Yup, I’m still at it…bidding on vintage fabric on Ebay. I won this lot even though I mostly just wanted the pretty pink and brown fabric (there are 4 yards of it!).
The voting began on the Softie Awards so please go and vote! There are 12 categories and lots of great softies. Here’s my sewing machine cover that made it into the Cozy Finalists. The front is meant to look like a modern house and the windows and door are actually pockets for sewing accessories so it’s multifunctional!
I’m wearing sneakers today! It seems that my feet have been stuck in boots for the longest time. I love sneakers because they’re soooo comfortable but they do put a limit on what you can wear above them. I’d like to be dressier sometimes but I can’t find any comfortable dressy shoes that I can wear all day long without getting blisters. Anyway, I’m starting to look at Crocs but there are so many colors that I can’t decide which one(s) to get. Any Crocs wearers out there with any suggestions?
My dog Molly walked into my picture this morning and I had to take the picture quick before she walked away. She has the daintiest little feet! This picture reminds me of the one from yesterday’s 3191 post. Little happy feet everywhere (including the metal tipped ones from my footrest)!
No work in progress today…just some happy daffodils in a pickled vegetable jar.
On another happy note, my Modern House Sewing Machine Cozy got chosen as one of the finalists for the Softie Awards under the cozy category! This is so exciting! Voting starts later this week.
I was going through some of my craft supplies and came upon a ziploc bag full of fabric button kits I got from an estate sale a year ago. I made a few buttons with my vintage floral and Superbuzzy fabrics. Since these are small, they really make you notice the details of the prints. Can you see the 2 butterflies on the little brown button in the middle? Any ideas what I can do with these buttons?
I went to the opening reception of our class exhibition, A Class Act: Collaborating in Clay at the Fuller Craft Museum on Sunday. It was really nice seeing all of my classmates’ pieces on display. Here’s a picture of my final piece taken at the studio before it was packed up. My piece was sitting in a locked glass case at the Museum and all I could think of was god, I need to fix the arrangement! Some of the pieces moved a little during transport and need to be straightened out.
The museum itself is quite spectacular. There are several courtyards in the museum with partially snow-covered sculptures (beautiful!). I love interior courtyards and I was kicking myself because I forgot to bring my camera. There’s also a beautiful lake right behind the museum with ducks and swans. Anyway, we’ll be on exhibit until June 17 so do stop by if you’re in the area!
