Sewing Adventure #2

hello all!
Today I am going to share my second sewing project with you. Please keep in mind that I am an infant. Therefore harsh criticisms aren't fair  ;)
We have a fairly large dining room table, and I lOvE dressing it up with interesting place mats and table runners (the World Market appreciates this obsession very much!); so I've decided to make place mats! This first attempt turned out to be completely useless, but I am madly in love with it nevertheless!
Second cautionary note: The stitching is a crude mess of thread so just try to be patient with my newborn attempts to survive in sewing land!

 That's it my friends!

Little Paintings...

Well, I don't have to say that I am having a little affair with fabric lately right? 

It just so happens that I am working on a series of children's paintings for a new bundle of joy who is to arrive later this year- my first COMMISSIONED set of paintings, if I may say so humbly!

But before I painted the series, I've decided to get some practice with actually painting on a canvas again. The combination of needing to paint for practice and not being able to let go of my new found love of fabric gave birth to these little OwLs...

I like them. not sure yet about the metallic blue background, but who can resist a request from a angel faced 7 year old?



NoT Me :)
