pretty little things

bull dozer

this sleepy eyed bull would rather doze peacefully 

in the sweet smelling flowers...than enter the ring to fight.

 

carefully constructed from black corduroy and wool felt 

with appliqued and hand embroidered details...including tiny eyelashes 

and a long stemmed flower clutched in his curled up mouth.

now in my shop :)

behind closed doors

i still have a few more things to add to the shop 

and a couple more plush toys to sew, 

but i also really need to sort through the heap of clothes 

growing in my closet and make it pretty like this.

(i am sorry i don't have a source for this image)

i have seen in floating around in a couple different places online

...although none are the original source...

anyways, i love how it is all regular storage stuff, nothing fancy.

and it still looks amazing....it has inspired me to make sense and order 

of the monster mess i have to tackle.

blustery

we're waiting for a wicked rainstorm to blast through.

the winds have already started to pick up and the trees are really blowin.

SO...i thought my Windy Day Tote would be a fun bag to post this morning.

 

the stripes are inspired by hot air balloons 

tangled with tiny flowers on streamers of colorful lace.

now in my shop :)

happy friday!

blossoming

so it won't be til later in the day 

and will continue through the weekend

hooked

i really am!

here is just part of what i've stitched since saturday.

i think i have a dozen flowers so far.

i'm still building up speed, but i'm having so much fun.

it's been awhile since i've taught myself a new craft.

it opens up a whole bunch of new opportunities for design.

my mind is spinning with ideas:)
