June Take It Further Challenge - Day 2

Thank you everyone for your kind comments regarding my dad's recovery. I truly appreciate the support that I've had from my readers over the past few months. I know things have been a bit slow here and I've lost quite a few of my daily readership but things should be a bit more consistent now.

I'm still working on closets and cupboards. As you know, my husband & I intend to have our Queen Anne Victorian style dream house built. The Universe hasn't shown us the way yet but our current course of action is to get our things in order. If anyone feels like sending out some prayers or positive energy to the Universal Mind for our intention, it would be so much appreciated!

I did some more stitching on my Take It Further block for June:



The seams are covered so now I can start with some beading. And I'm off to do that until my husband gets home from work!

June Take It Further Challenge - Day 1

Well, I finally got around to starting on my June block for the Take It Further Challenge:



I'm really not sure how to pile this up with stash but I'll figure that out as I go along.

In other news, my father has been released from all restrictions now. Another ex ray was taken and the break has disappeared! He's free to drive again although he does have to be careful and not push himself. There will still be things that they need to me to but I should have a little more free time now.

June Take It Further Challenge

As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I treadled! And I sewed up my June block for the Take It Further Challenge:



The colors didn't scan correctly. The center piece is definitely a tan color. It doesn't have a pink tone to it.

Anyway, I glued the peacock feather on using Aleene's Fabric Glue. I brushed the back of the feather with some glue and then laid it down on the block, covered it with a piece of parchment paper and a book for a little while to make sure it was good and on there. Then I took off the book and parchment paper and let it dry the rest of the way over night.

I'd like to start on this today but first, I have a few chores to take care of.

Cellphone Pouch For Mom Completed!

Well, I ran my sewing machines today! Whew! That felt good. I finished this cellphone pouch up for my mom:



I also sewed up some button blocks and my TIF block for June. I'll have that photo for you tomorrow. I decided to glue the peacock feather on using fabric glue. It shouldn't go anywhere now but it has to dry before I scan it.

Cards With Tags

Thank you everyone, for your compliments on my "simple" cellphone pouch. I'm planning on getting it sewn up tomorrow along with my TIF block for June. Since I've been organizing everything in my house, including my stash, I have a better idea of what I will do with this block. I'm wanting to really fill it up with a bit of everything! I've decided to use a real peacock feather as a focal point. I have no clue how to do that yet. I may have to put tulle over the top of it so it doesn't get all munched up but I'm not sure on that approach yet. I'll figure it out when I get that far.

In the meantime, I made a few cards yesterday, some using the tags that I created on my computer last week:



As you can see, I added glitter, lot's of glitter!
