halloween costume

so another project that i had been working on was my halloween costume. this year i think i will wear it friday night, saturday night and sunday! haha in years past i usually only wear it once or twice. i havent put everything on altogether yet but here the idea:

and kody will be my piggy sunday for the doggy party

i have a plain black corset i will wear. and i got a red skirt from forever21 for $6! i shortened it a bit because there was black tulle underneathe that now peeks out. i made a crown, sceptre, heart "clips" for my shoes, some heart jewelry, a cape, and a tulle overlay skirt. i sewed hearts all over the tulle. ill take a pic and post it next weekend!

quilting in progress

i actually got all the materials i need to make the quilt. now i am just putting it together. i learned that quilting is a very precise art. my first one is not very precise so the grid isnt perfect. o well. this is just the front.

i got a lot of batting. 50% off coupon from joanns! sitting on top is all the quilt squares that i cut. i bought a rotary blade but its already very dull and doesnt cut at all! my squares are only 10 by 10 which is on the small side. making for smaller quilts. i also dont have any sashing/borders around the tshirts.

turtles

we collected some bits here and there in kona to make these. i actually saw them in the store but thought i would just make my own. just a bit of hot glue required.

keep on felting


i keep on collecting rocks and felting. still not sure what to do with them. that is the main question i get. what am i going to do with them
