Good morning to all the wonderful people from
WOYWW and all other visitors. I am afraid there really is absolutely nothing on m y desk this morning. School started yesterday for the last term of the year and I cleaned my desk after my last little bit of holiday crafting. So no desk this morning, but I am showing you the fruits of my labour. There they all are, sewing completed. Even though I was complaining about having to sew these costumes (can you tell they are doing the Jailhouse Rock?) I am actually quite proud of myself now that they are done. I am sure the professionals out there will be able to point out some mistakes, but did you see the stripes actually match? Very impressive, don't you think?
I finally used my new Tilda stamp too. The dress form is from a local company Fab Scraps. Lace is from my mothers stash, flowers and ribbon from my stash and she was coloured with my beloved Copics, of course.
I went to Hobby ex this last week and although I was a bit disappointed, I did manage to buy a new stamp and embossing combo from Sizzix. AND..... I blame it on all of you, I broke down and bought some distress inks! The jury is still out on that one. I prefer the one I coloured with my Copics, but it was quite fun to do.
Well, thats all folks. Gotta run, school starts soon and I have to pick up the grandies and do the school run. Have a great day and a fantastic week.
Those cards are beautiful! I especially like the last one. Congratulations on that mammoth sewing effort! Happy WOYWW! RosA # 35
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, your colouring is excellent. But I must say it is the sewing that caught my eye. That is impressive and I am sure nobody would ever find fault with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for following me.
Hugs, Neet xx 17
Gorgeous cards. I am a DI girl so that is my favourite.

Wow, those Jailhouse Rock costumes are superb and yes, I can see that the stripes match up - job well done, I would say. Love your beautiful cards and I do like the DI one too, once you get used to the DIs I bet you never look back! Happy WOYWW, Anne x #82
ReplyDeleteH Tertia,
ReplyDeleteA job well done on the sewing front I'm impressed...I hate sewing!! I think I prefer the card with the copics to it's really fresh and clean. Love the new stamp and emboss wouldn't mind one myself.

Congrats on getting those jailhouse costumes completed, and matching stripes eh? Get you, you clever thing. It always seems funny when you talk about finishing the school year as here in the UK the school year has just begun. Even when we don't go anymore it still dominates our lives it seems:) Hugs, Buttons #70
ReplyDeleteI've been sewing too Tertia, I think you have done well as the stripes would have made my eyes go funny stitching them! Lovely cards especially the Tilda one. BJ #102 a bit behind today.........sigh........

Tertia, when I say I have nothing going on, it's like you hear the crickets. But you my darling sure have a lot to share when you "don't have anything going on." Hee hee... I wish I could sew. One thing still on my list of things to do. Love the cards. I am a Copic lover too so enjoyed seeing your Tilda card. I also really love both the from the heart cards. I think you have already mastered the distress inks too!!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed week.
Come play at my desk if you can.

Gosh, that's an awful lot of stripes to match. I think I'd get dizzy, lol.
ReplyDeleteLove your cards, especially the one with the little girl. Very sweet!
Happy Woyww,

I'm well impressed with those costumes and there'll be many an inmate who would prefer your outfits to theirs! Lovely cards too but I do wish Tilda has a nice little smile... I always add one whenever I see her in a magazine.
ReplyDeletethanks for popping in on me!
Love Jo x
Gorgeous cards! And you did a wonderful job matching up the lines in those costumes. I try to avoid using things that I have to match up. Dani#16
ReplyDeleteWow Tertiary you have been very busy. Love the outfits and your Tilda card is gorgeous.

Your sewing is awesome. I could never get stripes to match. Your cards are pretty awesome too! I love all three of them. Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteyour sewing and your cards are awesome! I have to admit, when I saw the costumes, I too thought of jail!! LOL!!
ReplyDeletexxDaniella#9
Lovely cards, and the costumes turned out great! Stripes, ugh, I refuse to even try to sew stripes, so these look fabulous to me!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!

You are alwasy so busy! The costumes are just fab, they will be the best dressed jailbirds! Loving your copic colouring as usual, but have to confess that I really really like the DI card too,how about combining the two techniques? Nothing like doubling your work!!
ReplyDeleteHi Tertia thanks for popping by. I think I am going to rename my cupboard Never Ever Corner! Your costumes are fab. I love that scene from Jail House Rock. I think you may not get your costumes back though as they look just like the onesies that my son says are in fashion at the moment - you know the things rompers for bigger folk! Good luck with the performance. Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 5
ReplyDeleteHi tertia, some lovely cards there, and those costumes are a triumph. I can remember my dad taking me to the cinema to see jailhouse rock when i was very little. I was one of elvis's biggest fans even though i was a little titch x
ReplyDeleteOh my, you have been busy!
ReplyDeleteI would be proud of myself too!
Thanks for the advice about your sisters surgery success. I plan to convelesce just like your sister. We get a one day course here on how to recover gradually. That was why i redid my room.
Of course i won't be doing anything in the room the first couple of weeks!
I have spent the last 6 months totally immersed in my DH's recovery from a heart attack and the mountain of paperwork to get him paid for his time off.
He is recovered now and returned to work on Monday. It is my turn for my family to help me!!! lol
Forgot to mention that all 3 cards are just lovely...I like the copic and the distress marker version!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant match up on the costumes give yourself a gold star for that creations. Oh and you can blame your spending on me anytime you like, just say "But Eliza made me do it, really she did" Hey that is how I got my new tape gun. I do love those cards of yours, excellent.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

Oh these are both gorgeous. I do not own any alcohol inks either...will be watching your progress LOL!
ReplyDeleteYour outfits turned out so cute!!!!!! And I love little Tilda and your other cards! I'm like you, I just jumped on the Distress Ink bandwagon a couple of months ago when I had the chance to get a bunch of them for free, but I'm not sure how I'm feeling about them. Maybe I just haven't learned how to use them yet?
