I haven't worked on some of my projects the past couple of days due to other things taking up my time. Yesterday I worked with my Pop's at his Mom's house and helped out with some painting. It started to rain and we got distracted looking through old boxes in the garage. Here are some photos of what we found...

Old Ticket stubs found in my Pops' brother Kenton's desk.

Old glass slide photo of the moon.

Another glass slide photo. This one looks really old. The photo is in focus but some of the features are soft.

Old photo slide of a rabbit. Taken by Kenton.

Another old photo slide of a Chinese village (I think it is China) Taken by Kenton.

Old Singer sewing machine

Look at the detail!

And there is nothing better than smoking a cigarette lit with gold tipped matches.

That's all for today.

Until tomorrow...

Last night I tried to get as much boring work out of the way as I could. I cut out 8 lil' nugget owl bodies and sewed up 4 of them. Also, I named the other lil' nugget. His name is Reginald. When I was first putting him together he looked a little emotionless so, I gave him some eyelids and a fancy scarf. Check him out...

Yesterday morning I woke up to a lovely surprise on my work desk...

Naz's girlfriend/my friend Christine made me some beautiful flowers from yarn. I added them to my antlers in my bedroom above my bed. I love handmade gifts.

I'm going to work on some more lil' nugget owls tonight and there should be some more up in the store shortly.

Until tomorrow...

Little Priscilla is all finished! Mark showed me how to use the sautering iron and I was able to put together her feet and sew them in. Also, I started on another nugget sized owl last night and now all I have to do is get his feet done. Here are some photos and the link to the etsy shop.

Haven't named the other lil' guy yet.

Link to where you can purchase Priscilla.

So, unfortunately there was a miss communication  on my part when I started making the Elephant for Shannon and she wants me to make a smaller one for her. No worries! Once I get the wedding flowers finished, I will make a new one. If anyone is interested in purchasing Ellie the Elephant you can go to Valeri and I's Etsy shop. Here is the link

Here are some progress photos on the wedding flowers for Adam and Ashley. Thanks to Valeri...we made some pretty good headway today.

Patterns drawn out for petals and getting ready to cut them out. The paper we are using is from an old bible that is falling apart from the year 1880.

Valeri cutting out the petals.

We made about 17. Got quite a bit more to go...

Until tomorrow...

Started on the wedding flowers last night but didn't get as much done as I wanted to since I was out late for a friend's show. Here are the deux fleur I made last night. One has interchanging petals and the other has all peach colored flowers. I think I like the all peach flower best.

I'll be making close to 200 flowers. I will post more progress photos later.

Until tomorrow...

Great news! I finished Eli's Elephant. I stayed up till 4 in the morning and then woke up at 9 am today to get everything finished and prepare for the next project. I will be starting on the paper flowers for Adam and Ashley's wedding next. First, I need a long nap! Here are some photos of my work space and the finished Elephant...

Little heart pocket for baby teeth :) and hiding other things like rocks and salamanders and whatever else little kids like to collect 

On to the next project! I am very excited. Now, for some much needed rest.

Until Tomorrow...

Monday was super busy for me. I kind of wore myself out so yesterday, I took two naps! Yesssss! It was lovely. Now since I've had some R&R...time to go back to work. I picked up the rest of my furniture at my old place yesterday and I got a pretty big chunk of the Elephant done. Hopefully...he will be done by tonight. I met with Adam and Ashley on Monday. It was my first time meeting Ashley and she is just a doll! She was excited about the paper flowers and I gave her one of the finished ones and it had a map of Italy on one of the petals and that is where Adam proposed to her. I swear, the Wareloft is magical. Small things like that happen all the time. I'm not going to post anymore progress photos of the Elephant until he is all finished. So, here is the view I am blessed with seeing everyday...

Very blessed indeed...

And one more, for lookbook!
