Hand Stitching Frenzy...Curtains, Duvet and Pillow Shams

I created this poster specifically for this next post...and YES, that is the

cartoon version of me.

Ha ha ha!!!!

Many of you have been wondering why I haven't posted anything lately...this is why!

I have been sewing my little fingers to the bone.

I do have a sewing machine, but it needs to be serviced...but I didn't let that stop me!

Rustic French Shutters

I was looking through kijiji ads a few months ago, and came across this window.  

I know, you're probably thinking "Gee, you should have left it there!"

Oh yeah...
did I forget to mention

There were four smaller windows & two of the larger ones like above...

Toothy Lucy Wins The "TOOTHY AWARD"...

Toothy Lucy

I created Toothy Lucy here to commemorate my "seven" dental visits in the past month...Yes, you read right...SEVEN!!!  

That's what happens when you don't go to a dentist for fifteen years.

Toothy Lucy goes to the dentist regularly and has even won the "TOOTHY AWARD" T-shirt to prove it!

Alas, I am not Toothy Lucy or a cartoon character for that matter...my dental care required a bit more than a pencil and an eraser to repair.

Obviously, the first thing my husband Trevor and I had to do was find a dentist.

We searched our local area and came up with a few different practices, but we decided to go with 

Park West Dental Office

The "TWISTED NETHER" Fantasy Keyboard

This is the TWISTED NETHER, a fantasy keyboard I designed for my husband Trevor.

You guessed it, another school project!

I finished this a few months ago, but I'm just getting around to posting it now.

The project was to create something unique and high tech...

I will take you through the process I used to achieve the finished look.

Flip-Book Cover

A few months ago, my husband Trevor had to create a project for school on knot tying.

He created a survey, which some of you partook in...and then decided to create a cool flip-book to show how a double sheet bend knot (the knot he chose) is actually tied.

I felt honored when he asked me to design the cover for it.
