Our 2nd sets of prompts for the
September Fabric Journal pages
are:
"Nutcracker" and
"Winter Mushrooms".
Above is my proposed base
for my version of a Nutcracker,,
[I must admit that I am not a big
fan of Nutcrackers--
to me they always
looked kinda scarey!!]
💂👿
So I decided to make a happier
Nutcracker person...
A Lady one :))))

[Lotsa little pieces to baste down]

As far as "Winter Mushrooms go,
I am still pondering that one...
😦😲
***********************
Meanwhile, I have been
continuing to hand quilt a bit
while watching the end of
baseball
season...
my poor Red Sox are
in disarray this year...😭

I'm with you in thinking Nutcrackers are scary. I'm currently cross stitching my second one and will be very glad to put it behind me.
ReplyDeleteI suspect our Blue Jays baseball season is destined to come to a halt before long but hope springs eternal to at least get into the playoffs.
Maybe do a Google images search for winter mushrooms to get a sense of their color palette and do something with that even if it isn't "mushroom-y" in appearance? Love your Lady Nutcracker!
ReplyDeleteYours will be a sweet nutcracker, Julie. I can tell that already!
ReplyDeleteFor your winter mushroom I can almost imagine one, or several, decorated with lace, as if snow-covered.... You'll come up with something wonderful!
Hi! I love your Nutcracker. As mentioned I always found them scary too until I found a Nutcracker head washed up on the tideline years ago. I brought it home, dried it out and mad it the head of an angel doll.
ReplyDeleteI have not followed baseball this year, wonder how my Yankees fared.
Hope you are feeling well, I will email you!
love

I like your nutcracker piece. I think most of our teams are terrible this year!
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of a female Nutcracker. What are winter mushrooms?? Our poor Red Sox didn't do so well this year. Oh, well, there's always next year!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing how you interpret the prompts. So fun. . .
ReplyDeleteA female nutcracker sounds like a good idea! She is looking good so far.
