Whoops.. forgot to get dressed today!
pretty much vegged out in my craft room (in between playing with my little baby cake!) didnt do a stitch of housework, never cooked, ordered out... havent even really talked to my husband! sometimes I just need to ignore the world and play by myself !! How about you?
I was torn between an elephant and a bird.. its funny, I never really know where I'm going when im making something... until its finished. I really had visions of a large bird holding the clock in its beak. but the elephant kept thumping around in my head... and before I knew it, I had a pattern made, and a piece of gray upolstery fabric that was exactly the right size! once the elephant was made, I made the tiny bird. The bird is about 1 and a half inchs square and the elephant is 5 inches tall with out her hat or base. such fun!
well, I just wanted to show you my little new years friends. I wish you could see them in person!
Back to work tomorrow! (blaaahhhhhh!!!) I already cant wait for the weekend ! lol! I have valentine charms to make for a swap Im in. Now that I got this out of my head Im ready to think about making them. And I have several ideas I want to play with!
I suppose I should get off the computer for the night and I should go put the pizza away from dinner.. I havent been out there in hours.
dont forget to sign up for the valentine hearts swap! there are 14 of us so far!
should be fun!
later girls!

Are you kidding me. You made the animals from scratch. You are talented beyond my wildest dreams Viv!!! I thought the way you put all the pieces together was amazing I had no idea you could just come up with patterns in your head and create them too. And so quick. I'm blown away and L.O.V.E. this piece.
OOXX's...Tracy @ Cotton Pickin Cute
ADORABLE! I'm so glad you had a day to just play. You've earned it. We're all back to our respective world of "school" tomorrow. Chris at his elementary schools and me at my University. The alarm clocks have been set and the girls lunch boxes are packed. I can't wait to see what you have in store for Valentines. Sleep well!

Your elephant is friggen amazing! Do you work with a pattern? I spent all day yesterday in mu studio too and we ordered pizza last night. TTYS Sand
That is so cute! I can't believe how talented you are. I can never work on a sewing project without a pattern. Have a fast week, and then you can create some more!
Viv...he is stunning. I can't believe you made him in a day. For heaven's sake don't come out of that room ever! Well okay just to hold the babies and eat but then run back in there and get to crafting. These are gorgeous. Smiles..>Renee
