The best sewing kit I've seen so far



fits like a business card.
So I found a pattern on Etsy and made my first sewn purse... which is huge because I normally makeup as I go along and make up my own rules...is the reason why some stuff that I do sew looks pretty bad.

Making more watercolor "Thank you" notes for Kenny's


Teachers. Actually his two teachers and two extended care teachers.
this fits about a 4x5 inch with pocket in the back for a gift card, front folds this flap to close.
I'm actually "happy" how this came out.

Cut out and transform your ugle t into something...useful?


old t shirt.
I can't wear colours like this...
so turn it inside out and I went for it.
Cotton is still pretty good, and good to recycle right? Anyways, started on this project..with what's been swimming in my head, now I just have to finish it.
More pic. later with the results.
OH yeah, forgot to mention that I bought this magazine called "stuffed" very cool things in there. Apparently there's been this trend on "softies" or soft sculpture, basically anything that you can stuff whether it's an amigurumi or nuigurumi (http://www.squidoo.com/nuigurumi)
I've noticed that there's starting to be tons of resources and reference to this.
You'll start finding Japanese craft books, translated to English so we can get our hands on some really cute projects.

I'm trying out my hand at the lunch bag art




much credit and inspirations goes to:
the lunch bag artist, please check him out at:
http://lunchbagart.tumblr.com/
he does awesome illustrations.

I'm not nearly as good as him...but it is fun.
Sally from the Spongbob squarepants gang is done in oil pastels...
Patrick and the bear is done in acrylic paint.
My mistake, I keep drawing on the seam of the bag and apparently I have no sense of layout...
