Princess Bubbles Creates

Here is my attempt at the Turkman stitch from the directions of Sharon B at http://pintangle.com/ My first try doesn't look great but I still like the stitch.  It will show up again in my crazy quilting.

Here is a simple paper cutting I did this morning.  I was listening to a good interview on line and needed to keep my hands busy.  I had seen an absolutely marvelous example of paper cutting here http://www.oh-i-see.com/blog/2013/10/14/artistic-expression-thats-a-cut-above/ and I was inspired.  Mine is no where near what this woman has done.  That is okay she has way more years of practice at it and art is not a competitve sport.  In my head I keep thinking there has to be a way of combining my love of paper and fabric.  I know there are others doing that but I need to find my own way.

This is my October crazy quilt block.  Even though I haven't posted about it this month I have been working on it.  I still have more flowers to add to it. I am linking with http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.be/ and http://pintangle.com/

It has been a while since I have participated in Take a stitch Tuesday at  http://pintangle.com/ I was thinking I would really like this stitch as it is so dimensional.  I am not too sure if I do like it though. Maybe with practice I could do better.  Well, of course, with practice I would improve.  Practicing isn't my favorite thing to do.  I want to do it well right off the bat, not terribly realistic of me though.

I have been getting to do a lot of shopping lately.  Fun!  I do like a good shopping trip.  I found these gorgeous, metallic fabric spray paints this past weekend.  So yummy!  I can't wait to use them.  I am not quite sure when that will be as I have a busy week ahead of me.

I get so excited when I find vintage lace at the thrift.  Check the beauties that I found last month.  So gorgeous.  Now they just need to find a home in a project or two  or ten!

I am very pleased with the progress I have made on my art bra.  It is really coming along.  This is a really special project for me.  My mother is a breast cancer suvivor.  Yay Mom!  I am having so much fun with this creation.  Possibly I can get two made for the auction next year!
