Time goes by. I make stuff. I forget to put it up on the blog. Here's a little catch-up:Our neighbors had a baby girl, Olivia, last August. Due to some post-partum problems (MRSA staph infection for mom, minor facial birth defect for baby), during which time the baby was mostly with the paternal grandparents nearby, we didn't get to meet her until last April, just before Olivia's first corrective surgery. So, I made her this little puzzle for her just after she came over for a visit. After the surgery (which went well, according to Mark, the dad), Jennifer, the mom, took her to Wisconsin to spend time with the other grandparents. And she hasn't come back yet. So, it sits on my studio counter for the time being. Olivia's middle name is Daisy.
Each letter and the flower are separate interlocking pieces.A few years ago, I'm embarrassed to admit, I promised Dylan that I'd make him a nice set of bedding for the beautiful new bed he had just made for himself. For his birthday, no less. So-o-o, AFTER his last birthday in May, I actually got around to starting it (sigh--
I think the kids are used to my pace by now). These are pictures of the set I finally finished for him on a bed in our guest room. I haven't seen it on his bed, yet. It's made with two tones of lighter fabric with dark brown applique (reverse on the small pillow).
As I've mentioned before, I have a lot of little pieces of glass left over from various and sundry panels and mosaic seemed a good way to use them up. Here's my second little project. We needed a little half-round table to set under a window and between two chairs in the kitchen. Just something on which to place a cup of tea, that sort of thing. I built the table out of MDF, painted it black and then played with the colors on the top.
Fits just right.Sometime this week, I'll post a bit of the calligraphy I've done lately. Also, you'll be so happy, I'm sure, to see some pics of our garden. Zucchini is out in front, as usual. I guess I'll have to eat some...
