play day!

I had a project I was supposed to being with my this weekend to my house to finish.. Guess what?
I forgot it!  OOPS!
So what does that mean? That means I have two days to PLAY with whatever floats my boat! I walked into my studio, and thought....hmmmmmm, where to start... I look down and the scraps in my bin were staring back at me... Not a bad color palette! Yellow, blue, green, purple, and gold! 
OK, Why not!
Now what to do with them? Well, there is my old phone book!  Let's cut some curves, use it as foundation paper, and fill it with scraps... Note, this is free hand... we're just playing here...

Well those were kind of FUN!  Here's a dark funky vintage piece, perhaps that will work... Kind of quirky! Love it! Love the DOTS too... NEED MORE DOTS....

Well, now there is a DOT! Thank goodness for CD's laying around! They always make a great template! Looks like I have some hand work ahead of me...

What are you up to, today?

  2. I'm playing today, too. A friend gifted me a bag of older fabrics so they are getting chopped up so I can make her a new reusable shopping bag. Can't wait to surprise her with it :)

  3. Last year's phone book is in my studio awaiting play-time. Today, however, I am in quilting mode. Playtime will be my reward for resisting distraction and getting this project to "finished".

  5. I have been playing too, but not with fabric. The grandboys are staying with us this weekend, so we're staying busy. Your PlayInProgress looks intriguing!!
