Cloudy Day

This cloud fabric was purchased about twenty years ago, intended for curtains in my daughter's bedroom.  That never came to be....but somewhere I saw clouds with cute little kawaii faces, and was inspired to dig the fabric out of the stash and do this!  I used some lovely dmc variegated floss to outline each cloud, and give it a bit of personality.  Now I just need to finish the edges and cover the back. 

Miss Mossy


A friend gave me a bag of random novelty yarn, and told me to "Make a monster or something".  So I did.  Isn't she cute?  I think she needs a companion, possibly a snail.  One of these days I'll get around to it.

Fusible Bead Madness

Fusible beads in the Third Dimension:

Numbers 1, 2, & 3 are a GENIUS idea from Lighter Cases on Etsy.
           I’m not even gonna try to figure out how this was done.

           I’m just going to give them my money :)
