My Material

I love, love, love shopping for material.  I love thinking of all the things that I could make with it.  I love picking out different materials to go together.  I love mixing up patterns and textures.  I love finding deals in the remnants that are an extra 50% off!  I just love it!  Which is why I have so much of it. 

I keep telling myself that I can't buy any more until I use up what I have.  Okay, maybe not all of what I have, maybe half of what I have.  But what if I need to get a specific type of material, or a different color or design from what I have.  What if I am in the store for something else, like a new pair of scissors, since the ones I have are junk, and there are some really good sales?  Then I need to buy more material, I NEED to! :)

Take a look.  If you like material as much as I do, then you understand.

Here are my flannel sets:
Top: Funky girly prints in brown and subdued color tones, pinks, purples, greens, etc.
Bottom: Blue, brown, tan polkadot, stripes, puppy dogs

 Top: Brown and pale turquoise, vines, dots, animal print, African animals
Bottom: multicolor robots, multicolor circles on turquoise background, blue mini plaid

Top: salamanders and sunburst circles, multicolor cirles, navy starburst on lime green background
Bottom: mixed print purples

Top: Turquoise and brown floral prints
Bottom: Rainbow colors with purple and turquoise


Top: yellow and green with jungle monkeys
Bottom: you can't see it, but it is a really cool multicolor elephant print and brown with blue vines


 Top left: Mushrooms, butterflies and pink diagonal plaid
All the rest is various material that I don't have blankets planned for

Here is my fleece:

 I have blankets planned for these, but you can't see the different prints, and they are not organized like the flannel is.

Sweater Mittens- Finished!

I LOVE how these mittens turned out.  If you like them too, sorry, unless you are Janelle V. cause they are going to her!  What a lucky woman!!!   I made these mittens out of two different sweaters, I think it looks best to have the contrast of different weaves and different colors. I also added an orange button on the cuff.

Fronts
Palms
Wearing them, very soft and warm!

Some hand stitching that adds a little interest and holds the two layers securely together.

Latest Work

 I made a new pacifier holder for Aurelia, this is similar to those that I will make to sell.  It is super cute, and Aurelia loves the buttons!





This was my first attempt at sweater mittens, not felted wool ones, but they still turn out really cute with regular sweaters!

Owls

I have started making owls, they are turning out really cute!

The one on the right is the first one I made, I added wings to the next ones.
