January has been good for making things...
I am sewing these little corduroy dresses for the twincesses.....this is one of 2, the other is cut out and down by the sewing machine! It will have soft orange piping and be a size smaller. Subtle differences so the person dressing them gets the right size on each girl!
I have had less luck with my "Tea Leaves" cardigan sweater.....just too tight and stiff....will ravel it out and knit something else on larger needles!
Quilting has been going OK, putting hanging sleeves on these for the show.....
Doing perle cotton big stitch quilting on this "Vintage Spin" quilt for the show...
And making mug rugs for friends!
I am still painting those kitchen cabinets......on "warmish" days..... White gloss inside needs another coat of paint later today!

AND I had good luck with my art painting....inspired by these small photos...(above)...I worked out a background...and her hair...
She has finally found the light....at least on canvas!
Acrylic and collage. 16X20 $175.00 plus shipping....

Oh,... and back to knitting....a felted hat by Lisa Cruse...like the pattern above.....inspired this one below...
Which became a birthday gift for my Sister in law, Melody! So cute!

What I meant to say is that I think I can do a French Impressionist style painting of my SIL in the hat!
