Well, since my soul will not let me be creative, right now, i have decided to try to complete some UFO's that i have laying around here. i know that i am not the only person who have some thrown somewhere in a corner. if i complete a few before the holiday they will be gifts for some lucky family member. i have pieces that have been waiting to be quilted for several years. nice pieces that once i complete the top, i am on to the next. then there are pieces that i look at and say, what the heck was on my mind to do that. i have a UFO that is still in a corner somewhere in my closet that is called, Too Ugly For You. i am still trying to decide what to do with it. there are flowers, african prints, african figures and some more stuff in it. it is just too busy and i don't know what to keep and what to add. i am going to throw that one back in the corner until my creative side tells me what to do. when i look at some of these pieces that i have done several years ago, i see how much i have grown. how i have improved in some things and how some thing's still stay as they are. there is a style that people know i made it. but sometime when i step out the box and do something else they are like, that is not you, but it looks good. here are some pictures of what i am working a UFO, that will be someones gift and a couple of threadplay pieces that i have completed using freezer paper with no hoop. not knowing that i was suppose to use a hoop. the threadplay was kind of fun this time doing it, so after i finish a couple more UFO's i am going to try doing some more threadplay. so check out the picutures, and i will see you later.

if you're in a completing ufo mood, i've got plenty to send you :)
that little boy is just too cute! what was your technique you used?
i can only handle what i got, right now. don't know how long this mood is going to last. i have two projects i need to do and just can not do it.
the little boy is my grandson. the picture makes him look older. i trace the out line of his face onto fabric and satin stitch the face and hair. i also used some type of water marker that didn't do what it was suppose to do, or i just did it wrong. i know i did it wrong.
The image of your grandson is FABULOUS! You should do a How To portrait post!
Best, Kyra
