Vintage Cook Books

Sometimes you just have to let go of things you love. Maybe because you've outgrown them, ran out of space or you've moved on to other things. Whatever the reason, I have just posted these cookbooks in my Thomassonlane.etsy.com store. You can read more about them there!

Adorned Eccentric Fabric Bracelets

Inspired by Coleen Soln, although these look nothing like her's in the end. Thank you Coleen for the wonderful article in Somerset SEW Summer 2009. Here are what they look like opened up. Thanks again Coleen for the inspiration.

Vintage Funk Jewelry (Brooches)

Here is some of my new work. This pic isn't the best, but it's the best I have for today! I will try to do better with the next batch. You get the idea anyway, with what's kept me busy today.

Mmmmmm Good!

Last night's dinner was delicious. Beef wellington, stuffed pesto portabella mushrooms, risotto and sauteed squash. Of course I didn't eat the Wellington, but everything else was super yummy!

Even Though

Even though I am a vegetarian and all that, I still think these buttons are kinda cool. I doubt I'd use them on anything, but people seem to really like them. I think they'd be cool on lodge look art or things like that. I guess knitter's use them too. To each their own!

P.S. That's my grandfather in the pic. http://www.heart2art.etsy.com/

Still Sewing Collages

I am still at it as you can see. Seems everyone is pulling at me from so many places, there just aren't enough hours in the day. It's my own fault, I know I just tend to take on too much and my mind wants to do more than my body can. It's just the artists way, I am told. Anyway, I enjoy everything I do and that's what counts in life, isn't it?

Fabric Collage

Here are some things I worked on today. I felt like getting my trusty old sewing machine out and giving it some use today. I hope you enjoy them.
