I'm working on many different things....

I've had people ask me why I jump from one thing to another all the time....Well, the answer is simple...

I have ADHD ...I get bored with things so easily, or lets say " distracted "..... But it's also fun and I learn alot......So here, I did a little design that I had drawn up a design to use as a note pad for myself....

I stitched it up using extra teensy balls of Valdani threads ......

Here is the original drawing and what I had done with it......



I also had a few drawings from awhile ago I wanted to make little note cards out of...I re-drew the design in fountain pen and used a damp brush to " bleed" the edges,,,, I have 6 in all and I'm going to call them Birds and Blooms .... here are 2 of them

And lastly,,,,still playing with my Apple pencil and Ipad in Procreate,,,,did a few more designs and one new fabric for Spoonflower....



Sooooo...What this Monday will bring I dont know,,,,,But I'll bet it's going to be a few different things...
The ADHD can be a blessing and a curse, I like to use it for good....lol

I finished my rug binding and all, and got my fabric.....


 My rug is all done.... I knew if I didn't bind it immediately, it would be sitting in a a pile of UFO'S....

It is available for purchase if you or anyone you know is interested......

   I also received my fabrics from Spoonflower...I'm so pleased with how they loook....


Now, the problem is , not wanting to cut into them....lol
I also added a few more designs to my Spoonflower shop as well, but I have yet to order my swatches.....



Ok, so rug is done, Its time for me to move on to something new.......
Hope everyone is having a blessed day !!

Wow...I cant believe I finished a rug ....

Well, I totally surprised myself...I finished this small rug I started on Sunday...Yes its small , only 10 1/2" x 13", but between cutting strips from colors I reverse hooked, changed my mind and was undecided several times...I actually did it...Of course, I need to bind it now ( why does that feel like a dirty word ?....lol )

   I was revisiting some older watercolor paintings I did and was thinking of turning some into Punch Needle Patterns......


And lastly..... Here is a watercolor I found that I did when I was first playing with watercolor...Going for a super whimsical look...I like the colors and the actual theme....It's not as "cringeworthy' as alot of my old paintings.....lol

 
                                               Hope Everyone is having a great Wednesday !!

It's Always A Long time Between Posts...... And a **FREEBIE** Bunny Doodle




Well, I've been just going between projects here and there,,,, I love keeping myself busy , and learning new things....I recently got myself a cheap iPad and apple pencil..... Its alot of fun, but so much to learn.

                             Here are a few designs I did , from a drawing....testing to see how patterns would look as a repeat.....



      I've always wanted to learn how to do stamp carving ....Again, alot of fun, but so much to learn and practice..... 

                                                   I've also been quite busy working on some " Secret " projects...

I have 2 more to finish, then on to the next. Im itching to do some water color, so I may pull my paints out today. But first, here you go, I'm offering a freebie bunny doodle to hook, punch, stitch or Wool Applique.

I hope you are all having a great and creative Saturday.....
