I had fun coloring this, as I usually do.  I used a number of different things to color it: a glitter gel pen, metallic silver Sharpie, Crayola markers, and Prismacolor pencil crayons.  You are welcome to print and color this image.  Enjoy!

My November Crazy quilt project is done.  I am really struggling to finish these projects in the same month this year!  I think I need to take a break from crazy quilting.  I am not giving it my all and need a change.  I have a start on the December project so that I can finish out the year.

It is a very grey and dreary day here.  I would much rather have snow than rain at this time of year.  Oh well, I am cheering myself with a bright, close up of this flower.

I cut a kirigami snowflake and used it as a stencil to create this on a sheer piece of fabric.  The paints are metallic and I think you can see that in the photo.  I love they way it turned out.  I love the design.  Now I am not totally sure as to what to do next.  If I want to stitch on it then it will need to be adhered to some fusible interfacing as the sheer fabric is too flimsy on its own.  But then I lose the sheer quality.  Puzzling, pondering hmmm.

I really like this design.  I think I could have done a better job coloring it.  I am not thrilled with the gold that I added around the edge.  The light pink seems a little off as well.  I may try it again with different colors.  Please feel to print and color.  I would love to see what you do with it.

The Buttonhole Wheel stitch is so cool!  I really like it.  I used it here with unusual materials.  This is the start of my bead journal project for December.  I decided to use only reclaimed materials and I am calling the piece  Detritus.  I reused Christmas wrapping paper and adhered it to fusible interfacing.  I rolled paper strips to form my 'beads'.  I have stitched with dental tape that I colored with Sharpie markers.  My husband was given a massive amount of dental tape and we will never get through it all.  It just makes sense to repurpose some of it.  Thanks to Sharon B at  pintangle.com  for doing Take a Stitch Tuesday!

Last week I got to go to McLean's auto wreckers with my dear friend ML.  I love going to this place, especially with a friend!  For some reason I find beauty in all the rust and decay.  I found this moss? lichen?  not sure what it is.  It was growing on one side of an old truck.  It kind of reminds me of snowflakes.
