whimsical quilled damask
Cec has inspired me to come out of quilling retirement.
I had recently broken the glass on this frame but didn’t want to throw it away. I wanted to make use of it and decided to quill something. I thought a glass-free frame would showcase the textures and dimensions of quilling well.
This is my whimsical attempt at creating a damask pattern.
Lexi’s DIY Corrugated Cat Bed
My cat Lexi didn’t like the bed I bought her, but prefers boxes or cloth shopping bags. So I made one from 1 sided corrugated cardboard, and now it’s fit for the Queen. I trailed some string through the middle hole to entice her and once her claws started being massaged, she forgot all about her prey.
Martha DIY Wedding
Martha Stewart is accepting submissions for DIY handmade wedding day details until Sept 1, 2009.
I’ve kept our wedding party favours and still enjoy looking at it and remembering our day. Folding 365 paper stars as a gift for your loved one shows you think of them every day of the year. After printing an image of stars on vellum, we rolled them around empty toilet paper tubes, glued the edges, then crimped the tube ends in opposite directions. Filled with chocolate and stars, we thanked our guests for sharing our day.
