At the sewing table

My latest and trendy headbands in my Etsy shop.  I have an amazing collection of vintage fabric that I have decided to finally cut into for new products.  After much persuasion from my daughter, I started making headbands.  A rather simple task at the sewing table but a unique trendy accessory for my daughter and my Etsy shop.

Extra Wide Turban $20

Batik Headband $18

A recent review from an Etsy client:

Boho Headband. Vintage Batik fabric. Black and White. Lattice design.

Proud Mama

My daughter is currently in art school woking many hours into each night on projects.  As a proud Mama, I wanted to share some of her latest work in sculpture class.


                  

This is the cast for the sculpture.

The finished sculpture.  "Life" 

I love her self portrait and sense of humor! I'm begging her for this piece.  It's a huge piece and I have the perfect space for it in my home. : )

Welcome to my blog

   Welcome to my handcrafted life and blog, fiber bungalow.  I have wanted to produce a blog for some time now, finding the time has not been easy with three children going in different directions.  School is now back in session and voila, a little time craved out of the day for me!  

  My blog will be many things; how to's, advice & tips, my latest work, time in the studio with me and my etsy shop.  I work in many different mediums.  My current project is a mixed media piece which I will post soon.  I cannot wait to get started!
