I am in love!

I was over at How About Orange blog this morning and clicked on one of the sponsor ads. It's called Fabric Worm, have you ever been? OMG! I clicked on the Japanese Imports to check out the fabrics there, and I fell in love. How cute are these?? I want every last one of them. Sadly, most, if not all of them are out of stock (and sadly out of my budget as well). So I will just drool over the thumbnail pics for now :). Here are some of my favs, in no particular order:

Thanks for stopping by :)

And she came out of my own brain! :)

This doll did, I thought her up while doodling last night. I created her today while my kidlets were at school. Isn't she adobo (adorable in Dan language lol, Dan being my hubba, hubba hubby). I created a tube from fabric, gathered the ends with a running stitch, covered some chipboard circles in fabric and/or yarn, and then tied off her head and made her a dress and some braided yarn arms. I am not one to embroider, it turns out horrifying so I doodled her face on with a Sharpie :) I used my chalks to give her some blush. That's about all there is to her. I luff her to pieces. She keeps me company in my scrap closet while I am creating. See, now I am NOT talking to myself lol.

Thanks for looking :)

I did indeed make a purse!!

I made the purse I was referring to in my last post!! It even turned out pretty good. Better than I anticipated. I only had to use the seam ripper once!! WOOHOO!! That is considered progress in my mind. I think the coolest thing about this purse is that the pattern pieces can all be cut from one fat quarter of fabric!! Granted the lining is from a different fabric, but still that's pretty cool. Oh and here is a blurry pic of the inside of the purse, complete with pocket :) I used orange thread on the whole thing because I thought it was a nice constrast. That and I didn't have any lime green thread O.O how did that happen? It's one of my favorite colors.

Thanks for looking and have a great day :D
