Trying the Unexpected!

As we meander a Path of Positivity, we are challenging you to Embrace The Unexpected. Of course, you can share anything positive you like, the theme is always optional.

Remember, you may share any sort of artistic medium over at PoP:  writing, cards, journals, scrapbooking, painting, sewing, baking, needle crafts, etc as long as it is positive.  The theme is always optional.  

This month we are creating something unexpected...you know, make something you wouldn't normally create!  

Ok, I NEVER make bookmarks and I NEVER make in bulk!  So, this is unexpected for me to make 60 bookmarks, but here they are!   

One of the teachers at school requested some notes, cards, words of encouragement for the 3rd graders taking the IRead test this month.  I thought it would be fun to give each one a bookmark.

Anything Goes...but no cards!

Time for a new challenge at The Outlawz Anything Goes in a Card Free Zone and the optional theme is... Anything Goes!  

I have chosen to go with a bedding ensemble for a 14 1/2 inch doll.  

I started with a foam mattress and pillow; the foam was cut from packaging.  I sewed a pillow case for the pillow.  For the mattress, I simply wrapped and fabric glued the fabric around the foam as if I were wrapping a gift.  

The sheet is white fabric with all sides machine hemmed.  

The comforter is double-sided:  white felt/heart motif cotton with lace. 

 Material List:

3-D Printed Bed Frame and Dresser ( I take no credit for this part!)

Heart Fabric from Stash

White Fabric from Stash

Lace from Stash

Thread from Stash

Foam from Packaging for pillow and mattress
