6.9.11 ... sweet hearts and eeyore

today i designed these little scrap fabric heart bookmarks. they consist of two coordinating fabrics with a white piece in between. the ribbons are yarn based and i added an extra square of white fabric to that section so that the yarn is between two pieces on both sides. i had fun making these spur of the moment little recycled treats.

scout found the mint green piece at 'fred' as we call the bin thrift. and, look, it has heart shaped designs! the floral piece is a vintage cotton tie piece. all of these fabrics are 100% cotton. it's the only way to sew, ladies and gents.

the piece seen in the first photo and the center heart shown here are from a designer sample. i've had it for years.

last, but never least, is this cute pin back i made out of a discarded children's book illustration. this is a surprise for one of my repeat customers. what did you do today? time for my home made chocolate silk pudding that ev just brought out.

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon

5.11.11 ... mending my anemone

i needed to cover this teeny hole before it turned into something irreversibly ruinous. so i went through my trusty labels box and found the navy and pink label. i don't need that one. i just love how it looks so i added it to my task list. here is the label i chose to cover the hole...

i chose it because it is small, very soft and worn and has a j which can stand for me. in my mind. and, really, who else's matters?

so, i hand stitched it on. this is side a and here is side b...

if you're wondering what this is, by the way, it is my anemone. it's a protective case for my pony (iphone). i made it out of two cuffs and a neck ribbing bit from a long sleeved tie dyed t-shirt i repurposed. i love the color. and i think it looks like an anemone. it would look more like one if i hadn't accidentally sewn across the bottom. i meant to sew straight across leaving the ruffle showing on the outside which would match the top rim.but se la vie. i am used to it now. the sun was almost completely set so this last photo, which shows the finished mending and applique design.

i know i will enjoy it much more. i love personality in my earthly possessions and creations and this fit that paradigm already but now it is more pizzazz-y. we all need some pizzazz.

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon
