Lace Bag
This is my latest creation. I am loving lace and fabrics these days. Working with them versus papers and glues takes me back to the days of creating my family's wardrobes many years ago. There was a time that the biggest share of our clothing, including my husband's shirts, were "homemade".
I have collected a huge amount of vintage and new lace the past few years for no particular reason other than "I just love it" !!! I'm sure some of the blogs I follow and seeing all the lovely things other fabric artists create has had a little something to do with this obsession.
The main body of this bag measures approx. 11" x 12", is fully lined with a pocket and magnetic closure.

Boho Tote Bag
It has been a long time since I have used the sewing machine to create anything. I love all the creative bags of all different sizes that I have been seeing so I thought it was time I made one of my own. The base of this is denim that I had on hand. I cut a large doily in half and sewed it to the front. The other half is used along with half of a beautiful silk scarf I have had for a long time to hang from beneath the "flower". The other half of the scarf was used in making the large flower along with some lace and a vintage button. This was fun to make and hopefully will get my creative juices flowing again.

Altered Christmas Cards
These are the few Christmas Cards I altered the last couple of weeks. Much too late to get them sent out to family or friends this year, but I will have a head start for next season. Quite simple in the construction, but, fun. The green one and the one with the snowman background and button ornaments are my favorites. I had a hard time getting "into" creating for Christmas this year. I'm still stuck in the Halloween "mode" !! Merry Christmas, everyone !!

Grapevine Wreath
My awesome grand-daughter made this grapevine wreath for me when when she cut her vines back this month. I have a "bin" of Christmas ephemera out in the garage - you know, those things that you think you "might need" - someday !! Sure enough, I found just the right things to add to the wreath and hung it on my front door. The poinsettias and pine cones are a candle ring that was perfect to use. The little Santa Claus figure -- I have no idea where he came from, but, a little hot glue came in handy there. A large zip lock bag of Christmas themed ribbon unearthed lots of red stuff to make a fluffy bow. Zip ties added to the back of the wreath made good hangers. YES, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus !!!
