some stuff I made...

Ok, so so much for posting everyday.  Maybe I'll start with just being happy if I keep posting now and then.  I'll work up from there. 

Today I wanted to share some pictures of things I've made.  I haven't managed to take any pictures of the many skirts I have made, and somehow I only have one picture of a bag, even though these are the two things that I make the most of.  But I'm going to post some pictures of journals and things that I've made:

 These are some small journals that I covered and decorated with some appliques.  This green one was my favorite.  The green fabric is a Japanese import, and the flowers are outlined in metallic gold.  It's strikingly beautiful in person.

 Another journal.  I wish I could find this fabric with the kitties in kimonos again -- I love it so much!!

 This is the first three pocket wallet I made.  I have made a lot more since, and tend to decorate the flap with buttons now.  They are so cute!  I gave several as Christmas gifts.  I hope the recipients loved them as much as I do.

 I call this my portable pocket.  It's really a phone cozy with a long strap so I can wear it across my shoulder -- so that I do not misplace my phone when I do not have pockets.

 more journals

 Another journal -- covered in one of my ALL TIME favorite fabrics.

 The only quilt I've made so far that wasn't just squares.  The colors came out a little more Easter-egg like than I wanted, but I'm still pretty proud of it :). 

 This is an Amy Butler Swing Bag -- I make and sell a LOT of these.  This one is for a very sweet person that I like very much! :)  And it took me MONTHS to make it, so I hope she forgives my tardiness.  I love the bold graphic flowers.

 This was my first cosmetic bag.  I've made a couple more since.  I really like it and I LOVE the fabric...

A recipe box that I covered and decorated with appliques.  It now belongs to my sister :). 

So, I hope you enjoyed a little tour of a few things that I have made.  I really need to take pictures of my skirts, and of the full sized quilt I made -- my first project!  And still my favorite.  I use it as the bed spread in my guest room, but when I need a mood lift, I use it myself :).  It always makes me happy.

Next I think I shall post some examples of my photography that I am proud of.  I love taking pictures!

Signing off for now
