My Creative Space--I Got Fleeced!



Cold winds. Grey days. Rain. And a 50% off sale at the fabric store. It all adds up to a bundle of new fleece which is being transformed into softies.

Sorry the photo quality isn't great. My camera is being wonky; I'm not best pleased. Find other awesome creativity here.

Gone Batty



Flaps Battingwood has taken up residence at our house. He is of the Battingwood Pest Control family, of course. The Battingwoods are graduates of the University of Kansas. Therefore, when they find pests: ants, beetles, spiders, etc. they relocate them to K-State.

Flaps is my design made from fleece and felt--so quickly stitched that I think I'll need to make more of the Battingwood clan.

Encircled


I got yet another project finished. Wahoo! I am on a roll which is sort of "pun"ny considering my latest finished work is a wreath.

I wrapped a metal wreath with fabric strips which I had sewn end to end. Then, I whip stitched my jumbo yo-yos together and tacked them to the wreath. Lastly, I created my Wreath Wren and added it to the centre. Easy peasy.

So welcome Fall. You're coming here anyway so we might as well be cheery about it.

One Done




I finished one of my projects! Here is my latest softie, a cat named Autumn Night. It's made from fleece and felt. My design. I think I'm going to tweak the face size for the next one.

Onward and upward!
