Fabric Beads

Here are the "Bald Beads" before any embellishment.

These were fun!  I will now attempt some puffy ones made with cotton balls.

Have a great day! xx Analisa

Hello My Friends!

I hope your summer was everything you wanted it to be and more.  I stayed home this summer as I had a house full of visiting in-laws from Damascus. 6 to be exact and they are still here! So my household has 13 now yikes! We are coping......

I have a few finishes to show you, one is a felt pincushion.

I have crocheted a wool/acrylic blend, beaded scarf in blue jean type colors.  It so soft and luxurious and the  silver and pewter beads add a Delicious weight.

The colors look somewhat silvery in this picture but you will see the true colors as you go down and view them modeled on my lovely daughter Hana.

That's all for now.  I have a knit elephant in need of some eyes and then I will introduce you.

My 13 year old daughter and niece were let loose in my craft room today.......

 An egg pin cushion...

And lace bracelets with snap...I'm so proud!

Have a nice day! Analisa xx

If you should have any questions on how to make these just ask, I'll do my best!

Here is my own Japanese book I just bought yesterday.  I absolutely love it!  It is full of a lot of beautiful and uniquely Japanese quilted patterns.  It has two bundles of paper patterns with it.

 ....and here are some of the projects.

Thanks for looking, Analisa xx

Hello a new finish to show you.  It is a 7x4 hand quilted, embroidered and beaded pouch.  found the wonderful design from Cecile Franconie's book.  Beautiful book in french.  see it here. and her beautiful website here

and

I know its horribly off center but for a first try not bad over all!

Morning! Hope your day is going well.  Kids are off for a local holiday and the heat is sweltering here in Dubai.  I miss Seattle so much more on days like today.  Have a few things to show you today, some finishes.  First up is a scissor fob.

 Second is my own design is a series of Jane Austen quotes.  It is a sun glass case that was immediately snatched up from me by a good friend.

 "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife" Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice

Cameo of Jane Austen.

Antique wooden button. 

Thank you for looking!  Have a wonderful day........Analisa xx
