A few projects

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?
