magpie and cake: things I want to make and do

>> Monday, March 13, 2006 – clothing, decorate, lindsay_project, organize, quilt

quilt(s) - finish the one I have on the go, start another (larger) one... in pinks and oranges

a blackboard - one that I can hang on our diningroom wall, hopefully also that is framed (for example, this one)

coin purses - with silkscreening, and with elison cutouts

t-shirts - out of old shirts, whether it's silkscreened or frankenstein shirts or both

paint - my room (whether I stay in this one or take the other)... but what colour?

pillows - recover! But actually measuring this time, so the covers will fit.

house organization - it's getting kind of crowded and messy in here

Suggestions? Tips? Pointers?

Lindsay – (March 13, 2006): For the blackboard, you could use blackboard paint and then make it any size you want - or have a blackboard on the side of a table or something. I have no idea how expensive paint is versus the actual blackboard. That would be fun to have though, especially in the kitchen or in a workshop.

What are elison cutouts?

lucy – (March 14, 2006): i love my blackboard. i originally wanted to make my own (using the fancy paint) but i found this one on sale at staples' because the frame was damaged. nothing i couldn't fix at home though.

i just finished making a dozen or so silckscreened pouches. they are fast and easy to make. i think i will use old felted sweaters next time for a change (this last batch was all silk)

and, like you, i really need to finish my quilt!
Lindsay – (March 15, 2006): Lucy, your house looks so great.

Have you posted pics of your silkscreened pouches on your blog?
lucy – (March 16, 2006): not yet...i just never got around to taking any photos. i have to put that on my to do list...
