Eat Sleep Voodoo

Well I didn't make that robot yesterday because I wasn't feeling it and I didn't want to screw up because I only have limited amount of fabric for the robot. Instead I made more voodoos. It's relaxing for me :D Here they are and I will be posting them throughout the day. Two will go as a pair.

School starts soon! Wow. I hope my kid doesn't pull the "I don't want to wear that" crappola after we buy her what she picks out. It's happened every year! My kids don't like to wear denim either. They are all about comfort. I don't blame them. Anywhoo, this is going to mean 6:00 am alarm again.....OH HOW I DREAD THIS.

Voodoo Boo

I know I have been slacking lately but I have been busy with kids. Here, there, everywhere!! I itch to get on that sewing machine for more than 20 minutes!! I have a robot planned for today and I will move mountains to get to it :)

Last night I did get another voodoo done though. He is made from the softest polyester "velvet". He was a *itch to photograph though. :D

Voodoo Boo awaits Halloween each year with such anticipation! he has already perfected his sinister hobble.

Oh My!

A customer made me aware that one of my little junker plushies was featured in SMALL magazine :D Wow! I am excited!! I feel a little famous, hee.

Voodoo Marie

Voodoo Marie's faded elegance hints of her New Orleans past.

Marie is made from recycled fabrics and buttons. Marie's front fabric is from a handmade bolero jacket lining. Her back fabric is a taffeta type fabric that lined another handmade piece of clothing that I bought secondhand.
Marie's eyes are two recycled buttons from a large jar I purchased at an antique mall. She has one metal eye with faded paint and one pearly one.

I think that the Voodoo's are going to be my main Halloween contribution this season :D

I can make Voodoo's all the live long day. *Sigh*

Maybe if I can make a big batch at once I can take a Halloween display photo. Wouldn't a long line of Voodoo's look great along a mantle (which I don't have) or sideboard??

Viva Halloween!

:D

Division Street

These are some shops on Division. I love the name of the vintage shop LIVED IN LOVER. :D And the sign is great! And that bar looks fun.

This Rain

This rain is great for putting me into the sewing/crafty mood. Just like some people wanna curl up with a book on days like this, I get all itchy for thread. I mean, I love books, too, but my free time is limited and I'd rather sew. Also this gray is great for the early Halloween spirit. I am thinking of making.... well, actually I don't wanna jinx myself! I'll just do it :D

These photos are of two yard sale books and my daughter's painting.

Collages I found

These are some of the collages I found that I made over a year ago. The bunny boy is the only one I used some scrapbook paper for. I need to think of a way to bring these to life in plush form, but keeping their scrappiness and dirtiness. Hmm?
