Flashy, too

Finished up the embroidery on the mermaid flash piece:

Now I just have to sew up the pouch! I also went back to a quilt I started working on in the fall before getting sidetracked with a billion other things. It's starting to take shape now, and I'm excited to see how it will turn out.

I spent a bit of last week finishing up some baby quilts that I'd finished the tops for a while ago, but hadn't had a chance to put together yet. They should all be going up on etsy this week, starting with a really old school piece-- both in that the pattern I used is very traditional, but also that I hand pieced and hand quilted it. A first for me!

It's up on etsy now, so check it out! I also finished up the bunny applique dress, so it's ready to go.

Flashy

Been working on some new embroidered pieces using vintage flash art for tattoos-- and I just finished my first piece!


There are a few more in the works with different designs... I've got a mermaid I'm pretty happy about coming up. I also put together the cupcake cosmetic bag this week-- it's up on etsy now.


Update-- the cupcake bag has sold, but I'm working on some more cupcake embroidery pieces!

Booties to boot


We have a fabulous-- if crazy-- holiday, traveling to see both sides of the family, who live 500 miles in opposite directions from where we live. We also threw in a weekend in NYC for Mr. P's birthday, with a blizzard to boot. And with boots being thrown in, I spent much of our travel time sitting on trains making booties... (the cupcake booties are up on etsy now).


And also started work on some new things for the new year... some animal applique and some embroidered pieces soon to come.... as soon as I manage to finally unpack from the holidays.
