This is a group of Matroyna dolls I made for my friends at Christmas this past year

Just had to buy this set as it had a neat look to it.

The $60 vintage Flexsteel couch my husband and I bought for our living room. There wasn't a hole in it and the fabric was in fantastic shape!

Made from an awesome coat that my best friend, Gracie was given when her Grandma passed away. She had lots of memories of her Grandma in this coat but it was way too large and a little too Grandma-like for Gracie. I cut up the coat and the lining and was able to make an assortment of throw pillows. Gracie and her mom were almost in tears when I gave her these (she had given me the coat in a move, with no idea what I'd do with it). It was the perfect way to preserve the memories of the coat and not have it collect dust and rot in a closet.

Again, with my fake screen printing technique. I spent HOURS doing these, but it was all for a good cause. When the SPCA would hold adoption events at Petsmart and the like, people wouldn't always be able to tell which animals were pets and which were up for adoption. This was my cheap (free to them) solution. I didn't sew any of these vests or bandannas at the time, but I applied vinyl stencils and painted them (3-5 coats on each). At one point, over 50 dogs sported these in a parade in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan.

It was all a labor of love. I miss the SPCA of SW Michigan.
