I have been busy whipping up Christmas ornaments and stuffed mascots for a Christmas craft show at 1305 Gallery on Main Street. Of course, now I am behind on items for my Etsy store but I am also running low on inspiration.
My skirt for the end of term was a huge hit. I had to turn it in for the final inspection so I have no photos of it yet, but I will post some as soon as I get it back.

http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.photo.gifMy friend Susan brought some Japanese craft books with her on her last visit home. I devoured the colorful pictures and intricate patterns and set to work to make some mascots for my shop. I have made a few and love the hand sewn quality and texture to the stuffies. I need to make the designs my own by finding my own style with them, I want to use less felt and more fabrics like the ones I used to create this Fawn. I'll keep you posted on my progress!

September's F.F.W. was this felted chain scarf I made for my husband. It took forever to knit all of these little rings of wool and then I almost ruined it by trying to felt it in the washing machine. It would have been fine had I put it in a pillowcase first. Lesson learned. With a little extra attention, it looks fine and he loves it. Of course watching how hard I worked on it, I think he's afraid to use it!

I finally posted a few items in my shop. If all goes well there will be many more in the coming days. I have had one sale already to my sweet little sister who purchased these cake buttons. Are you starting your Christmas shopping early Kasey?

Not in time for the Tie One On August deadline, but done none the less.

My sister was visiting from Pittsburgh when I started making my pinafore and she was so excited about the apron idea that I told her to pick out some fabric for her own version. We spent the evening talking and sewing and the finished apron looked so cute on her that she wore it home and probably still has it on.

I have had this piece of pink linen for years but have never been able to settle on what to make with it. I'm using a piece of vintagy floral trim from Reprodepot.com (a few seasons ago) for the straps which will button at the shoulder. I can't wait to try it out.</div> </content> <draft xmlns="http://purl.org/atom-blog/ns#">false</draft> </entry> <entry xmlns="http://purl.org/atom/ns#"> <link href="https://www.blogger.com/atom/32972092/115602128730078371" rel="service.edit" title="Getting started is the hardest part." type="application/atom+xml"/> <author> <name>j sult</name> </author> <issued>2006-08-19T13:40:00-07:00</issued> <modified>2006-08-19T21:01:27Z</modified> <created>2006-08-19T21:01:27Z</created> <link href="http://jsult.com/blog/2006/08/getting-started-is-hardest-part.html" rel="alternate" title="Getting started is the hardest part." type="text/html"/> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972092.post-115602128730078371</id> <title mode="escaped" type="text/html">Getting started is the hardest part.
I am starting this blog to share my crafting experiences. I have really been inspired by the amazing talent and creativity that I have seen on other blogs and am excited to join the community of crafty bloggers. I think I will start out by trying the August Tie One On apron challenge. I will post my progress soon.
