Furbily-Furld Takes on the World

Remembering December…
Waking up to the pattering rain outside my studio window…I thought back to this past December and how the months had quickly run together… so fast that I did not have time to blog or spotlight some of my winter creations and snapshots. So I thought I would take a moment and share a few of them with you:)
My husband and I made these beautiful mother & daughter aprons for our dear family/friends…made from QT Ellie’s Fun Designer Fabric. We made these as Christmas gifts. I do believe they were a hit:) I just know they will get many years of good use and fond memories out of these.
We attempted a cake..lol..for a birthday…and it was supposed to be a cupcake…but..lol…turned into a duck gnome hut!!! The important thing was that it tasted good right???!!!
We also made a laptop bag for a birthday gift:) It was my first one…and am pretty happy with it though I do think on my next one I will add more stabilizer/interfacing….
So here are some shots I caught in NM of the snow and Quail on my fathers land….
Oh how I just love the big sky sunsets:) So breathtaking…..
~Cheers~

Winter Wishes….
It has been a long cold winter…thinking I could escape it and for the most part I did my going home to New Mexico for the Month of December. Though it did prove to be cold there more than normal and even snowed twice while I was there!!! A rare occasion indeed:) But I escaped the 25″ of snow reprted by neighbors and friends back home on the east coast! So I am thankful for that and so many other things like our neighbors shoveling out our driveway for us:)
I promise to write much more on my time in NM but for now I am playing catch up on goings on in the studio. Above is a photo of one of the commissioned knit pieces that I am working on for Amy….and I have a beautiful black pair I am working on for another client as well:) Sadly these guys have taken a bit longer as I have been swamped in the studio working on the new book “Furbily-Furld” and various projects. So I have been working on these gems whenever I can fit them in. They are inspired by Bella’s gloves in the movie Twilight:) So I really want to get these babies finished up in time for them to enjoy them this winter!!!
Now this is one of my latest projects. A while back I was accepted into the “Landfill Artist Reclamation Project” http://www.landfillart.org/index-2.html
They sent me a pre-primed hubcap!!! It took some time for me to bring it to life…a definite challenge to work on a sloped serface and still make the illusion of a flat surface. All in all I am very pleased with the way it came out. It will be published in a coffee table style book and keep your fingers crossed…maybe even make it into the traveling show!!! Exciting…I really hope it travels so that people all over will get to experience it first hand:)
I hope all of you had a peaceful holiday and I am wishing each and every one of you all the best in the year to come:) Let’s make the best out of what this year brings us…whatever it may be!!!
~Cheers~

Oh man I caught a bit of Ted Nugent’s rants today and can’t help but think I would like to sit down and have a cup o coffee with him sometime and just shoot the breeze…..lol…..it would be quite colorful!!!
He has a great website that I am sure my brother frequents often with his hunter buddies!!!
All of my house and out of town guests are gone and for a few days while my DH was out of town on Business it was just me and the girls..So my friend Mich came over and we went to scout out Herndons down town district for this weekends paint out competition!!! We have a lovely little lunch and took a few more photos before heading home. Later that evening she came back by to pick me up for a watercolor class she was teaching and talked me into taking part in. So here are the results….
Let me know what you all think? This was done with both a wet on wet techniuque as well as a dry on wet….very interesting!!!!
Here is one of the latest things I did for my best friend….
It is a Baby Carrier…and yes it is made from scratch!!! She picked out the fabric and thread colors and I added some Minky as well….the Dogs found it to be quite comfy as well!!!! LOL
Awe…I miss my Creative Crystal!!!!
Here is a pic of my cutie pie and my DH in the old Baby Carrier….

Oh this is such an awesome machine!!! I could clear some serious clutter in my studio if I had this crazy thing!!! Ah….the things I could do with it!!! I could make my own stamps….create my own images to stencil and my own transfers, cut patterns on fabric, emboss, engrave, use my prisma markers bc it has a large and small pen attachment…..the potabilities are endless…..bc you can hook it up to your computer…..something that my Cricut really can’t do. Simply awesome!!!
