I find myself scrolling through Pinterest all the time for anything and everything that comes to my mind. Recently, I came upon the Gypsy Wife Quilt project and just had to give it a try. I ordered the booklet online and received it in the mail this past week.<br />
<br />
Well, I don't have to tell any of you gals who have made a Gypsy Wife quilt just how fun, chaotic and consuming this project really is. I know there are groups who follow a monthly schedule and tackle section by section of this quilt. I decided to start right from the beginning.<br />
<br />
My first block was the Color Wheel ...<br />
<br />

My second block was the Pershing block ...<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is definitely a wonderful exercise in honing my quilting skills.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wish me luck in this endeavor, as I have so many UFO's already and am still working on hand quilting another quilt from several years back. Note to self ... try to quilt a block a day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Until next time ... Happy Quilting!</div>

Michaels recently had a sale on the many new miniatures that recently came out so I decided to take the plunge. I've been looking at and researching miniatures on Pinterest and have been collecting various items and tchotchkes and here's what I came up with. Hope you enjoy ...<br />
<br />
Here's the entrance to the treehouse with a little place to have a seat and rest a bit. A schnauzer is keeping watch along the path leading to an arbor filled with ivy. There's also a gazing ball and 2 Japanese men drinking sake. This is a figurine that my husband bought a number of years ago on one of our antiquing jaunts. He set them there when I began putting the garden together and they just stayed. This planter will definitely be staying in the house as we wouldn't want them getting ruined by the elements.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Being a gardener myself, I had to have the watering can and the tools need to maintain and tend the garden.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgywAgxBKiOQr7rJbcSzN6E_lTVpAn2V-Bcf9j9qlKUVPg3MujQ2v0H1F5yD0gjO43wUpzMJUEmeXxmwA7aZNcszcIq-dudkFOGuTKWYjJfPEgsBnD8acqO0F1XlE9hidMEEOeVlFCAnW3l/s1600/fairygarden-08.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgywAgxBKiOQr7rJbcSzN6E_lTVpAn2V-Bcf9j9qlKUVPg3MujQ2v0H1F5yD0gjO43wUpzMJUEmeXxmwA7aZNcszcIq-dudkFOGuTKWYjJfPEgsBnD8acqO0F1XlE9hidMEEOeVlFCAnW3l/s320/fairygarden-08.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Here's a better view of another side of the treehouse. I wanted to go with a color scheme of blue, yellow and white and this treehouse fit the bill and I knew I just had to have it when I spotted it in the store.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Another angle of the entrance ... In the forefront you can notice some of the chicks & hens offshoots that I've place here and there in the planter as well.</div>

I had this rosemary plant that I brought in the house at the end of the summer last year and it desperately needed to be divided. Here's one of the branches that I tried to fashion into a tree (maybe a bonsai??) I still think it needs more trimming but I'm waiting to make sure I haven't actually killed the plant and see how it adjusts to its new home. The rest of the plant and the other 2 shoots are temporarily in another pot so I can see if they survive and how they are adjusting as well.<br />
<br />

<br />
Here we're getting to the back of the container. I always buy pansies in the Spring so I put 1 or 2 in here for a little bit more of the blue and yellow scheme I was looking for.<br />

If you take a close look at the above photo and the one below you'll notice a tiny evergreen in the forefront. Hubby told be that this one was sprouting along the fence behind the garbage can so I decided to rescue it. We will see how this one does as well.</div>

Here is the back side now There's what looks like a bare twig that you see at roof level which is actually a maple tree that was sprouting in the garden last year and that I had put in another pot last summer. Hopefully, the buds will be opening soon and I will possible remove the artificial variegated shrub I placed here just to fill up the space some more.</div>

Another view of the rosemary that I mentioned before. I also loved the bridge and just had to have it so I created a little stream with some blue glass pebbles that everyone is familiar with.<br />

Well that's about it for the fairy garden for now. I'm very happy with the way it turned out! Being that Holy Week in next week, I need to work on my Resurrection Garden. I made one last year and hubby thought it turned out great and was a really good idea to keep our minds focused on what Easter is really all about.</div>

Decided to join the knitalong for the Pata shawl over on Raverly.com. I haven't knitted anything in a number of years, but when I saw this shawl I knew I just had to have one! I'm using Loops & Threads Woolike in Teal Lake and here's what I have done so far ...<br />

I'm so smitten with this patchwork blazer. Now if only I had a muslin worked up so I could piece my own together. It's not for sale anywhere and even if it were, I'm sure I could not afford it. Anyway, homemade would be the best!<br />

