Angel Paper Dolls

As Christmas draws near, I thought I would share a video of the beautiful paper doll angels made by fellow artists. This project/swap was hosted by the beautiful Danielle Muller of The Vintage Dragon Fly. 

I ENCOURAGE you to click on the actual video  (made by Danielle) and ENLARGE to a full screen to see the details on each doll. To find out who made each doll, move your curser over the picture. 

Each of us made 6 identical dolls, and in return we received 6 different angels to hang on our Christmas tree! .


As you are preparing for Christmas remember the precious baby in the manger, and know that the REAL work has already been done for us.

Blessings,
Ele

Sew much fun!

I picked white gladiolas from the garden yesterday. So pristine and gorgeous. I fear they will be the last of the season. I love how they look next to my "Lorena" pumpkin.



Still sewing away! Can you tell I really like making these banners (buntings, pennants)? I was drawn to fabric I spied in the store the other day. Fabrics in browns, blues, greens, and beiges add a Fall feel. The brown fabric with batik blue dots.....fun!






Adding seam binding and a few yoyos just looks right to me.
I couldn't resisit making buntings in pinks, aquas, cupcake and present themes. They are perfect for birthday parties, or baby's room.




I've also been sewing a few fun bags lately. I just couldn't resisit these bright colorful fabrics.
