Artist's Winter Attire

Ah, how enjoyable creating is! I'm excited about this jacket! It was such an engaging project, and I'm really satisfied with the out come. By altering a pattern and adding individual touches such as the zipper, sleeves, collar, and floral button strips, I completed this just before the holiday and the first snow fall. Now my friend, Anna, walks abroad  in this classy jacket suited to her artistic nature.

Materials: Coconut wood buttons, felted wool, and cozy cotton lining.

Silk Flower Creation

Here's one of my latest inventions...

I designed this silk poinsettia flower and then added it to

a colorful hat for my cousin's daughter.

Birthday Apron

This is a vintage 1940's apron I made for Mom's Birthday this year. It took much longer than I expected! Finally by October, I finished it! Making this was jolly fun, but it did have a lot of detail work.
