Softies!


Tail-less-Monkey above (Spo thinks it looks like Hannibal Lector, maybe not a good friend for a child.)

First attempts at making softies from socks. the elephant is ugly.  the monkey has no tail.  Softies might not be my big talent.

After:

After only 100 bucks on fabric, we turned an ugly "western" couch into a crazy cool couch. oh yeah...

Owl practice


I have been experimenting with softies.  I think this will eventually become three dimensional.  For now it just hangs on our cloth board.

Patchwork Curtains


These curtains started as a blanket I was making for my sister's wedding.  Three years later, the blanket morphed into kitchen curtains.  I was originally working off a pattern, so half is borrowed, half is original.  They make much better curtains than blanket.  I ended up giving my sister I huge pan.
