paints, and voila: new friends (and yes, the car is pink -- no gender stereotypes here!)
Next, the creation of some fine art. Our walls have been sadly bare for some time now -- we didn't move here with much, and I have a difficult time choosing and buying artworks worthy of display. A few years ago, I found a pile of canvasses for a dollar each at a yard sale. Seeing great potential, but without a vision, they've remained in storage for nearly three years. I pulled them out recently to give them an undercoat of white.....
Then S worked his magic....
The end result -- artwork we are proud to display and love to look at....
Next up, I'm getting ready to tackle that pile of merino. It's so gorgeous that I think I'm hesitating, waiting until my sewing skills vastly improve. But, eh, that may be awhile -- and it's getting chilly! So, simple merino projects to come....
