As I mentioned in my last post, I've been making some coiled fabric bowls recently, and that carried forward to this post. I have made some commission pieces, but also have started making some to bring to Arts Connection, and hopefully I will also have some to post on one of my e-commerce pages soon. Here's one I finished today... if you have been following my blog for awhile, you will recall that I have a "thing" for Autumn Leaves, so each year for several years now, I make several for the season:
And I also love to make covered journals, which are a great gift item:
Some of these are used with scraps of fabric I've accumulated; one has a botanical print that I created last year, then stitched around some of the leaf imprints. The last one is of a beautiful batik leaf print, combined with a strip of sprigged blue fabric I've had in my stash for at least 20 years! I love making these, and hope it will keep journal writing alive for at least some budding writers!
On the weather front, we got a temporary reprieve from the unseasonably hot temperatures at least for a couple of days and nights! A cold front came down from Canada and made me decide to make a big pot of 15 bean soup one night... enough for another dinner, and a couple of lunches!
Having said all that, I will leave you with a giggle:
Stay safe, but don't forget to laugh!
