The ability to embellish any swatch of stockinette that dares cross your path is a necessary skill for any aspiring Peacock. Here is a video of a quick hexipuff transformation which illustrates how easy this is.

A Basket of Flowers - 3KCBWDAY2

crochet & embroidery on paper

Meet blue. She is a gift from my sweet husband who knows that I have always wanted an old fashioned bicycle with a bell and a basket full of flowers.

Just Doodling

Shoes, ball gowns, butterflies, flowers, birds, rainbows, dream houses....these were the inspirations for many of my childhood doodles and sketches. I used to daydream my summers away with nothing but an old shoe box filled with colored pencils, a sketchpad and my imagination for company. Nowadays, pencils are for jotting down quick notes or to do lists. How I miss the carefree act of just doodling for hours on end. During a trip to the bookstore this week, I impulsively bought a sketchbook. Along with some pencils borrowed from my niece, I have rediscovered the fun of drawing. These are future quilt designs (never mind that I do not know how to quilt).

And why stick to just pencil and paper? This was a free kit from issue one of Mollie Makes magazine.

After filling the front with decorative running stitches, I decided that the back was a perfect spot for some more doodles.

At this point, nothing is safe from my doodling, not even the little guy's red kitty in progress.
