Creativitity Has Been On Hold ....

A holiday head cold can really wipe a person out. We have been sick and stuffed up for about 2 weeks. I spoke some about it on my farm blog. I am just glad we are on the mend now. I am hoping this week to get over to mom's and work on our sewing and quilting projects.

I did a few little 3D creative projects just prior to getting sick.There is one I would like to make this summer into a real wood sign. I have it pictured above. I found that cute little rooster online. It was a sewing project.I had to redraw his lines and I added one tail feather and adjusted their placement. I created the sun from scratch and came up with the saying. What else would a rooster be saying to us when the sun is rising high in the sky? This little proud fellow I felt was saying just that 'Rise n Shine'!! :D

I will be looking for some old barn wood or pine boards, age them a bit , paint, and add chains for hanging. This project does not have a definitive size. I think it can be made into whatever size a person wants. The pictures and sayings are easily adjustable.

I also did up Jim's hanging quilt pattern into a 3D version.It may not look exactly like this when finished but close enough. I really like it! It will have loops and a dowel through those to hang up the quilt. :) I have also seen the metal hangers for quilts also, which is a another idea for hanging.


Happy DIY and crafting!