I get so easily distracted and move on to something else from one day to the next. I have been creating quite a bit actually. I remembered my brother asked me to make him a Chicago flag (just like the one I made my hubby for Father's Day) so I started on that. Then I remembered that I had a wonderful idea for the cover of my sketch book and I started to decoupage tissue paper to the cover of that.<br />
<br />
Then I saw, once again, the 2 painting off in the corner of my studio that had been sitting there for who knows how long. So of course I started to work on those as well. Here are just a couple of the paintings I've been working on this past week.<br />
<br />
First, is this beach scene which has gone through many changes and I'm sure will be going through some more as I'm still not completely happy with the water.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, is this smaller beach scene painted on a 12 x 12 canvas which was done as the first painting from Jacqueline Penney's <em>Painting Charming Seaside Scenes in Acrylics.</em> It just needs a few finishing touches and I'm gonna call this one complete.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
Finally, here is a painting that I call "Dreams of Provence" which I realized yesterday has been sitting for <strong>5 years</strong> waiting to be finished. I really love how it finally turned out!</div>

I've also been doodling in pencil and playing with the acrylic paints as well. Just finished up a little painting of one lone pear. </div>

Anyway, here's a couple of other faces I was experimenting with the other day. I'm really looking forward to having another go at it again today!</div>

My favorite one is the "Blondie" in the second photo above. I'm still amazed at how different each one turns out just by changing up the color scheme and varying the eyes, nose and lips ever so slightly. Each lady has a personality all her own.<br />

I would fill the inside covers of every notebook I could with doodles and lettering, but when it came to art class I was terrified to even attempt to <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">draw anything. Drawing a face or flower was something I told myself that I just could not do and out of the question. From time to time, I try to art journal and even sometimes manage to get the acrylic paints out and put paint to canvas, but I've had 2 canvases sitting in my studio here that are both only partially done and have been that way for more than a year now. </span><br>

I remember watching a You Tube video recently with Janes Davenport and loved her style and the fascinating faces she created. I was so thrilled when I stumbled on <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">a copy of her <i>Drawing</i> <i>and</i> <i>Painting</i> <i>beautiful</i> <i>Faces</i> at JoAnn yesterday that I just had to get it!

But, if you know me I get bored too easily and distracted frequently. This time it's for a really great reason though! I was surfing some sewing blogs recently and came across this fun <a href="http://achallengingsew.typepad.com/my-blog/little-french-jacket-sew-along.html" target="_blank">Sew-along Challenge</a>. I'm hoping to have time next week so I can work up a muslin for my chosen pattern:<br />

I'm looking at and figuring on doing view B which is on the lower right of the pattern envelope. I have only 2 yards of the fabric I want to use so I'm hoping I can make it work. Gosh, I think I just sounded like Tim Gunn?! Oh My?! Anyway, I've had this fabric for quite some time and was never really sure what I wanted to do with it, but I think this would be the perfect project for it.</div>

It's a very pretty boucle that has a black background with accents of purple, magenta, dark blue, light blue and yellow threads that make up the pattern. I think I can almost make out a houndstooth shape with the black, but it's really hard to tell. I figure it has tons of possibilities for pairing with any number of skirts, or trousers or even jeans! I will have to look for a lining fabric as well which means I'll have to go to the fabric store . . . which means, I might get distracted again . . . which means I might end up wanting to start another project??!!! Yikes, I think I better get focused on what I've got going so far.</div>

P.S. I hunted down my copy of <em>Threads,</em> issue 121 from October/November 2005. It has a great article by Susan Khalje on the "Inside Secrets of a Chanel Jacket" which I'm gonna read over again. There's tons of great info in the article for this project if you can get your hands on a copy of this issue for yourself!<br />

I watched through all the lessons once before my pattern arrived in the mail and I've been busy these past 2 weeks trying to work on my muslin. Last night, I finished up doing some redrafting of the front side bodice and am very pleased with the results. Looks like I am very close to actually starting to sew my first real dress!<br />
<br />
The toughest part was figuring out how to alter the areas that needed to be adjusted. I searched on the Internet and through all of the books and magazines that I have and found my answer with Sandra Betzina's book <em>Fast Fit - Easy Pattern Alterations for Every Figure</em>. (BTW, this is a great must-have reference for anyone interested in garment sewing) Believe me when I say I should have looked at this book first. Since I have so many books and really haven't been sewing the last couple of years, I didn't mind doing all this research and I really needed this primer on the basics and garment sewing lingo. From now on, this will be the first book I consult when I need to alter a pattern.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here are some photos of my muslin. I chose to do option C for Vogue pattern 8648.<br />

All in all I am very happy with the results. (Please don't pay attention all those wrinkles you see.) I had to adjust the bust for a lower bust and I made the seamlines for this smoother so that there was no point at the bust. I also had to let out the sleeves a bit and will need to adjust the armhole, but this seems pretty minor as I was really worried about the bust area more.</div>
