Princess Bubbles Creates

I really enjoy playing with the Kaleidoscope Kreator program.  Making snowflakes with it is so much.  The possibilities are limitless.  I need ink in my printer before I can print this one out.  Once I do I will embellish it with beads and stitching.  Yummy!

This is my crazy quilt block for December.  There is still a lot to do.  I hope I can find the time.  December is so busy.  Granted it is busy with fun things which is good.  Stitching quietly is good for my soul and a most welcome break from the holiday busyness.

Here is my attempt at the Plaited Feather Stitch.  I rather like it.  I think using contrasting threads works really well for this stitch.  It works so well for a crazy quilt seam treatment.  I definitely use it again. Thanks to Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/  for her wonderful instructions.

I started this landscape quilt quite a while ago.  It is painted, needle felted and stitched.  It is nearly finished.  I am not really happy with the tree on the right.  Actually, the tree is okay, I think it is the yellow in the background that I am not happy with.  The background near the top needs more needle felting and then I think it will be done.

Thanks to Sharon at  http://pintangle.com/  for the instructions for this stitch.  She also has the instructions for straight feather stitch and plaited feather stitch.  Since I am very comfortable with the straight feather stitch I jumped right into the crossed feather stitch.  I really enjoyed learning it and like the way it looks with the contrasting threads.  I will save the plaited feather stitch for next week.

I enjoy a good stencil.  They are so versatile and useful.  Clearly I have already been playing with the one the right.  I was playing with it in my journal.  It feels like it has been a while since I have got the chance to play in my journals.  I  use my journals for messing around and experimenting, no surprise there.  I don't feel like every page has to be a work of art.  It took me a while to get to that point but I am glad that I have.

Last week I found some really cool glitter markers!  Yes, I am just a little girl at heart and glitter makes me very happy.  Of course I had to dive right in and try them.  Here is my simple journal page with lots of doodling and glitz.  Fun!
