New pillows for our TV room sofa

I made those pillows with the amazing fabrics I found at the quilt store on W.Anderson Lane. That store just makes me dizzy. I love the different patterns all mixes together, it turned out great.

Here's a cross stitched pillow for Gabe, he loves his Chococat plush (who wouldn't?!). I looked for a pattern and found this one on line: http://www.geocities.com/lullaby_lambie/
I replicated it so that I would have the classic black, a turquoise (own personal fave) and an orange chococat. Looks very pretty and cozy and it's in Gabe's bed now. Highly populated bed :)

I just finished my first ring. Made with Fimo polymer clay and mounted on a silver sterling deep-welled ring from Amate. I added 3 little Swarovski crystals on top. And, voila!! One more pretty ring for my collection!

This is a little wall hanging that I made for Gabe's room with Fimo clay. I made the animals with cookie cutouts and rolled faux wood logs and beads. Looks very pretty and bright and colorful, and amuses Gabe a lot. That's the whole point. To keep him entertained :)

I made this painting for Gabe's bedroom, to hang above his crib. He's been grabbing everything that we hung too close for his reach, he broke his crib mobile and was always going for a wall hanging too. So, there was nothing above his bed for a week or so, which made me sad. So I made this for him, and he loves it, loves the bright colors. I was very inspired by "Ange Lapin", so cute :)

I made this necklace a couple of days ago with beads found in various stors around Austin. There's so much to choose from here, it's awesome.
It's Lemon Chrysoprase, Quartz with Tourmaline insets, Onyx beads and the pretty drop like pendant is also Onyx. I love stones. I like them better raw then shaped and polished, but I like how this turned out :)
I just wish I had more time for crafts right now... Too much house work going on. Oh well!

A couple of crazee bunneez hanging out in a wiker chair in our backyard. Nothing unusual at our house! Blue polka dot bunnee left us though, he now belongs to Ryker (his nursery theme is bunnies, I hope he will love this one!).
