regina
This is regina. She certainly is pink.
You can see more of my birds over at kstyle today.
Karen made a neat kaleidoscopey bird slide show. Thanks Karen!
fancy progress
For WIP : birds on the way to fancy.
emaline
A box of vintage fabric scraps arrived yesterday and it’s fabulous stuff, much better than I expected. I immediately made a bird, emaline, out of my favorite piece- large roses on white satin. There was only a little bit but I hope I can squeeze one more bird out of it.
*shop update* It’s happening but not this week as planned. Sorry. I took on a last minute project so it got bumped yet again. I am giving a firm date and time though, the shop will update at noon on Tuesday the 6th. For sure.
evidence of bird making
And a flea market report: we had a warmer day on Sunday in Brooklyn so there was a little flea market action. I got this little sewing apron, cutest apron ever maybe.
There’s been lots of bird making going on. Here’s a little box-o-birds in progress.
They’re headed for various destinations, several are headed for my shop. The update will happen on Friday or Saturday and I’ll put a notice on the blog when it’s up. I’m still in the weeds, bird wise, but in the future I’m going to try to do at least little updates regularly.
tinsel trading
I stopped at Tinsel Trading yesterday for some cake topper things. I got so overwhelmed by the magnificence of the place and the extraordinary selection of extraordinary things they have I ended up leaving with a fraction of what I needed. I did get some little vintage millinery flowers and peachy glass glitter and inspiration for new things to make.
isabelle
Isabelle is made from orange silk velvet so old it was almost impossible to sew. I’m not sure where she’s headed yet; I’m working on cake toppers and she might end up a bride. I’m making one for the Valentine’s window at Johnson along with some other Valentiney birds. We’re going to put it up the end of this week. Christmas got so busy I never really properly photographed the Christmas window. I took a few pictures but wasn’t crazy about any of them. There was lots and lots of paper mache including this cruet:
When I bring it all back here I’m going to photograph and post some of the other things.
every day this week
I’ve been a big blog slacker; gotten completely out of the routine of posting. To whip myself back into shape I’m promising a post every day this week. The long overdue shop update will happen this week as well.
new birds
I’ve been making new birds.
These guys are on a little field trip at the moment but later this week they’ll be in the shop.
I’ve got good friends
I do, and they really showed up for me on Saturday for THE GIFT on grand. I’ve been working my ass off and had come pretty much unglued by Saturday morning but my amazing pit crew put the whole thing together. So thanks, to each and every one of you, I would have been lost without you. I’m still kinda unglued from the effort of the last couple weeks and my computer is being all slow and weird too so everything is taking me forever including updating my shop. I finally got it done and there are a few new birds there now.
The show on Saturday was great. It was my first time doing anything like that and I wasn’t sure what to expect but it went really well and I learned a lot. Thanks to everybody who came by to say hi and to Sodafine for putting it together.
I’ve been working on wedding cake toppers. The Bride and groom birds in the photo are gone but I should have some new things available by February .
The ship above is my newest “The Fortitude”. I’m going to take and post my customary too many pictures tomorrow.
*Note on the photo below*
That’s the Christmas tree at Grand Army Plaza here in Park Slope.
I’m late
Sorry, I’m running late on my shop update. The new birds will be up at 2 pm.
shop update
I’m going to put a few new things, including lydia (below) in the shop tomorow at noon.
P.S.
If I owe you email sorry, I’m still kind of scrambling but I promise to get back to you by Wednesday.
