Yes I can! I can make things that don't take forever and then some..This piece is quite small yet I haven't skimped on the embellishment. It has ruched muslin with French knots. It has appliqued silk with vintage embroidery transfers. It has cotton cloth with utility stitches. It has a scrap of vintage domestic cloth, folded and embroidered with knots and cross stitch...it's lovely!!
It is now residing here and meanwhile I am working on another piece. I am having so much fun. It's amazing what you can achieve by merely ruching a piece of muslin and letting your fingers go mad! The next one won't be the same, oh no! It will have ruched muslin as the starting point but if I say I need to make a tiny pocket? Yes it will be completely different.

love the blue. Glad to hear you're having fun
These are all fabulous! I will have to come back when I'm less busy and study them. So creative!
What treasures you have made here Karen love-love-love them.
Karen, this is great! I have been fooling around with a tiny project the last few nights that is for a groom's best man to keep the ring in before handing it over during the ceremony. Will share that with you soon! Have to pull the dreaded sewing machine out. I am in love with the mix of textures you chose. Great artistry!
the second picture made me think of boats floating on waves of water. lovely.
Karen, this is perfect! It has an incredible feel! It sounds like you are on a roll and loving it. Congratulations, Happy Stitching!
Your hamd are..magic!
Nice week-end!

Letting your hands go sane, I think, rather than mad... it's totally lovely.
It is indeed lovely!, I like the little touches of blue these is something very simple, fresh and lovely about muslin I love what you have created here.
Two words only this time. Sea scape.
as usual, Karen, your enthusiasm shines through.
oh, my! Love the little, love the blue, love the applique parts too!
I love it!
It does seem that you are having fun - I'm so glad!
It IS lovely and the faded willow-pattern blue on white patches set off the textured ruching perfectly!
After four days at the beach with the most gorgeous blue skies I am even more a blue girl than I ever was before.
Looking forward on how you will continue this serie of 'small' pieces.
I love the tiny hints of blue on this piece. Subtle and cute.
