Artwork
Autumn
Sunset
I was saving cereal boxes to make cardboard Christmas houses. I had to use some of them
to paint my landscapes. I feel inspired to make these fall paintings.
How do you feel on fall days ?

Fall decor
My son found some pine cones outside and gave them to me as a gift. And he really likes when I
take care of his gifts. I put them on the window as a simple decor.

Halloween crafts
Creepy bookmarks.
You can make these spooktacular bookmarks for you or your kids.I am sure you have all the
materials at home like empty cardboard boxes ,markers,tape and scissors.
Here are the instructions :
First,make a easy drawing of ugly fingers with long nails. Copy it to a piece of tissue paper and
transfer it to the cardboard box.
Trace fine lines and start to color the fingers.
I like black sharpie, and I like to make my outlines dark.
Use a ruler to make the shape of the bookmark and cut off around the fingers image.
Attach them behind with a little piece of tape to the bookmark .
You are done !! You have a boo tiful bookmark.
You can be versatile and try some spooky hands.
Zombie teeth bookmark.
Spooky hand
Halloween bookmarks. Do you like them??

Beading
My kids are back to school, and I miss them. My boy was playing and drawing near my
feet while I was sewing my crafts. My daughter beside me looking at pictures on Instagram.
I am making jewelry and painting. But I need to sew. I need to make a lot of things.
My ideas are in my sketch book. I need to finish my projects.

Artwork by Cris
Clown-monster
Angry bird
My son, 6, never gets tired of creating new stuff. Look at this beautiful artwork on this piece of wood.
They are small pieces of wood that were leftover from the construction of our closets.
It does not shock me ,his amazing creativeness.
But I am always stunned to see it.

Grave of the fireflies
My kids and I were crying with this Japanese movie.The story is really sad and there is not
happy ending. We appreciate the good hand drawings.
My son can notice the difference between computerized and handmade drawings.
When Franklin started to be a computerized character my son stopped watching it.
Japanese movies are awesome, that's why we don't stop watching them.
Another amazing movie is The secret world of Arriety.

Projects
I have many unfinished projects...and I am still having a lot of ideas for the coming seasons.
My sewing machine is not working very well. I am frustrated.
For now...I am comparing good machines for when I am ready to buy my own.
I would like a vintage heavy duty electronic sewing machine.What do you recommend for me?

Tags
Since all chargers are black and look alike,I have decided to make muslin tags for them.
That way we can easily tell them apart by reading their tags.
You can make it with just a scrap of muslin and your pinking shears, and
you are done.
