I volunteered for the Free people holiday craft swap and this is what I made my swap buddy. Four paper cranes from an old 2007 anthropology catalog. Unfortunately I didn’t take pics of the finished product. Opps. You can see all the other holiday swap gifts here
Thanksgiving Centerpiece
Saturday, November 28th, 2009
I was not able to carve my pumpkin for Halloween so instead I carved it for Thanksgiving. Why Not. I carved a cornucopia design into the pumpkin and arranged flowers inside. I used a assortment of mini carnations, mums. Gerber daises, eucalyptus, and alstroemeria This was my first time doing this and I learned a lot from this little project. This is something I will be visiting again in the future. If you would like to see more of the process you can go to my flick page
Dead Bunny Costume
Saturday, October 31st, 2009For this Halloween I was inspired to make a bunny ear head band that was posted on the free people blog but originally came from monoxious. I was mulling over the idea and when I went to Goodwill I found a Black spandex crew neck shirt that zigzagged down the back. It was crazy and right then and there I decided to be a dead bunny rabbit. I made the ears and I also made a choker collar, and lace rabbit paws. FYI all these tutorials are popping up because of Maison Michel’s designs.
On a sad note I never did carve my pumpkin for Halloween):
My Little End Tables

Before
After
The two together
I found two end tables up in my attic that were broken and abandoned way before I moved into my apartment (almost two years ago now). The tables were covered with dirt, dust and bird droppings. Geoff and I fixed then and after some perseverance they are completed and Finally functional. For the paint I used a black satin and a vanilla pudding yellow. The paints were discount Oops paints that you can find at home depot. (returned paints). Great option when your trying to save money!! Anyway the bedroom is still in the works. Can’t wait to find the wrought iron bed frame of my dreams to tie in the whole theme of the bedroom! To be continued…
Owl Pillow
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
This is what I made for my boyfriend’s birthday. He loves owls so I decided to make him a little owl pillow. I used a unique denim fabric that I rescued before it was tossed into the dumpster. Score! It had tones of paint splatters on it and I thought they could give the illusion of the owl’s feathers. Please keep in mind that this was my first real sewing project. I think I will be making more of these guys in different sizes in the future. He is just so darn cute and looks great as an accent pillow on the bed!! You can see more pics of the process here

Bruce Lee Roy is a bearded dragon that my boyfriend and I acquired. When we brought him into our home and put his tank down in the living room I immediately wanted to create a really cool background for the outside of it. I wanted something that I wouldn’t get tired of too easily. A year ago My boyfriend and I went hiking in the Grand Canyon and I took a lot of panoramic shots. So a year later I just played with them in photoshop and made this fun unrealistic background. At the time I had access to a large color printer so I printed it out and now it’s a part of Bruce’s home. It was a fun project and Bruce seems to enjoy it.
