Our daughter's bedroom has sixteen years of
"cool things" collected...
This needle felted giraffe proves there is
ALWAYS room for more!
I worked on this for a few hours the other night...
A little adventure away from watercolors and sketches.
She thinks giraffes are sweet...
She keeps hugging my
Kipper~ Keeper of the Studio!
That I made last year...
A basic shape, here.
I'm having her select colors as we go.
She's thinking a mustard-tone coat...
Bins of buttons will need to be scoured... for that perfect look!
Or maybe a belt with a vintage buckle?
These are fun supplies that my in-laws share with us!
They are furniture upholsters by trade...
Retired sample books!
OOOOoooooh! All of the owl tummies,
bird wings... make do's that will be made!
I will have to add another shelf!
So many wonderful colors and textures...
Hope your week is off to a great start!
