Under Construction!!

It always takes time for that one of kind masterpiece. Sometimes you just need that one inspiration to get the creative juices flowing. Sometimes you just choose not to create anything. Here is my latest creation. Of course it is still under construction as you can see. The inspiration for this one came when I walked by the front door and the rug looked like it needed an update. The funny thing about this one is that I have just been designing as I go. Pretty unusual for me. I always have a plan when I start a project with a clear picture in my head. But, Not this one. Maybe it will be better this time. Soon it will be done and you can see the finished project. 

Cookie Monster!! Me want cookie!!

Cookie!!!!!

Hmm!! I am sure you are wondering why Jelly Beans with cookie monster. Well let me tell you the story. Well my name is Sandra Jean. When I was a little girl my uncle used to call me Sandra Jean Jelly Bean. He used to call himself the cookie monster. So growing up we used to fight for who was the cookie monster and of course I always wanted to be the cookie monster. But, continually I was the jelly bean. :( So for Christmas 2013, I made this cookie jar for my uncle for Christmas. And as you can see after hearing the story it is very appropriate to have jelly beans with the Cookie Monster.

Last but not least. This rug was made for my Aunt Ginny for Christmas this year. This rug was made from sheets I got from my mother in-law. Hard to believe old sheets could make something so awesome. The dark green is the sheets I used. The other colors I chose to give a bit more color. I am all about reusing things to make something new and amazing. Color is so amazing. you can incorporate so many colors to make a project just come to life.

Locker hooking is very addicting. Strips of fabric all weaved in and out of a mesh canvas. It is very time consuming. But, very enjoyable. Every project comes out very different from the other. Changing directions and different color fabric can make your project change. The sky is the limit of what you can make with this kind of craft. With locker hooking you can make pictures as well as just simple things like the below picture. I love locker hooking.

This is a picture of the purse I made for my niece Andrea for Christmas 2013. One of her favorite colors is green. I started out making it as a basket. But it just turned into a purse. I am very please with the purse and how it turned out. It is a locker hooking purse. Very fun and addicting craft. My inspiration came form a video I watched on making a basket. But of course it did not turn into a basket.
