Scribble Stencil Action

I've been holding off posting about this Scribble Stencil stuff because I saw it in the background of some photo somewhere and I was hoping I would remember, but I don't.  I like to acknowledge where I see inspiration.

Anyway, I am so into this technique!  It's really rewarding and fun to do.  I've been using my super-fancy Sakura Pens (gloss & souffle) and plain ol' ballpoint pens to make handmade cards.  Check it out:



Sorry for the poor quality photos.  I'm still trying to figure out how to take really nice pictures.



Coolest Quilt Ever

So I actually got my graph paper out for this one!  I saw this picture by Laura Taylor (who by the way is brilliant, heard about on Creature Comforts):

I love the old-fashioned calico prints on the big block background.  The white squares and blasts of bright colored squares are perfection!  I even like the worn out rips.  I'm mooning over this one.  Oh yeah and it's all on point, so it has that great diamond effect.  sigh.

Moccasin Love

How hard could it be to make moccasins??  I was checking out a blog a like to read on occasion, For Me, For You and saw these:

From Manimal.  If I was made of money, I would just buy them.

So now I'm seriously thinking about trying to figure this whole moccasin thing out!

Pillowcases: finally finished!

So I put the trim on the pillowcases and so now they are officially done!!  YAY!!

SUMMER CAMP - Round the Moon from Paddy Power on Vimeo.


I find this video even cooler than the other Summer Camp video I posted a while back.  Mesmorizing.  I literally just tried to do her dance moves from the club scene.  yep.

More on Corn Husk Dolls

Okay, this will probably be the last post on corn husk dolls.  I just have to get it out of my system! 

I went nuts and bought a bunch on ebay.  You have to see some of these amazing dolls.  They make my doll look like a pumpkin head.

And this is where is gets really ridiculous!  Corn husk mice!

That's when I turned my computer off, no more ordering corn husk things on ebay!  ha!
