Happy Mother's Day! A Fiber Art Update.

From awhile ago: My Mom and I at the traveling exhibition of Disney’s Heroes and Villains Costumes

Several months ago I came across a book called “The Ultimate Tissue Topper Collection” at a used bookstore near my house. I was very excited to purchase this book because it seemed like a very good crossover to my burgeoning cross stitch skills. Something I could do in the evenings since cross stitch can be a little intense on the eyeballs at night. I also have 3 million pounds of yarn in my art supplies stash, so something to do with that. Couple this book with the large plastic canvas stash I found at a store, it was kismet. I’m to make these tissue toppers.

So making them I have been.

Design: “New Mexico” from “The Ultimate Tissue Topper Collection” by Sara Denny, January 2023

I will say I’m not a huge fan of many of the color choices from this book, so I’ve been making up my own color schemes to use for these designs. This Tisse Box is for my own mother and she loves a SouthWestern Design.

Peanuts Tissue Box Topper from Vintage Leisure Arts Pattern from Etsy Seller: StarShopPatterns. By Sara Denny, March 2023.

This is another Mother’s Day gift for a special lady in my life who loves the Peanuts Characters, I happened to find this pattern while perusing Etsy. There are 4 more patterns I didn’t use of other characters (namely Snoopy) so I may revisit this pattern in the future.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms out there! But especially mine!
