New items for Etsy

I have been sewing skirts this week for my Etsy site and hope to post them today. It is fun to make skirts for the girls! Angelina and Cailey got one of the skirts and I asked Hope to take pictures so I can post them. My 6 mo. size skirt is modeled by a bear my mother inlaw made for me some time ago. Isn't it cute? Sadly all my girls are to big to model these smaller skirts.

Back to it after a week off

Did some sewing and painting today. Altered a dress I made for my grandaughter and made a gathered skirt for etsy. I also worked on a new medium that is painted and layered paper fabric. I don't know that I like the result I came up with on my first piece. I am going to make a purse or small bag of it though. I think it might be cool made into something. I will post pics as soon as I have them. Hope every one has a good week!

Help...I'm stuck!

Fun Week

I have been playing all week! Monday had all 3 of my girls and the rest of the week my oldest grandaughter has been staying with us. I taught her how to use the sewing machine and she made a pillow, then I made her sleep capris to match. We have been swimming every day, she would live at the pool if I would stay. It has been fun and good for me since I have gotten some much needed excerise. Next week my husband is on vacation and hope to do a day trip or two. The Des Moines Art Fair was great. Lots of talent and found some inspriation. We decided we would like to do it some day. Have a good week every one. Turning out to be a busy summer!

Art Tote

I finished this Art Tote yesterday and posted it on Etsy today.
Pretty happy with how it turned out, purchased a new book this weekend on creating paper fabric. I believe that will be my next project.
My mother inlaw brought me a bag of interesting fabrics from her Route 66 travels. So I am sure it will be showing up soon in my projects!
going to the Des Moines Art Fair this weekend to look for inspiration.
