In My Studio – May 21
.
Here’s what I’ve been working on:
May’s “Try This” posts are all about the Flower Loom. This week, I made flowers by combining two separate simple flowers and adding button centers. I also tried my hand at the weaving technique but wasn’t pleased with the results. I appreciate the suggestions I received from your comments. Folks with experience in knitting and crocheting zeroed in on how to fix my problem right away. Thank you.
Another focus I have for the next few weeks is finishing my “girl” and “owl” paintings. This week, I finished two. This was a bit of a “cheat” because both were basically finished. Taking care of a few details that were bothering me helped “finish” the projects in my mind.
I also hosted one of my card clubs on Friday. We made three projects:
A card.
A little notepad.
A cute party favor. Perfect for a few candies or a little present.

I’m participating in the 2012 Creative Color Challenge, but I’m a little behind. Each month, I’m making a yarn vase for the challenge. This vase, for April, brings me up-to-date. April’s color palette was Mustard Yellow.
Â
I decided to stay monochromatic, and I really liked the result.

I love the flowers, and your vases always make me smile! They are beautiful! I like all your card projects, too, but the favor holder is by far my favorite! 🙂
Love the mustard yellows and the vase. You make so many things all the time, what do you do with all of them? Do you give some away as pressies?
Very nice! I didn’t think I would like the colors for the vase, but it definitely works. 🙂
