Grand Piano in Black

TOO much love for this work of art! Yes, work of art. This is a stitched piano whose design is credited to a Kooler Design Studio Barbie furniture book. I fell in love with it the moment I saw the book cover online. I'm really proud of myself for finishing it. It took about a week to make the pieces and maybe 9 hours to assemble. The wires look real, huh? I think the pedals are just too cool. The miniature sheet music is a trade secret....

Yarn Crossing Part 2

I posted this tissue box cover almost a year ago today. This is a different box with a lighter shade of beige, a longer width and finally my logo! The original is to small for modern boutique tissue boxes so I elongated the pattern. One really has to know what they're doing to make this because it just won't look right if you don't do all the stitches uniform.

Stripes and Staircases

I really procrastinated on this one, but here it is done! What took a long time to do on this purse was the red part which I call the staircase stitch. What drew me to make this was the way it closes with the "button"-really though a magnet underneath. The fabric is so beautiful that I just had to use it. Many have protested but I believe it goes just fine with the design. This has got to be one of my best lining jobs to date. Design credit to E.W. Shepard.
