I did it myself!

I love the pants, too, Pixie! I also love your little library   

I think it's really brave to wing it with sewing.  I can always unravel my knitting and try something different if it doesn't work out, but there's no going back once you've cut your fabric pieces.

I love that outfit Pixie!

Oh sewing is just a mystery to me!!!  I always admire anyone who can figure that out.

I've been dabbling in some lampshade artwork.  It's all an experiment and this one needs some more work but I'm awfully pleased so far.

Last week I sew my very first pair of trousers for me. I ompletely winged the pattern so a few things went wrong, but they work, and now that it’s snowing again I love to have them. It was also a rather short projet, I ompleted it within the week end so that was satisfying. 
I also made the vest and shirt I wear on that piture. The vest is really not tailored like it should, but it’s good enough. The shirt is one of the very first thing I ever sewed when I started, it is super easy (from a pirate shirt osplay pattern lol)

urrently working on a new pinafore as one annot have too many pinafores

Wow! That is amazing.

I’ve been doing boring stuff recently- tonight I painted some of my office & I’m trying to organise it so I can finish building a cupboard for my fabrics. Boring but essential.
I’m on call too so it gives me an excuse to stay in my office near my work phone….

What? You made that? So cool!

[burnt_toast]

Ah thanks guys! I've been trying my hand at lots of new materials and 'functional' art. I love painting on a canvas and such, but finding ways to incorporate my artwork on items we actually live with is really appealing to me lately.

Novice, I'm BIG on the organizing thing. I think cleaning/purging/organizing might be one of my most favorite things to do, especially an office. I'm so jealous that you have such a great project!

Oh Burnt! This is where I wish we were an actual community instead of a virtual one.
I have hoarder tendencies & the get worse due to stressors. Right now it is fairly out of control
It would be so cool to have you come over & help me - you would love it & I would get my office done.

OMG this is so pretty
That has to be my favourite colour combination (it's the one I tattoo the most when people ask for colours without specifying which ones )
It's so cool to find way to make art "functional", it brings something extra to it


I've been on a sewing craze this past week, I have 2 pinafores and a jumpsuit done, I need to take nice pictures now

OOOOooooh, that would be amazing.  I have a friend who is on the hoarder spectrum and I've been going to her place for two hours each Sunday.  We just pick an area of the house and go through EVERYTHING.  It's slow going at only two hours a week but we are making good progress.  SO FUN!  I'd totally be in on that.

Fun? Tedious for me! I have so much confidential waste to get rid of!

This first stained glass panel is about 24"x36" roughly, the second photo shows 4 pieces each about 18" high and the last pieces are sidelights I did for my parent's front door.

Holy Schmoley those are beautiful!!  I've always wanted to give stained glass a go but it seems so daunting.  Did you take a class to get started or just dive right in?

[imnotbitter]

That is very cool, pleiades!

Pleiades did you have one of those photos are you picture? I seem to recognise the first one.
They are beautiful.
