I finished Grandma on Wednesday, but between bad light and being very busy, I hadn’t had a chance to show her! A close-up of her face at my Flickr gallery.
and this is what I’ve been working on yesterday and today- more sweater babies-
they are made of recycled shrunken sweaters- wool, cashmere, angora or whatever I can find.
and I made some more atc’s-
well, actually, I had to. My doll club has a holiday swap every year and usually we make ornament dolls. This year I suggested we try atc’s. Then I’ve gotten totally absorbed into making these new woolen dolls and the meeting was Thursday and it was Wednesday and I still hadn’t done anything- yikes! So, Wednesday at 3 pm, I cleared a space on my table ( a challenge in itself!) and redirected my efforts. I already knew I wanted to work with the idea of windows.
I made 11 new ones. You can see them all at my Flickr atc set. The new ones are the last 11. If you are interested in trading, let me know.
Geesh, I have been flaked out lately- I am doing a community craft sale next week- all along I’ve been thinking it was Monday night, but today I thought I better check out the particulars and I found out it’s on Wednesday night! Wow! 2 extra days!
don’t you ever sleep? you get so much done!! I am so in love with your little sweater babies. I have a ton of old wool sweaters that I bought for ten cents each at a thrift store that I have been trying to think of something to do with. I see so many of you bloggers making great things from them and I feel so inspired, yet they are still all in a pile in my sewing room!! Grandma is wonderful! I like her almost as much as your big guys, but I have to say that they are my favorites!!!
I love Grandma’s polka dots and I adore your Sweater Babies! I, too, have several shrunken wool sweaters but don’t know what to do with them. Your creations are always inspiring!
I love that trading card! It’s something I have on my list to do very soon!
