Wanting to stitch a Dragon so badly, for this special lady who is a dragon baby and loves dragons, I resolved to ransack my cupboard and found this design from a forgotten book. Thou, its meant for a bookmark, I improvised for a flatfold, my very first imperfect flatfold.
Thank you everyone for your comments on the Shoe Festival, its a good feeling to know that post such as that is being appreciated as much as I appreciate your comments. Blogging from now on will have to take a back seat for awhile, with things that is going I hardly could find time to write, no I should say it take time for me to blog. I do have a couple of crafty things to show but first the photos need uploading and then I need to find words to go with it. Sorry if you don't see me leaving comments on yours thou I may have taken a peek.
Private Exchange with Dani
Design from Cross -Stitch Design from China
by Carol Phillipson
Size 5" x 10"
Fibers : DMC my choice of colors
With my exchange for Dani, I manage to save up a Special Edition Dragon Year 2012 Bottle Opener with a Dragon design from the Tiger Beer Chinese New Year promotion in red tin box complete with the chinese word for dragon, a small pouch from Thailand and a personalized beaded alphabet that spelled D-A-N-I in black and white, the taekwando colors for Dani. I received word of its arrival a couple days ago from Dani, thank you Dani for your kind words on my finishing. I enjoyed stitching this for you thou a bit rush to meet this final dateline.
Hoot ! Hoot !
Size : Tip of ear to bottom 5"
Size : Tip of ear to bottom 5"
Width : 4 1/2"
Lace pocket depth : 2"
My first Owl
Material : Owl body ramnants Jeans fabric
Cotton and felt on wings
Felt and buttons on eyes
Nose Felt
Lace 2 1/2" Width pocket
If you think that the eyes is slightly tilted, its because it is. I didn't realized that the jeans remnants is of stretchable material until I was actually sewing it on my old machine and I just don't know how to control it from pulling on the fabric, if you know what I mean.
