Holiday pillow
Spooky tree!
Used some blue metallic organza I found at a thrift store, along with salvaged leather for this pillow. The tree I applied freehand. I think I gotta get some more feather trim- I thought it would look neat like this, but I think it just looks unfinished.
Stuffed toy
Satin pony? This guy is kind of a mess but I can't decide if he works or not. He's kinda cute i think... Probably didn't plan him out enough- I didn't plan him at all. Just sat down with some selvages and started sewing.
Decorated hat
Decorated hat. Thrift store trucker cap with woven bead "Eleanor". This Was my first big woven bead project, glad I figured out something to do with it. The pony is freehand beading.
Gloves!
First attempt, not too shabby for not even having a pair on hand for reference! Made this with some pink metallic knit from my fabric hoard. 
Toddler costume
I love how this turned out! I made it from an old table cloth and bits from my stash. 
Sweatshirt made into a jacket.
Decorated sweatshirt
I decided I wasn't a big fan of the flamingo shirt I posted before, so I did this instead. Woven beaded tennesse state flag on the front, white leather freehand appliqué stars on back.
Youth deco crew neck sweatshirt.
Insanity, pure and simple. This thrift store sweatshirt was totally reinvented with beads. Inspired by dream catchers.
Updates
Life got away from me for a bit, as life tends to do. I haven't stopped making things for the state fair though, just forgot about posting them here. I'll be better!
That toddler sweatshirt..
Toddler sweatshirt got an upgrade, with the addition of a ton of beads. So glad I revisited it!
