cell phone case refashion

Poor little Riki was sick so he stayed in bed most of the day.

I, on the other hand, spent the day making a small journal out of my old cell phone case. The cell phone died a way too early death and I spent way too much on the leather cover. It reminded me of my moleskine journal so I re fashioned it into just that.

Custom luxury dog bed

Luxury. By luxury I mean the fabric came from our trip to Austria and the insides are composed of some really nice pillows I auditioned before I found the right one. One pillow was the memory foam stuff and the other was down. So I'm not going to do the math but let's just say it is a good Christmas for the babies!
They both liked the idea from the beginning. Lucy took a three hour nap on her pillow before any sewing happened which delayed the process. I wish I would have snapped a picture of that.

Lucy's couch took me hours on end with the planning and surprises that always come with sewing. I don't see things in my head spatially. I don't even know where I am spatially...Anyway the piping took hours and it did not turn out the way I had it planned. And the arms I freaking had a stupid moment and shortened them while cutting things out!

That said, I LOVE it!







 Riki's pillow took just thirty minutes by throwing out the design ideas and using up the leftover fabric. His feathers are sideways and no armrests for him. Ran out of fabric.


Don't tell him!
They like it!

peacock feather


Try as I might I cannot paint an authentic looking peacock feather.  The bottom one is getting closer but needs work.  Maybe when I get my new books it will help.  Drawing on the Right side of the brain and a color book by the same author.  The top and middle are what I "think" a peacock feather looks like...




Found more fabric that matches the bedroom.  Bought a few yards of it and going to make Riki his own blanket so he can leave mine alone.  The little brat chewed two rows of beads off the scarf the other day.

peacock feather


Spent the day working on this feather.  I did it perfect last night then messed it UP!  Sometimes art is all about knowing when to stop!
