This is one of my favorite things to do. Grab a bunch of stuff and just start making it work. I can't wait to see how this turns out. I have lots of things I am working on this week, such as trying to finish up on some of the things in progress, but that is how it works for me. I think it's because I just enjoy so many different mediums. It would be terrible if I had to choose one. 
I made this little cat out of cotton. He is missing his little red ball. I guess he needs me to make another one.
I just love her little face!
Sweet little vintage angels
I laugh when I look at the tinsel dripping over the mirror. I told my Mom, "I will never have that stuff on my tree". A good lesson in never say never. 
It's beginning to look like Christmas. I just thought I would share a few pics from around the house. I have a thing for gingerbread. Run Run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man. I loved the story as a child and still do today.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We finished up on the leftovers yesterday. I need to really get out of my zone and go shopping. I really am a hermit. I made this sweet little cuff a few days ago. It will be going in the store. It's been a long time since I have done any embroidery work and I must say it was fun. For those of you following the reconstruction, I had a little set back and need to do some seam ripping. I cut up the arms of the sleeves with the intent of inserting another part of a sleeve from another shirt. It was a flop, so I will be working on that today to fix it. I have also started a new blog called My Spirit Cloth Journal
Yes, It is a Christmas tree decorated for Thanksgiving. I do this after Halloween because Thanksgiving Eve I decorate the tree for Christmas. This way it is up and ready and in the mean time I have enjoyed the tree decorated in all the fall colors. 
I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I think it is finally beginning to click about this artful clothing. The best thing to do is really get in there and begin layering. I did not start seeing this until I began cutting apart pieces of clothing. It seems like you need lots of pieces to really make it start coming together. I even like the little quilt blocks hanging there with the bright colors. I did end up using my vintage dress form and that did seem to help to have something to pin and tuck on. This is really lots of fun! I like things that are a little wacky.
I think I have found that something that will give my reconstruction some color and pattern that it so much needs. It is a scarf. Now I just have to figure out how to drape it, so it looks good. I really wish I had a good dress form. The kind you can adjust to your measurements. I was watching the DIY network and on one of the shows they made one by wrapping the person in duck tape and then stuffing the form. I can just hear my husband now as he tries to cut me out of the tape.LOL 
Yesterday I decided to do a little crocheting around the collar. There was a part of me that wanted to go with bulky yarn, but the shirt is a gauze type material and I felt it might be too heavy
It seems these days I have a need to crochet. I have a lot of scraps, so a month ago I started cutting out 2 inch squares and stitching around the raw edges and then crocheting an edging around the square. The light weight quilt will be reversible
