Recently I came across a lovely site called Mommy’s Apron
Strings.
<div class="MsoNormal">
After admiring the beautiful outfits and patterns I became a
follower.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Lisa generously shares some of her patterns and one of the
free patterns is a lovely little Sunsuit, as soon as I saw it I wanted to make
one.</div>

These two matching little dresses I made for my grand daughter Quinn and
her cousin Ashlyn who lives in Canada.</div>

My daughter in-law Sandra and grand daughter flew to Canada last
week for a 10 weeks holiday to visit family. This is the second set of matching dresses I have made for both little ones, small size is for 9 month old (for my g'daughter ) larger size is 3-4 year old. Sandra thought it would be cute to see cousins wearing matching dresses for family outing and photos.<br />
I'm looking forward to seeing a photo of girls in their dresses.</div>

me in a new direction and sewing for my Granddaughter has become a consuming
passion.</div>

At one time my studio had little garments hanging on every

matching tops, an adorable vintage sun suit with frills, 3 sleep sacks and a
variety of tops to go over leggings.</div>

While I was dusting off the shelves in my studio this morning I had to move a few of the elves I made ages ago, this is one of those little Elves. For his body and hat I used a lovely old piece of green velvet I had been saving for that special project. The pattern was designed by an Aussie designer around 13 years ago, her name has escaped me at the moment but I will look it up and give her credit. I have used this pattern many times over the years. I thoroughly enjoyed making and embellishing them. <br />
<br />
Each Christmas a family of little Elves decorate my house.<br />
I had forgotten about a little gold silk Elf that is waiting to have his legs sewn on and be adorned with embellishments so he can join the other elves. <br />
<br />
I have made a new To Do list and embroidery and beading is on my list and today I added the gold elf to. <br />

When I was looking for more lace in my cupboard I came across these two silk French Knot hearts I was working on about four years ago (I'd forgotten about them)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A you can see one heart needs a few more thousands of knots made to finish it.</div>

My studio floor still has little nests of lace over it, my work table and my ironing board are also piled high with trinkets and bead containers and I couldn't bring myself to put all this lovely lace away just yet. When I'm in this little creative block I sewed lots of bitty lace pieces together thus making a large crazy patch of fabric while waiting for some inspiration. .<br />
To the rescue came my muse *Miss Augathella-Musella* Go make a little scrappy note book and give it away . She tells me I should have a Blog giveaway... never one to ignore my muse in case she disappears, I set to work. The photo is of a few of the pages I have completed so far. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hardest part will be working out how to do a Blog give away! </div>

Will work on this part later... smile)</div>

For a long time I've wanted to make a Shabby white wall hanging.<br />
I fall in love time and time again when I see beautiful lace books, tags and wall hangings on my visits to my favourite blogs.<br />

Last year Viola over at <a href="http://shabbychicinspired.blogspot.com/">Shabby Chic Inspired</a> shared this digital collage created with images from <a href="http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/">The Graphics Fairy</a>, I saved and printed a copy ready for use, thanks Viola hope you like my little creation.
<br />
<br />
When I create I'm very - very messy, think this is because I never have a plan and go wherever my muse takes me.<br />
Wasn't long before my table and floor was strewn with lace, Jewelery containers and many other bits and bobs, things everywhere, what fun to play amongst vintage laces and trinkets.<br />
<br />
It took me nearly as long to take photos as it did working on the hanging. No matter how or where I snapped my photos are still a bit dark. I need to take a class in photography and learn more about my camera.<br />

When sorting out my wardrobe last week I came across a pair of 3/4 jeans that I hardly worn, decided to cut them off into knee length shorts.<br />
<br />
Made this little bag from left over legs last night, this morning I trimmed both sides with scraps of fabrics, ribbons, beads, a small velvet flower and metal butterfly. I think this little bag needs some treasures to go inside, hmmm.. mind is racing with ideas... guess what I will be doing this afternoon...smile)Noelenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10625121458336935599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940152291709588132.post-104411747358997422013-01-14T12:12:00.001+11:002013-01-29T12:45:57.407+11:00A New Year begins...

This year my plan is to change my studio to look like the vision I have in my head (well hopefully like that vision) and spend more time creating.<br />
<br />
A few months back I found an old blackboard easel, today I painted it white, added a new large memory board, my Mr. T added 2 clips to keep board
from falling off the easel.<br />
Now instead of having papers and notes all over my work tables and computer desk I have a place to pin them.<br />

My Christmas decorations are all up, our living room is decked out in white, silver and green this year.<br />
I inherited this little tree about 8 years ago from my youngest son and his then girlfriend (now wife) when they went to Canada to live for a while. The tree has a slight lean in this photo Cody was checking it out... maybe hoping there was a treat on it some where...smile)<br />

This morning I have been inspired by visiting lovely blogs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I so enjoy it when people share the changing seasons decor of their homes, also what they have been recycling, or painting, findings at garage sales or simply changing the look of a treasured piece.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
With all this inspiration flowing I just had to add a few small changes to my place.<br />
I started by printed a new cover for an old book, added a bow and vintage Broach for a bit of glam, found a pair of old gloves amongst my stash, and my pearls, A new center piece for one of my glass tables.</div>

This Lace pouch and little hearts was made from mixture of vintage and newer laces and Doileys. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think you cannot have lace without adding a few pearls. I also a decided it needed a little flap to close.</div>

Had fun with leftover brown paper and fabrics scrap on my work table this morning, backing is 3layeres of torn brown paper with inked edges to give it an aged look. Stitched other bits and pieces and this what evolved.<br />
As I cannot resist making books this no doubt will end up being on a cover.

These little boots are 1 1/2 high by 1 1/2 inches long with a leather sole and are made with red felt. To add a bit of Bling I painted red felt with glue and rolled them in red glitter, took a few goes to get glitter to stick to felt.<br />
Made Santa's little hat in crushed red velvet.<br />
<br />
I think I was having a little shoe fetish because I also made a pair of tiny Fairy shoes and small court shoe. Very happy with how they all turned out.<br />

They were in desperate need of a good dust and a bit of TLC, I added a few more roses and sheer wire ribbon bows to brighten them up a bit. <br />
