Since I will soon be an auntie (for the 6th time) I crocheted a few new do-dads for the new babe's hand-me-down mobile to make it his own. Two monkey heads (yeah, it's a tad creepy, but so is auntie) and two bananas swivel around a tiny monkey that hangs from his tail in the middle.
This picture is really horrible, but if you squint you might be able to tell that this cheeky monkey's got himself a yummy 'naner treat.Next up... I actually make peace with my sewing machine and crank out the middle section of my king size quilt. This is an awesome free pattern (http://quilting.about.com/od/quiltpatternsprojects/ig/Free-Quilt-Patterns/Through-the-Windows-Quilt.htm) that I reworked to be a bigger size.
I am in love with this pattern and the fabrics. Too bad I spent so much on the awesome fabric... now I've got to save my pennies for the border fabric and the backing. Hopefully I finish before the nights get cold again.
And now my favorite project... Venetian Carnival Masks!
The background is this: My sister and her husband will be attending a Venetian Carnival themed party and are planning on going as the sun and moon. I couldn't pass up the chance to piddle around with miniscule rhinestones, glitter wire and some seriously toxic-smelling glue (as you can see.)
The Moon.
And the obvious favorite: The Sun. I'll leave you with that for now.
