I had so much fun with the last Corgi spindle, I made a couple more!

Cardigans herding sheep. I just adore this one, and the simple, country feel.

Here is 2 bottles slumped and etched...


It was my hubby's idea to etch a toast on a bottle, which is why this one says "to love."

I made a bunch of shit. It is here:

( 1. I'm part of another forum online and someone posted an address to send cards to recovering soldiers, so I busted out some old magazines and started ripping out pictures. I tore out images of things like beer, candy, delicious looking food, hot chicks, and tylenol. )

( 2. For Christmas, I made my brother a nesting doll. Of himself. I failed to get any good photos of it before he took it home, but these are the photos I have. There were four layers, with a different picture of him decoupaged onto each layer. :) )

( 3. My brother's wife's birthday is January 11th, so I made her a card. There is a running tradition with any holiday for me. I always write a  )

( 4. Valentine's day cards! )

( 5. I got bored at work, so I made a little box out of the Korean newspaper I had. )

Hello all!

I got a sewing machine for christmas.I made my first project with it. without a pattern or anything. ha, thats probably why it's not perfect! But it's alright :D

I made my gal pal a large tote bag for her books. She's a music teacher in Charleston SC. She has to go to several different schools to teach her students, so she needs a big bag. next time I'm going to make more durable straps, reinforce them with nylon or something. She picked the fabric. and I lined it with music notes! how cute and appropriate right!? :D


let me know what you think!

Can anyone recommend good(easy to follow) books/websites that explain and have patterns on how to make neat projects- like bags, pillow....etc.?

gum wrapper mirror

[meeshkaa.livejournal.com]

first post :)

i had 3 black-framed mirrors hanging up in my room and wanted to do something to make them a bit more interesting. i was looking around the house trying to find something to add on and came across a bag of gum wrapper chains that my mom had given to me years ago. when my mom was younger, she'd spent her free time folding chains. they've been sitting in a ziplock bag for the past 35+ years. i decided to use them to make my mirror more interesting. collaborative art, haha.
