So sorry it's been so long. I was going to do a post about a pie I made last week, but it didn't inspire me. I thought, if it doesn't inspire me, I doubt it will inspire my readers. So, I went into making mode. I have been doing some fabric painting, some sewing and some woodworking. Here are a few of my projects:
Martha Stewart fabric paints are wonderful! I started with these six colors and then went out and bough 10 more! I did my own version of silk painting minus, well, everything but paint and fabric. I used a silk-like fabric for the first two and a cotton blend for the last. I really love that there is kind of a water color effect happening...as it turns out, that's what happens when you thin out your paint with water. ;)
I didn't stop there. I decided to try my hand at making a zippered pouch. I watched this video on craftsy.com...an incredible resource for us crafties and then did my own version. Considering it's my first one, I think I did pretty well. Up next...a pillow and maybe a tote.
Woodworking class has been a process. I decided to start small and get to know the machines. Below are my first two cutting boards. I am pretty happy about them. I haven't decided what my next project will be. What do you suggest?
So much fun! I have missed your posts! Love the fabric/silk-screening. Juicy indeed! xoxo
