Creative 365: Day 80 & 81 Fabric Yarn and Fabric Painting with a little cross stitch mixed in

I've been rotating projects. Painting until I need to leave it to dry, ripping fabric into strips until my shoulder screams at me to take a break, and then stitching in between.  I did manage to get a couple things done in the last two days though! Here is the latest fabric yarn creation.

I really need to sit down with the fabric and crochet with it. This particular yardage really left me wanting to.

Oh, and I also finished a couple kiwis too, Sprinkles being my favorite!

And finally, the newest fat quarter...

Hawaiian Lei

I've got a lot of new ideas for upcoming fabrics. I just am stuck now waiting for my new paints to arrive!

Creative 365: Day 76 & 77 Kooky Kiwis

In one of the books I found while out on my Thrift Shop Hop I found this crochet pattern for the New Zealand kiwi bird.  They take just a little yarn and are really fast crochet, and so last evening and again today I tried my hand at creating a couple of these flightless birds. Not quite done yet, as I need to get them into the studio to give them a little added flair with beads and maybe some other embellishments, but they make me smile and so I think I will make a few more. They're both made with rescued balls of yarn I also found at the thrift store. "Blue" needs eyeballs yet, but I have the perfect beads in mind for that!






Will post more pictures when they are completed!
