Little Yellow Bag

This bag is about the size of a comestic bag. It was lots of fun to make with the fabric Barbara sent from Montana.

This was fun because the tutorial was precise and there was room for creativity!

Thanks to Crafty Ladies for the tutorial!

Two new ladies.

The Sassy lady with the tangerine hair is for fun.

The Polka lady with the yellow hair was commissioned - just hope it is what she had in mind!

Next up - lady motorcyclist!

A little of this...

and a little of that! Life isn't boring! Larry's has been cutting and chipping branches around the yard. His arms looks like he's been chewed on!

Today we had AWESOME Thai food at the Kour Thai in Lucerne, CA....hope this lady stays in business a long time.

I have made more ladies and some bags!

While Larry is busy doing taxes at the senior center and walking dogs at the animal care and control department I'm trying to keep myself busy without getting bored doing one thing.
My latest projects are tote bags - found an awesome instructions to make a one-yard of fabric into a tote bag. I decided to see what would happen if I used 1/2-yard of fabric. A little small, but do-able.

I have 5 sitting ladies ready to begin the pretty process. I'll work on those between yard work projects!

By request and then some!

The weather has turned into spring...hope it lasts. We've been getting some yard work done, as well as getting or things organized.

We had joined a woodworking class but that turned out to be a major joke - so we chalked up the $30 as a donation! Apparently the only reason people take the course is to use the tools, not to actually learn to use the tools and build something.

At the request of a friend I made the two garden ladies. I made the "freedom" lady as a raffle prize.

Today I made the tote bag for my niece out of a single yard of material. She is turning 7 so I hope it doesn't swamp her!

Wednesday's "Job"

Yesterday I hit some thrift stores and found 2 wool sweaters to make into boiled wool "cloth".

After boiling or felting the wool I made a beret from a Martha Stewart pattern....I need to try this again, looks more like a beanie!

Last, but not least, my latest pieced apron. This one I let the fabric "talk" to me. I began the apron by using a purchased applique rose (from the dollar store) to a piece of fabric and went from there. Probably a little bazaar, but I think it is marketable!

Red Hat Lady

This little lady was a request from a friend - and I got to have free license on just how I accomplished the task.

These are so much fun to make! Her "boobies" are little fuzzy pom-poms.
