I did me some craftin' stuff....

Ok, I admit, I let things slide when I get stressed. I get excited about my craft and then I see what other people are doing and I get discouraged all over again. However, I did do some pretty good crafting yesterday and here are the results:

This one is made out of a funky 70's pattern:

This one is made out of a men's silk maroon/gold/grey tie. I have to admit, this is one of my favorites:

Jonathan (my coffee co-worker) bought this one from me early this morning:

This one was made out of an old boyscout's tie:

This cuff is sized for a man's wrist and is made from the remaining part of a silk men's tie and appliqued with a bright teal felt.

This cuff is a women's one, paisley with teal felt diagonal stripes. I love the color combo

This cuff is sized for a woman's wrist, and is made from that same funky duck tie. It is appliqued with green felt in a wave pattern.

I love the way the felt turned out on this one, the contrast stitching makes an extra bit of texture and color that stand out.

Diagonal stripe/grey/red cuff

Whew! That doesn't include the aprons I made for the Black Drop, the reusable coffee sleeves I made for the Drop, the commissioned apron I made for a customer, or the 3 wallets and 2 bracelets I made and gave away without taking pictures of them.

I am excited to get back to crafting again tomorrow.

Off to bed with me.
