I finally was able to start stitching on one of Gina's Peacock designs. I love the primative look of this little one so decided to do him first!
Call me crazy (it's ok, really!) I'm stitching the entire design with Rayon floss! I'm sure many of you know how challenging rayon threads are to work with but isn't the shine amazing?
If I have the right colors, I want to use some crystals in the centers of the tail feathers. And because I "must embellish" I'll probably find a place for a few seed beads. If they look good!
I want to make this into a handbag for myself.

Fish Under The Sea Block - Complete!
I completed this project yesterday afternoon and I must say, I absolutely love it and want to do another Fish Under The Sea quilt now!
What a change of pace from traditional crazyquilting! I use some broken jewelry that I got in a bag of misc. pieces at a flea market last Summer. Lot's of sequins, real seashells, pretty little fish charms, dyed freshwater pearls, semi-precious stone chips and of course, some beads.
And speaking of handbags, that's probably what I'll do with this piece.

I Have A Confession To Make.....
I'm a handbag junkie! You know how many women just love shoes? Well, I love shoes too, I just don't like them on my feet! No, my thing is cute little handbags!
I found a wonderful shop over at Etsy. Louise of Scarf It Up makes beautiful knitted handbags with those gorgeous fancy yarns that we see in craft stores now.
I've been drooling all over her shop for months now! I finally sent Louise a message telling her how much I loved her bags but couldn't decide on which one I wanted. She offered to do a custom bag for me! I wanted something for Winter that would go with my black coat so I decided on a black bag with pink foo-foos!
Isn't this gorgeous?!!! Because it's handmade, I wanted to share it here.
I'll be needing another one very soon!
