What's On My Hook This Week

Starting a new crochet project...

Hoping to make several items this week!

DIY Quilted Coaster

New day,
new sewing project!
Oh I just love the colours combinations!

After decided not to use
the striped fabric
I started making this wonky log cabin square.

I used all organic materials.
Cotton fabric, batting and thread.
Piecing was machine sewn.

The finished size will be 5" by 5".

Next I will secure the binding
making a nice edge for this
coaster.

All snug!

The pattern I'm following (loosely)
calls for machine sewn, random line
across the top of this.
However...

I plan to hand sew or rather
hand quilt this wee piece.
Not certain of the pattern yet.

So for now, I will let it just sit
and I'll return to it in a few days...

Once again, I used a pattern in
this book to inspire this project.
As usual I sorta change the pattern
to suit my creative desires.
;)

New work in progress

It started out with a doodle
and has graduated into a bit more

I've not completed this just yet, but have it already
completed in my head.

I was hungry while I cut this out...so I took a break!

I spy Barbie!

Another view of my desk and in the back
ground is my wood working area
and stair to roof top deck.

Some of my original stuffed pals
look on
as I nap in
 the warm
afternoon
sun
and...

Full Moon Inspirations...

Full Moons are always inspiring for me. The energy that flows is, at times, almost overwhelming.

I manage to sleep just four hours total, if at all.

My mind is full of creative ventures.

Paint, felt, watercolours, yarn, crochet...the list is endless.

And then there is the online ventures; Pinterest, Ravelry, Rowan Blog...

So, I very often start too many projects, during the full moon phase.

Too often, I stop working on said projects prior to completion.

So, with spring rapidly approaching and the 'spring clean' mode.

I've decided to de-clutter my incomplete Works In Progress.

That is this weekends challenge.
