Horray! Paintings up (and available for purchase!!!!!). Since most of my recent paintings are custom portraits, I wasn’t able to have any of those awesome ones, but these are some others. Check them out at Perrier Wines & Liquors on Grand Avenue in Saint Paul, MN (by Ace Hardware)…and buy some booze while you’re at it.
Every year I make my co-workers gifts for all or part of their presents for the holidays. Last year I did the coasters (see posting from last year of cat/dog silhouette coasters). This year…. FLEECE BLANKETS.
Basic materials: fleece blankets (purchased at a brick and mortar store), embroidery thread, and felt! Basically every time we were sitting on the couches watching TV, I’d work on them.
I wish I had pictures of all of them (I think it was eighteen total), but of course I didn’t remember until I gave them to everyone!
I’ve been remiss on posting for awhile (slacker). I should have actually posted this project in the spring…
For FIRST BIRTHDAY presents I made some alphabet letters. Two of my friends were having first birthdays for their daughters, I had lots of extra fabric, and voila. Fantastic gift. Soft enough to put in their mouths without breaking, they can throw them around, and easy to put away, and as they continue to grow, they can start to spell words out on the floor as they learn:
I was ambitious enough to do UPPER and LOWER case as well.
