Finished

I know that I said I had finished the Tree quilt a while ago and I did, I just didn't bind it. It has been left folded over my chair since and was getting a crease in it. So I thought that I would stop procrastinating and do it today. So here it is all finished.

I am nearly finished on the rusted vine quilt/drawing thing and next time I take a photo of it I am going to take it outside to get better light to get a better picture.

Something Else

This is with my pencils, it is SOOOO much fun to colour in and shade.  It will be eventually vines with thorns, leaves and flowers all over it.

It never looks the same when I take a photo of them :) Not enough light probably. Anyway, just something little.

More

I have done Sam's flower, I am going to mount it on a canvas board and hope it looks like Art :)

And I have done some more on the painting, don't have a name for it.

That's it. Haven't found anything exciting to do yet... anyone with idea's?

I'm Blessed

Well another thing that I bought at the craft fair was some more dye and some dye thickener, sodium alginate it's called  and basically you put it in water and it goes to glug and makes every thicker :)

Looks like glug doesn't it :)

It can store in the fridge for months, and that's where it is, so here's hoping no one wants brown milk in the back of the fridge :).

So then I added dye powder and it gives the most vibrant and awesome colours. Here's what I did today....

Not finished of course, will finish off tomorrow and I have plans for another one with dark green vines and thorns and leaves..... so I will make some awesome other colours tomorrow.

Another thing I am working on is this flower that Sam painted ages ago and I said I would free motion it and make it sing.

So that's what I am doing tonight. I am using blue and purple threads together for the flower, it gives a really cool effect. So I think I am blessed because I can have these 'toys' and stay home during the day and play. I am very blessed. Now all I need is some talent :)

Two Things

Well, I just finished the tree quilt!! My back hurts from hunching over the sewing machine but I am so happy it is done. I still have to bind it but that can wait :) I am real happy with this one. I have taken more care and it is flat and even and dare I say it..... symmetrical!. One can only hope :)

Detail, I machine quilted feathers going up the quilt and when they touched the tree I drew it like they were being blown around in the wind. Or that is what they are supposed to look like :)

The other is silly but worth mentioning. Hubby bought himself a bigger fan for his computer, and I mean bigger.....

First I will give you a pic of his old one, see how you can see the brown around it? That is the motherboard, also note how low it is..

Now see the new fan...... it reaches to the top of the case! the side casing barely fitted back on and you can barely see the motherboard!! I think we could use this fan to keep us cool during summer :)

Well enough inane chatter, I am off to read the new Lee Child book and have another disturbing dream of men chasing and beating each other up. (This is due to the book, read a Lee Child there great:)
One day I will have to do something exciting just so I can write it here...

Something different

This is something I bought when I was at the craft fair. They are ink pencils. You put fabric medium on, well fabric hehe and then you use the pencils and they turn into ink. It is very cool but alot harder than I thought. So this is my first piece and I loved doing it. I felt very creative.


Pencils...

Design...

I am hoping to get better and bigger. I will quilt over it too, and make it stand out some more.
