Gearing up for the show




I've been sewing quite a bit to prepare for the June 5th event. I am sad to say that I got a great deal on 4o colors of thread, only to find that my machine does NOT like it. It keeps sewing on the reverse side of the fabric. In some cases it's ok because you won't actually see the seams. But when I do top stitching, the knots are on top. sigh. And of course, there have been some bad sewing days where things just don't turn out. I am making the most of it and still having a good time making them.

I'm not sure how to displays these guys but a friend had a good idea to use manzanita branches to stick them in. I just need to figure out where to find some where it's not illegal for me to take it like from ahem, the state park by my house.

One of Mason's library books gave me some inspiration for new monster shapes. I am going to give them a try.
