Another fairly lazy day for me today. I did some laundry and washed the sheets that I intend to use to make a dust ruffle and a duvet cover. However, after a brief shopping trip out in the muck, I was very cranky and not in the mood to fight with my sewing machine. (My sewing machine and I are not really friends yet. I still haven’t figured out all of her quirks, and she’s not very forgiving of my lack of skill, that bitch). So I read a book for a couple of hours, watched me some Sense and Sensibility, and finally decided to get off my ass and make something around 10 tonight. I didn’t want to get into anything big, so I decided to try some easy paper-cutting. I used a drawing out of one of my Dover Chinese pattern books (love Dover!), an exacto knife, and some cardstock. I backed it with some dark blue scrapbooking paper, and then put it in a little frame I had lying around. I might try making another one of these this month, as it was pretty easy to do, and I think I can do better next time. I might also try embellishing this one a bit with some glitter or possibly some very small rhinestones. What do you guys think?
