Over the Top Wearable Art with a Christmas Theme.
In the 1990's a Christmas Challenge motivated me to design a Bog Coat Shrug using Christmas Themed Fabrics, Patchwork, Beads, Baubles, Trinkets and Decorative Stitching.

The fun in this making was using a Grandma's Gingerbread Cookie Recipe Fabric. It is the pocket on the lower right front (as you look at the image above). What makes this very sweet, if you will pardon the pun, is that I actually have used the recipe to make Christmas Cookie Gifts for my neighbors. |
Today is Christmas 25 December 2018 and I am in Baja California, Mexico. It is raining off and on, Christmas Carols are playing, it is warm in my casa, I have 5 Christmas trees in various sizes, and Christmas is my favorite time of year. Celebrate!
Hola Viktorya! Nancy on the East side here... Jill of All Trades was my Blog signature....a few years ago. Your words always zoom right to my heart with sincerity, knowledge, positivity and encouragement. Thank you, my Baja/Wearable Art friend. XO
ReplyDeleteJill of All Trades - awesome blog name! It's a pleasure knowing you, Nancy, even if it is a virtual friendship, with hopes of course, for one day we will have an actual meet up. I've started an Arts and Crafts Group in La Mision. For our first meeting, there were six of us, three of whom brought their knitting/crochet with them, to work while we chatted to formulate plans of how to move forward with the group. Our next meeting is 10 Jan 2019! Cheers to you and Happy New Year.
