wet diaper bag

Here is my latest creation: a wet diaper bag!

Sorry about the blurry photos, but I photographed in really low light. The inside is a waterproof vinyl lining and the material was purchased at Wal-Mart. Here is the website for the instructions: oh-nuh-uh.com

Here is my handmade Easter garland! I made it out of an upcycled book of poetry, scrap lace and scrap ribbons! I'm ready for Easter!

working on a few customized orders

This mini project has kept me busy lately. My full time retail job is keeping me super busy and tired! Monday is my day off, and I plan to start a new crafting project to make me smile :) Maybe I'll make some Christmas garland....

Asian Ox experiment

new Asian Ox photos: Experimenting with different color and stitching technique. Beverly's ran out of the color I wanted, so I used this "cashmere tan" felt.

aproximately 6 inches in length

regular stitching: horn revision:

I'll switch to a thinner thread for the mouth. It looks too bulky for me!

I just hot glued some ivory petals and pinned this flower temporarily:

Asian Felt Ox

Here is a really cool and large project! Felt Asian ox!

Usually I make little felt critters no larger than 2 x 3 inches in size, but this turned out to be a nice challenge for me. The first one is complete, and I have 19 more to go. I'm ready for assembly line production!
