Hi Craftie Friends!
I am off to vacation today for 10 days!!
In our family vacation means to truly “vacate” the house, the state, and leave all our electronics behind. Armed only with a camera we set off to enjoy ourselves!
Check back after October 5th for details of my fabulous trip including the awesome trip itinerary I made for our family!
There are only two rules at Sunday Night Craftie Club: (1) No talking about work (which made more sense when we all worked together) and (2) You have to make something.
I wasn’t feeling well on Sunday, but that doesn’t mean I broke rule #2! I had to find something to make and I was inspired by one friend’s latest adventure — joining a sorority! Their mascot is a giraffe, so I made one for her. The other girls were jealous so I had to make animals for them too!!
MY TIPS FOR YOUR OWN PAPER PIECING
**I free hand most of my work, but I sketch it out first just to have an idea for dimensions.
**Then I draw only half the piece on a folded white paper so that the pieces come out symmetrical.
**I cut out a template and then trace and cut on the color I want!
**Ink the pieces to add dimension
**Add details by hand with a black pen
The last few days have just worn me out! I’m fighting through a cold trying to make it to next Friday (the day before our family vacation!) and I want to be healthy so that we can have some fun!
In the meantime this was a momentous day all on its own…my watermelon was ripe enough to pick! I can’t wait to cut it open later and take a big juicy bite. I’ll post pictures tomorrow!
