Ravings of a Mad Crafter: July 2013
http://ravingsofamadcrafter.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 25, 2013. The Needlework Garden, Inspiring Designs for Creative Embroidery. Today I got a really great book in the mail. I've been having a wonderful time ordering from www.paperbackswap.com. So much fun getting books and getting rid of books at the same time. It also feels great when the person getting my books love them! There is a couple of projects in the book that I want to start tonight! So that's it for blogging today! Links to this post. Monday, July 22, 2013. A Very Easy Pattern.

365 Sewn Hearts: July 2012
http://365sewnhearts.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
A Heart A Day! Tuesday, July 31, 2012. I think this flip-flop wool felt scissors fob may be the first of a short series of beachy or summery themed hearts. I'm thinking of a seashore, and a crab, and possibly a pail and shovel (thanks for that idea, Kay- and thanks for this flip-flop idea too! Links to this post. Monday, July 30, 2012. Here's something different: I've actually made a heart that's not a wool felt scissors fob! Leslie's Art and Sew. Links to this post. Labels: hand made heart. This reminds...

http://ravingsofamadcrafter.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 3, 2015. I've been working on a paper sculpture of a hummingbird but I can't get the images to post. Maybe tomorrow. Links to this post. Friday, January 2, 2015. Links to this post. Thursday, January 1, 2015. January 1st seemed a good time to start blogging again. The last month I have been learning to make IQ Lamp shades. Then are really beautiful. Instead of plastic I used thick parchment paper that I have had leftover from a printing job 20 years ago! IQ Lamp made with 30 pieces.

Ravings of a Mad Crafter: June 2014
http://ravingsofamadcrafter.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 9, 2014. Hopefully Back for a While! The last few months I stopped blogging to get some real crafting done! It was nice to have some time crafting without trying to get good pictures and edit them and then documenting what I did. Just to enjoy making lovely things ( in my opinion) and design future projects. I also enjoy blogging and sharing ideas with others so it is time to start to enjoy blogging again too! Recently I went back to http:/ www.craftster.org/. Close up of doll. Close up of d...

Sweet, sweet curiosity. This blog is all about things I have made. You can find intense embroidery, paper quilling mania, crazy gingerbread houses, masks, puppets, steampunk clothes, ornaments, wackiness and sculptures on this site. So have fun and check it out! Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Peace for always, oh and seahorses too. This piece was created to be featured in Dasherie. The Snowflakes were quite challenging as they were extremely specific geometric angles. As I went it became clear that this...

Ravings of a Mad Crafter: Papercutting for 2014
http://ravingsofamadcrafter.blogspot.com/2015/01/papercutting-for-2014.html
Friday, January 2, 2015. Both of these cards were made by printing the templates onto card stock and then cutting them out and then pasting them onto a background card at the center fold. They were both a challenge to make and I learned a little more on making pop-up cards. I am sure that these paper crafts will open up even more possibilities this year.

Ravings of a Mad Crafter: September 2013
http://ravingsofamadcrafter.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 30, 2013. Woman with Mantilla Revisited. Unfortunately I have only worked 2 hours on the portrait embroidery in the last week. However I did get a lot done. It is very difficult to feel motivated making hundreds of French knots. So here she is after 18 hours with the left half of her mantilla almost finished. Woman with Mantilla after 18 hours.

Ravings of a Mad Crafter: Doilies Old and New
http://ravingsofamadcrafter.blogspot.com/2014/09/doilies-old-and-new_13.html
Saturday, September 13, 2014. Doilies Old and New. Recently I started crocheting again. Not the best thing for my hands but I do enjoy crocheting very much. The last county fair I entered a square pineapple doily and it won a first place! The only reason I won first was because I used size 30 thread and the second place winner used 10. Because the second place piece was a truly beautiful Filet of Mary. It was nice to have a real competition. Square doily during starching process. Latest doily is a gift.
