I missed Tea Tuesday yesterday…
I was busy getting a root canal. Oh, Joy.
So the cups remained in the cupboard…they looked pretty while waiting though.
I’ve also spent an enormous amount of time in waiting rooms lately so I’ve brought stuff with to keep me busy and make the time pass more quickly.
My friend Patty let me know she got my package so, as promised, here is the full view of the fabric collage I created a while back.
I’ve been so inspired by others fabric collages in blogland but hadn’t ever attempted or even felt the inclination to attempt one until now.
I just kept layering pieces until I felt happy with it. The tree book page and the rust colored fabric were my starting point. I knew I wanted something dimensional so I searched through my jewelry stash and found this berry piece. I think it may have been a clip to dress-up a shoe in its former life.
I even got to use some of my CitroSolv background paper.
I’m definitely going to do some more work combining fabric and papers in the future.
At the sewing machine again….
These are addictive….
Found this great looking book at the thrift store and knew it would make a fantastic book purse.
I reclaimed the handles off a super ugly purse from the same thrift store and dug through my fabric stash for the lining.
I went ahead and listed it in my Etsy store a little earlier today.
I cleaned up my art zone a little bit yesterday…enough to do a quick page in an altered book.
I used some of the scrap laying around the workspace for this page. I still need to get to work on some similar themed swap pages.
I also started work on yet another attempt at a braided rug. Things are going much better this time around… *quickly knocking on wood*
The morning sky was pretty so I thought I’d share it with you. The photo was taken through the glass of the patio door. Way to chilly to stand outside for a lousy photo op for me.
We got hammered by a winter storm here… We got 15.5 inches at our house…but since the wind was blowing so hard we have drifts that are 4-5ft high in places while some spots are bare ground.
Here’s a photo out our back patio door. See the cool swirl pattern in the snow! Up to the left between our house and the neighbors there was a 5ft drift.
So in between shoveling and attempting to use the snowblower. I’ve been working on some crafty stuff.
I cleaned my sewing machine..changed thread on both the bobbin and spool…and it seems to be working a bit better.
I made a couple more journal covers..
We also put together our Gingerbread house kit from Trader Joe’s. I think it turned out pretty cute. Maybe next year I’ll do the really deal and not buy the kit. I know my girl and I will be making one at her Holiday party at school as well…except with graham crackers. Like these ones.
And in case you hadn’t heard what a crazy storm we had here yet…here’s a YouTube video of the Metrodome…now known as Mall of America Field..collapsing.
