I am two pages away

from sending in my 2012 Sketchbook Project .

Last year I didn't even get 4 pages done.

This year I did simple sketches in metal point.

lavender & rice eye pillow

These are great if kept in the freezer and then used cold like that. Most people I know use them when having trouble sleeping or when they have tension headaches.

meyer lemon help

Does anyone have a killer recipe using Meyer lemons. I finally found some of these here and I'd like something for Christmas that is going to really make use of their unique taste.

penguin applique oven mitt will be a gift

I made the penguin applique out of pieces of fabric. The penguin is the same fabric as the front.



Here are the red lining and a close up of the penguin.

latest sewing projects

This was the first one. You can see I had trouble with the bias tape, but I didn't have time to redo it. Plus you can only redo things so much until you fix them to death! :)



The cork bottle fabric is sewn onto a linen towel.

chili pepper oven mitt

Chili peppers with machine sewn accents. I love linen.



(should be the last one of these for a while)
