Sweeney Todd Apron and Totes...
I'm as busy as a bee, in a field of daises today, friends!
I just wanted to say hi and give a peek at the Tea with Mrs Lovett Apron inspired by Sweeney Todd.
Then I am off to Knit & Bitch at Picasso's Moon. I made up a few tote bags for Deb's approval from vintage sheets. I am not sure of the size she may want but these are large.
Ok, I'll stop teasing!
There is a Pushing up Daisies one...
and a rose garden one.
Here is the corset in progress
and here is the apron part...I really need a clothesline or a model!!!
Here's one pocket
and here's the other!
***
I am off to the bookstore before the Knit&B to see if they have any copies of The Cloth, Paper, Scissors Studio Issue (with my art apron article inside!!:) )
Check the lower right sidebar of my Blog- I added a link (to the table of contents) and be sure to get your copy soon- they are a limited release. You can also buy them online at CPS. Here is a little extra online special tips from me at the CPS website for creating unique art aprons yourself. I encourage you to take a look around and leave feedback about your opinion at CPS/Quilting Arts about the Studio Issue. There is also a bunch new Challenges listed on the Editors Blog here.
Yeehaw!
Have a Happy day!
Love & Stitches, Kim
I like the daffodils so much!

Kim, I love the totes. I think that the size is good for yarn--needles would fit inside ,too, without poking out. The layered handles really sparlkle.
I'm getting this magazine today, or else. Or else what, I don't know, but it sounds good doesn't it?
Have fun, sweetie!

The totes are great!! I did not realize that you were in Sarasota! My sister lives in Bradenton, right next door. :) I will have to check out that yarn shop the next time I am down there. It's just a hop, skip and a jump away!

I just saw the 1998 Ben Kingsley version of Sweeny Todd, I am now ready to see Johnny Depp in that role...

Gawd, I love your stuff!! That Sweeney Todd apron is the bomb.

I've been so sidetracked with car probs that I forgot to check in the wee hours to see if you'd gotten your Sweeny Todd "series" finished and now LOOK AT ALL OF IT!!!!!! Killer stuff, Miss Marvelous!!! And I am off as soon as I put enough make-up on, so as not to scare the children working in Border's, to buy the new Cloth,Paper, Scissors with the STAR of the WEEK, CALAMITY KIM!!!!!!
You's no calamity....You's swell.
xoxo
K CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love, love love that corset! Good portrayal of the movie (just saw it finally!) I was lucky to find the last copy of Studios at Borders last weekend, so they are going fast.
