Talk about big needlework! I can’t imagine how hard this was to work on, it is so big at 32″ by 39″. It takes up a big chunk of wallspace, but I really like the colors and the flower shapes and at only 25 cents, I really could not pass this up. I’m thinking my husband wishes I would of.
I entered this pillow into an online contest for the show Top Design on Bravo. I made the pillow from a vintage paint by numbers painting I bought for a dollar at the flea market. Just ripped the painting off of the canvas board, varnished it, and added some fabrics and bobblies. I won nothing.

Lately I have been crocheting blankets, sketching, some sewing, and learning movie editing software. Who would have thought there were so many steps between vcr tape to a somewhat edited dvd. Either that or I took a couple of wrong turns somewhere. I did take a couple of film classes in college that did help somewhat. In college, I really enjoyed the editing process of filmmaking. Taking a giant pile of film and putting it together in a way that gets your idea across is actually rather fun.
