Princess Bubbles Creates

So many stitches to learn.  I am always glad to learn new things.  It is good for the brain.  For me this stitch was easy to learn as it is combining two stitches I already know.  Of course, my stitching is not as nice and neat as Sharon's at  http://pintangle.com/ .  Nevertheless I am happy with it.  It is quite likely I will use this stitch again.

Here is my coffee filter kirigami shape stitched to some fabric.  I used numerous metallic threads and some multi colored beads.  The piece is about 12 x 12 inches.  I am really liking it.  I am debating on whether or not to add some more stitching to it.

It has been a while since I have posted some of my thrifty finds.  These vintage linens make my heart sing.  They are so gorgeous!  I am actually considering dyeing some of them.  As much as I love whites, creams and beige I don't generally work with those colors.  I usually go for something more vibrant.  I am linking with From My Front Porch To Yours at   http://www.frommyfrontporchtoyours.com/    There are so many inspiring things to look at there!

I made some progress on this block in the past week.  It is a good thing to have these work in progress Wednesdays.  It really helps to keep me focused and moving forward.  I am not totally happy with this block so far.  Hopefully I will figure out what it needs in the next week so that I can get it finished.  I am linking with http://pintangle.com/ and http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/

Thanks to Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/  for the instructions for this stitch. I have done this stitch once before this.  It is a good one and I am glad to try it again on this crazy quilt block.  I will definitely try to use it again in other blocks.  I used a ribbon floss for the filling part of the stitch. I think that a funky yarn might look really cool too.  I must give that a try.

I ever so patiently waited for my coffee filter to dry.  Today I cut out this gorgeous kirigami shape also known as a snowflake.  I love the way it looks!  My next step will be to adhere it to some fabric and add some stitching and beads.  I am excited to get started on it.

I could absolutely not resist a new box on 100 Crayola markers.  All those glorious colors!  All that juicy ink!  I also couldn't resist that old stand by of laying down some color onto a coffee filter and then spraying it with water.  The results are yummy.  Coffee filters are such sturdy paper and I am anxious to stitch into it.  I just have to wait for it to dry.
