Altered Domino...

I bought some dominos at a yard sale and thought that I would try my hand at altering some. This is the result.

I had a lot of fun doing it - and can't wait to try more. Now, to decide exactly how to USE these little bits of art!

Oh - b/c I'm addicted to UTEE currently, that is how I finished it off. See my prior blog entry to see how I use the UTEE - I used it in the same manner here!

Another Freezer Paper Stenciled Item

This one is for a baby gift... just thought that I'd share! This stencil was much harder (for me) to cut out, as my craft knife is getting dull - but, I still think that it turned out cute. I used clipart from PCCrafter to create this stencil.

I have started making my 'bucket' from the previous blog - but, I'm not yet finished - I hope to have it done and share it here before the weekend is over!

I so want to make one (or more) of these.....

I found these cute little buckets in the blog, Ric-Rac online! And, now I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY (get the point) want to make some of these! I'm not exactly sure what I'll do with them - but, I think that I'd like to make some!

It's early yet, so I don't have anything creative to show you of my own yet - though, I hope to show something by this evening. But, before I lost site of this blog and project - I wanted to put it on here!

Sarah tried her hand at Freezer Paper Stencils

So - Sarah loved the Skull bag so much that she wanted to try her hand. But, she couldn't just put her stencil on a ready made bag - so, she wanted to cut the leg of a pair of old jeans, make a bag - THEN do her stencil! So, that is what we did! She sewed it together, herself, attached the strap and I did the snap. Other than that - it was all her!!

She likes the Clemson Tigers, so her stencil was a tiger paw. I think that it turned out cute as a button! Here is the picture.

I also made her a skull t-shirt that she is sad that she won't be wearing to school tomorrow. Tomorrow is a 'game' day for her and she has to wear her cheerleading uniform - I didn't think that she'd ever want to wear anything but her uniform - so I was surprised that she was bummed about not wearing the shirt.

I have finally tried my hand at freezer paper stencils...

and, I am in LOVE with the process. It is possible that I might stencil everything in site, given the chance! It was super easy and goes SOOO fast. I'm sure that it depends very much on the particular design that you use. This skull was super easy and, oh so cute! My girls now are having a love affair with skulls and cross bones - I think that it is because they are in love with Pirates Of The Carribean (can't blame them there - I love those movies too!).

This one is for etsy, but Sarah has already requested one with a pink skull - so, I have to go get some more fabric paint and resist the urge to stencil everything in sight! Here is a picture showing the detail, though unfortunately - not the true color of the fabric paint - which is a gorgeous metallic aqua.

I can't wait to try my next project! What should it be..... stay tuned!

Quilted Purse to share

Well - I've finally made a new purse! I think that I'm going to list this one on Etsy - but, I wanted to share it here too!

It is black and white on the outside and a fantastic lime green for the lining! Additionally, I made a (removable) lime green and button 'flower' for embellishment on the outside. The purse is quilted with a varigated green thread that I just adore!! I also added a magnetic snap closure. I think that it turned out cute and I almost hate to part with it - but, I rarely carry a normal sized purse - I'm more the 'large bag - fit the kitchen sink in it purse - kind of gal.' So, I hope that this purse will go to a woman who will enjoy it!!

I, now, want to go make a new bag for me - in my style! :-)
