VERY IMPRESSIVE

I just stumbled upon Caylee Raber's site

http://www.cayleeraber.com/

and was very impressed by her clean and simple, yet sophisticated design.

Her work is also humanitarian,

since this softie above

is designed for children in

hospital care.

This Standing Aid

is designed for supporting

children with

limited stability.

Check her site and resume.

POUCH

Long no sew!

(A flu has kept me busy lately,

but I'm up and in business again (smile).

Started slowly...

and made a pouch for my

sewing machine notions

and here is what it looks like

by the way, it took me a lot of search work

to find some of Momo's Freebird fabrics

again

Thanks to our Etsy friends for these

little treasures.

KINDLE COZY

My KINDLE COZY didn't turn out

quite the way I wanted it to.

It fits snuggly, but it is on the short side.

The seams are crooked.

But I'm very pleased with

the free motion quilting

I managed to make.

So, all in all, a learning

experience. And as the saying goes

practice makes perfect...

so on to the next one.

My first attempt at quilting.

Not so thrilling, but I love the fabrics and

I'm sure proud of what I managed to produce.

Anyway, I will continue practising

and maybe someday

I'll get there.

Here is the little thing again,

together with some comfort knitting.

NIGHTSTAND QUILT

My nightstand quilt is ready.

I love the colors, but to tell

you the truth:

it is too BRIGHT for

a nightstand.

Can you imagine waking up

every morning to this sight ?!?! (hehe)

I don't know about you, but

I'm not much of a morning person.

So I decided to use it in my

working place and quilt some

more subdued colors for it in the place.

I'll keep you posted!

KNITTED BABY RABBIT

This little baby really tested my patience

I made it following the instructions from

http://littlecottonrabbits.typepad.co.uk/free_knitting_patterns/

Imagine knitting on needles nr. 2.5mm

and all those little pieces!

And the stitching!!!

I really admire Julie for all the

work and craftmanship she has!!

And since I'm into toys and

softies, nowadays,

I keep discovering beautiful things on the web

Check these wonderful toys

they're from

http://mariemrnavkova.blogspot.com/

a Czech crafster.

Google will translate (very badly)

but its still very inspiring!
