Just finished... 

in my etsy store Daisy May Days

I suppose I am not very good at keeping up with this kind of blog. I am both an artist and deaf/hard-of-hearing so I tend to be a very visual person. If you don't find anything you like on this blog check out my tumblr blog at obsessivecreativity.tumblr.com 

When I don't have much time for creating I sometimes sneak in small snippets of the day to sew or draw or anything creative. Birds are one of my favorite themes. I just added these to my etsy store. I sometimes cut these freehand as I go but I did finally break down and draw out the pattern for one of them so I can cut more than one at a time. I am working on some new bird patterns. I will share those when I finish. 

After a grueling week of classes and boring "business" work I am in dire need of some sewing therapy. So I find myself completely unable to even look at the stack of paperwork that needs to be done and I have decided, already, to skip ASL class tonight.

What's left to do but head to the sewing room?

I started by making a little scrappy bird. That usually gets me warmed up for more sewing and today is no exception. And finally I have time to go through all the remnants, scraps and crafty findings from this past week. I managed to add quite a bit to my stash! I love to shop at thrift stores and secondhand shops for scraps and items suitable to upcycle.

I found quite a bit of fabric.

Now I just need to sort through it all and cut for quilts and other scrappy crafts. :)

I have managed to complete a chair cushion today. I love this fabric. It is even nicer than it looks in the photo. What makes it even better is I found enough of it to make 7 chair cushions. I have six chairs so I will have an extra. And it only cost me $3! 

Now I am off to sew some more. Peace and happiness.
