pictures, as promised...

...just a little sooner than i thought.



i basically sat here all day, sewing + ripping music to iTunes. i either need a real workroom so i don't have to work on my bed, or a real bed so maybe i wouldn't be tempted to treat it like the floor. i'm afraid of losing a needle somewhere and finding it in the middle of the night...



fruit of the labor. I LOVE IT. i'm going to make more, now that i've perfected my bird silhouette drawing skillz. (the bird = sketched on paper, traced onto felt, cut out & sewn on.)



detail: blue yarn = scraps from the stash basket, cordurory = from a skirt thrifted last week for this very purpose.



so freaking cute. mom, if you see this... you're probably creeped out. but thanks for letting me pilfer your living room accessories for the photo shoot.

so, now you can kind of see where madeye is going, for now. this is definitely the vein i'm going to be working in, at least for the next little while. i thrifted a ton of skirts last week to cut up and use for appliques, which work like the crocheted disc appliques that are on a lot of hats on the site. i really like that look, but i was getting tired of crocheting every little bit of every little thing and wanted a bit more variety in the patterns and textures. so here we have it.

thoughts? share them! please / thank you!
