So I have been obsessed….

LOL… what is new? Me? Obsess about something?

Usually it is shoes. This time? A cowl! A cowl, you ask? Why yes? Winter is coming for sure. I hate scarves. I hate hats. So, a cowl seems the answer. And when I saw THIS one a while ago somewhere online… I knew, I had to have it. Well… Burberry is a wee bit out of my price range right now, so I searched high and low for all kinds of pictures so I could figure out the stitchpattern. It took me a while, but here ya go: MY Burberry inspired Cowl:

I don’t think I’ll be cold this winter, right?

I made another cowl for Trouble #1 as well. Super quick knit. Will post pictures later.

 

Have a good one.

A wedding card….

my lovely neighbor’s son and his girlfriend eloped to Las Vegas. But what is a wedding, eloped or not, without a proper reception/party/celebration afterwards? And a party we had! Saturday was the day! My gift to the happy couple was cupcakes…. 80 of them. in 4 different flavors!

I still wanted to make them a card and this is what I came up with. I pretty much CASED this card, made a matching envelope and there you have it:

The PP is by Kaisercraft, everything else is from my left-overs box….

 

Now I have to take T#1 to the train in the city. She’s leaving for a week long trip with her class. Let’s hope the weather holds up.

Have a good one.

less than 2 months….

till I get to see these guys in concert again! Squee!

Have a good one.

Another LO

I haven’t scrapped in so long, so I am using a lot of sketches to get me going. This LO is based on a sketch posted in a German scrapbooking forum.

Enjoy!

Have a good one.

A LO…

yes, as I said, I scrapped. And, can you believe it? It’s actually a LO with pictures of myself. So, here goes:

 

Have a good one!

Workshops with Ms. Nat

So, really… I haven’t really had a chance to take a workshop with Nathalie Kalbach in a while, because, if you had been there, you would know that I am usually the one fixing coffee, cleaning stamps or otherwise working in the background.

But that doesn’t stop me from doing her workshop projects “after the fact”.

Here’s my latest: This project was so much fun. So not my usual style, so not my usual… everything. BUT, it got my “creative juices” flowing, so to speak and I am back in the swing of needing to sit down and scrap obsessively. Lots of LOs piling up already… I will show them in a bit.

So, if you haven’t had a chance to take a WS with Nat, go, rush right over, sign up…. she’s teaching in lots of different locations. I am especially excited about the upcoming event in Hamburg,  Mixed Media Circus, which she is teaching with another favorite of mine:  Julie Fei Fan Balzer.

So, have a good one.

Say it isn’t so….

Shoegirlinnyc is posting again? I hope so. It’s been a long time since my last post and a bazillion things have happend in my life. Most of it pretty shitty, and it’s taken me a while to recover, but lately…. all good things. And that means positive energy, to start things fresh.

So, hopefully, I will post more often.

Have a good one.
