SKY........A LITTLE DEVIL !

As promised, a photo of Sky........... Sky is Nina's daughter, she is ten.
Nina is my eldest sons girlfriend, therefore Sky is now part of our family.
Well....Sky is very different....and certainly deserves a place of honour on my 'devilish' blog site.
I took a liking to her the first time Peter brought her around.
The is nothing shy or demure about her.....she exudes confidence and makes a bold entrance....and useually an even bolder, flamboyant,
stomping, tantrum type of exit.
As in the words
of the poem......
When she is good, she is very very good.....
But when she is bad she is HORRID!

LIZARD, CUSHION, MONSTER AND DISH

This is work in progress. I bought the table in a charity shop, and sanded it, or rather Colin did! I painted it pink to match my living room walls and am in the process of embellishing it with pond life.

I bought this lovely material at The fabric warehouse,but felt it needed something more interesting done to it. I machine quilted it to enhance the circles and make it more individual. I have made three, one for me.....and two to sell. All three are quilted in a different way to make them different but matching.....each a one-off.


Oh what a great monster.This is the first of many,made from bits of fleece left over from my winter hats.Unfortunately this one dissapered! I found hin in my son Charlies room, he had been having a wrestle with Charlies other monster ( Couture creature). Charlie was 10 last week, and lives for PS2 ,PC, PSP and WWE!

Needless to say I cant sell him now, but keep a look out for the others.


I think this wooden dish had some soapy pressy or something in it, anyway I found it under the stairs with a hoard of other objects saved because they have potential.

A quick coat of paint and a few stamps later and I have a groovy dish, or box if you prefere.

Mind you I have no idea what to use it for!


Sweet dreams....appliqued with hand printed fabric and hand embroidered.........lovely for a boy or girl. I made six, one never left home, two were given as gifts and I sold the last one at my wednesday market. I shall do some more, but I think I shall print the whole thing and give it a retro look.

WINGED HEART SUMMER TOP


I am pleased with this strappy top, it needed something bright and simple to liven it up, so I printed this design based on a tattoo.

FROG

I just had to buy this lovely frog , it gos in with our new decorating scheame for the living room he is on the wall above the fish tank.

BLOCKY

This is Blocky. Really she should be on my angelic site, but I cant say no when I am asked to dog sit, and I hate poop er-scooping!

APPLIQUE SPIDER CUSHION

Wont you come into my parlor said the spider to the fly!
Firstly I am sorry I have not blogged for ages,there has simply been no time. I have been dog sitting an aged Greyhound named Blocky,who likes long walkies,molts a lot, insists on sleeping on the sofa,
eats cat food and poops a lot!

Above is a close up detail of a cushion I made last halloween, I used lurex thread for the web which I zig-zaged on and other rich bits and bobs for the spider. If I have time....Ishall make some similar to sell in good time for next halloween.
