Fun, Quick, Easy Market Totes

Take a look at these fabulous Market Totes that I made for an upcoming swap at Cloth Paper Studio.  I used Anna Maria Horner  fabrics from her Drawing Room line of upholstery weight cotton.  They are double sided so you can turn them inside out and have a different design.  These are durable, washable and will last for years.   The design was created by Jessica at SewBunnyBun in Perth, Australia.

Won’t these be fun to carry around at the Farmer’s Market?  Imagine these loaded with fresh carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, corn, flowers and such.

Handworked Dolls

These are for a Dotee Doll swap with the Cloth Paper Studio Yahoo Group.  What is a Dotee Doll you ask?  Dot Christian started creating these dolls a few years ago which started a craze in swapping these little darlings.  There are many variations, but I chose to make mine the same shape as Dot’s and add some beads, trims, embroidery and such.

1001 Journals, last page

I finished up my last page in the 1001 Journal project #3118.  I will hand carry this to California next week so the journal owner can see it and then send it off to the next person in line.

This was a great project and I can’t wait until the next journal arrives.

1001 Journals project, another page

Boy I love to create those colorful backgrounds with acrylics.  The paper on the right is from an old roll of gold and white wallpaper.  The picture of the nest and eggs are from a fat book image I created last year for a swap.  The drawn nest is encircled with brown and tan/gold yarn.  Now on to page 4.
