Gypsy Handbag


I completed another gypsy purse yesterday. I like the colors in this one. I printed on fabric using the technique I showed you previously. Then I embellished with fabric (tie dye looking) and embroidered around the pieces. I used these cool letters that are like little brads and I just stuck them through the material with the letters stuck on prior. The brads fit very tight and nice. I liked them. Then I sewed some charms and used an iron on transfer for the jewels. I was going to hang fringe off the bottom but after looking at it that way...I did not like it so I decided it was done! What do you think?
Oh I am so thrilled that it is Friday! I have planned an Easter lunch at my house for sunday afternoon with my family to include my sister (her husband away at work) and my dad. I enjoy our little gatherings like this so much. I will have to post some pics from that event! Happy Easter ...Easter Bunny "Bach Bach" ! That is what my sister says every year. She started it when a commercial about candy for easter started doing that. Heehee

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

I got an ETSY Treasury today! Look what I made! Go and check out the real thing here, it took me an hour to figure out how to just get a snapshot for the above photo. Rediculous. YOu should be able to just have some html and share the dang thing! Anyway, here it is, I would appreciate any views and/or comments. Hugs

Some Work Humor

Cows...A Poem by Richard Armous Cows Do nothing but browse And drowse And now and then moo. That's all they do. Yet even while grazing They aren't lazing. Even while snacking They aren't slacking. If not illustrious Thay are inner industrious, Making milk with all their might. With every bite. Cream too, With every chew. I'd like it fine Could I combine In such measure Business with pleasure . Happy Friday from the Funky Art Queen.
