The Sewing Box: Business card makeover
http://jillscarson.blogspot.com/2012/08/business-card-makeover.html
Thursday, August 16, 2012. I have a confession to make. I have boring business cards. Plain, boring business cards. Nothing to write home about, right? A little bit of stitching, a few bright buttons and they're a little more me. I still intend to come up with new cards (which will most likely feature the fabric peacock feathers), but these will do for now. For now I'm off to enjoy the gorgeous weather and listen to my neighbor practice (classical singing). Perhaps a wolf update soon?

http://jillscarson.blogspot.com/2012/08/its-been-six-months_15.html
Wednesday, August 15, 2012. It's been six months. Six months of waiting and whining and putting things off. Six months of annoyances, distractions and procrastinating. And I promise I won't be gone this long again. Here's the elusive whale piece. I don't know why it took me so long to finish. It just kind of sat there, patiently waiting for the final stitches. I have more half completed projects that I'm working on. They'll be up as soon as I can get around to it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Sewing Box: May 2010
http://jillscarson.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Once I get settled in somewhere, I'll start posting as I create. Unfortunately, everything is in boxes and I have no idea where anything is. By the end of the wee. K I hope to be back into some sort of schedule. For now I'm going to post a little of what I've done. Judy Garland for a distorted portrait assignment. A hooting owl for one of my promocards. And a sleepy fox for a series of Russian folktales. Forever and always,. Wednesday, May 12, 2010. Monday, May 10, 2010. Lubin Hous...

The Sewing Box: An Update!
http://jillscarson.blogspot.com/2013/03/an-update.html
Saturday, March 2, 2013. Life is funny, plain and simple. I could go on spurting cliches and idioms, but I'll refrain. Lots of changes (hence the lack of updates), and more to come. I plan on posting some small back-logged projects. Fall brought quite a bit of crafting. Actually, that's an understatement. I apologize for the poor lighting and the sheep pillow case.haha. In order to get these to look as authentic as possible, I had to complete the following steps:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Sewing Box: Adventures in sewing...machines.
http://jillscarson.blogspot.com/2012/02/adventures-in-sewingmachines.html
Monday, February 6, 2012. Adventures in sewing.machines. I'd like to call the above "Quest for the Gray Fabric". It didn't turn out so well, but at least it forced me to organize. I've upgraded from a large basket of "good fabric" and a trunk full of miscellaneous scraps, to storage drawers of good fabric and. a trunk full of scraps. Baby steps, I say.

The Sewing Box: April 2010
http://jillscarson.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 24, 2010. So this what happens on a sunny Friday afternoon in Syracuse. After a couple hours of cutting, tying about a hundred little bows, and a few hot glue burns I have 75 perfect little swatches. Perhaps I'm somewhat of a masochist. Lovely. Oh well, I think I'm taking tomorrow off to rest and then it's back to work. Open portfolio day is Wednesday and there's still much to do. But for now I say adieu! Wednesday, April 21, 2010. Giving this another shot. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Sewing Box: June 2010
http://jillscarson.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Rainy days and Tuesday always get me down? The unreliability of the weather always irks me. Here in Syracuse it goes from being 90 and absolutely gorgeous to humid, rainy and overall icky in the matter of minutes. Or a day or so. Nothing we can do. About that though other than complain and I'm the queen of that. I've been playing around with embroidery techniques on old linen and it's actually really therapeutic. I like placing stitch after stitch after stitch. I. Well hi there,.

The Sewing Box: January 2012

Monday, January 30, 2012. Not much else is new. I continue to doubt that it's actually winter. It's been so mild here and GREEN. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I will say this, I'd rather it snow now than in April. We'll see what happens. Friday, January 20, 2012. I recreated the e e cummings piece as a commission for a friend. I promise it looks better in person. Or, well it's growing on me. I have a few other things in the works so hopefully more updates soon. Until then. Saturday, January 14, 2012.

The Sewing Box: December 2011
http://jillscarson.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 20, 2011. I find that since I spend most of my day typing, by the time I'm home my hands are pretty much shot. In order to rectify this, I've taken up embroidery again. Something to keep me busy/keep my hands from falling off. Perhaps I'll do a series of quotes. Or owls. I still love owls. The below is a belated baby gift/Christmas gift for my cousin. Learning how to weave, becoming more acquainted with my sewing machine and who knows what else. Friday, December 9, 2011.
