Cherries

These are some cherries I picked off my cherry tree in my back yard. It is the first year that my little cherry tree produced lots of cherries. This is the third bowl of cherries I picked and it still has lots more to pick! :) They aren't very big, but they sure do taste good :) I love their red coloring!

Dotee Doll 2

Another Dotee Doll I made.

Fabric Post Card-CAT

Another fabric post card (4"x6") using the cat theme :) I really had fun making this one, because I went for it...I wasn't concerned about making the stitching so neat and straight. The stitching added more interest to the piece, I think anyway :)

Fabric ATCs

These are a couple of fabric ATCs I made. I didn't sew them on a machine, but added embroidery to them.

The one on the left is for a one on one trade to a lady in the Netherlands.

The one on the right is for a swap in the Stitched By Hand ATC group on flickr. The theme is fairy tales. I chose to do The Princess and the Pea. I collaged pieces of fabric and then added some embroidery stitches to them. I drew her face using micron pens, even then it wasn't easy to do.

I still need to add the backs to them, so they aren't totally complete.

My First Hand Stitched ATC

This is an embroidered ATC I did for a swap on Stitched By Hand Flickr group. The ATC had to be sewn all by hand. The design is one of my own drawings. It was really fun to do. I used to embroider a lot when my children were younger, but haven't done so in quite a few years. This is the first time in a long time that I was able to work on an embroidery project. I have always enjoyed embroidering, hope to do more of it! :)

My first Dotee Doll

This is my first Dotee Doll. I made it for my friend :)

Another Whimsy character

This is my 2nd whimsy character I have made. I did make number three for my friend, but forgot to take a picture of it. These are really fun to make. I do enjoy needle felting. Wish I had more time to do more of it.

I took the picture before I had time to clean up my work table :)

Recent Artist Trading Cards

These are some recent ATCs I have painted.

Altered Box

This is an altered box I made for my friend. It was my first altered box. It use to contain note cards and envelopes.

I have to say that it was a little bit of a chellenge since I had to figure out how I wanted it to close. It took me two attempts to do the outside of the box. First I had painted it and distressed it, but wasn't very happy with it. So I altered that :) and did the outside finish that it has now.

I was happy with how the inside turned out, and didn't make any real changes to it when I finished it.
