Ok, I went ahead and uploaded a few pics. These are some of the squares for the new quilt. I think the color scheme is going to be really pretty on this one.

Holy quilts!!!

I think they are fascinating! no two are ever the same really.

I love quilts, even better the patterns make great stained glass panels. I have done several stained glass commissions for quilters of their favorite pattern. Picking out glass is just as cool as picking out fabric, who knew?!

These are fantastic!

Do you use a machine or do them by hand?

I don't have the patience to sit doing patchwork quilting, yet, I love sitting doing hand quilting.

I did these by machine. I normally do the quilt tops by machine then finish/back them by hand quilting.

These paper Roses were specially made for me.

Ahhhh! A huge crafters sigh can be inserted >here<!

Jack put up a bunch of shelves in my office/craft room today and now I can dig out a bunch of stuff and organize it properly. Most of my craft stuff has been shoved in a huge closet in the office on floor to ceiling shelves that are very deep which means I have two layers of baskets and boxes full of craft supplies.

Projects that are either in progress or that I'm about to start on:

1. a huge canvas cover up self portrait
2. an elongated canvas with a mixed media ode to Mother Mary
3. a custom Tarot card painting for a friend
4. a custom sugar skull for a friend
5. a custom secret for Julie (that is like, a month overdue!)
6. an illustrated children's book that I wrote and intend to publish
7. a trashcan made of rolled paper strips
8. a custom triptych that was commisioned by my Brother (due in June!)
9. another custom piece that was commissioned by my girlfriend, JENNIFUUURRRRRR!
10. a giant paper mache medusa head

In other words, I am covered up with projects in various stages of completion but I like it because I can work on different things if I get bored.

What are you all working on?!

What are you all working on?!

Do you need more hours in the day?

Currently working on:-

Baby blankets for the Special Care Baby Unit (this is an ongoing project). The recent batch of blankets are hemmed and ready for hand Embroidering.

Three Sweaters to hand embroider; they have been sitting in my 'to do' pile since last Summer!

Four wall hangings each with different themes; Ummm....I started these sometie in 2009. They were 'put away' until I had time to do them. I got them out at the weekend in the hopes of doing them as 'inbetween' projects....not sure if that will ever happen, lol!

I have two bed blankets that I started to hand embroider around 2008....I need to focus on doing them at some point....

Two clocks to have the hands and mchanisms fitted.

I have a Blouse cut out ready for sewing (has been for....errr....ummm....).

I've got various clays sitting waiting to be used....

....HELP! LOL!

back when I was a kid eons ago I was in Brazil. I had some money to spend and I bought this collection of cut and uncut rocks. Always planned to do something with them and never did. Don't know how good they are and I can guarantee that they are probably no longer matched up with their correct names. (I have spilt the container several times.) However if someone would like them/use them I am willing to part with them. I rather give them to someone here rather then thrift shop them.

My camera battery is dead or I'd try posting a picture!
