I can't resist, i have to show you a few photos from my work in progress collaboration project with one of my very creative and thoughtful friend, Pei Li. If you don't know Pei Li, you should drop by her blog and take a look around. She's quite a sweet lady. I always enjoy her lovely posts, which happen to be full of beautiful handmade goodies.
I'm slowly making progress on my first collaboration project and i'm having quite a bit of fun with it, though i do find making miniature strawberries out of felt to be somewhat stressful at times. For the record, these are the tinniest creations i ever made. Sooner or later the hunched shoulders are going to relax and i just keep telling myself to be easy-going about the whole process. So what if I have to unravel it a little. So far so good, though.
This collaboration project is inspiring and uplifting ~ going through ideas with another creative soul stirred up the crafty energy and reminded me that i really love to sew and always get a great deal of pleasure out of the entire process.
I'm staying close to home with plans of working, and of course, a bit of lounging.
More to come, friends. More. To. Come.
Hope you're well out there.
Have a nice weekend.
Love to you and yours.
Dear Jacqueline,
Those strawberries are beautiful!!! And I love those photos too, it's just awesome. I can't wait for the little tray to come alive with your ideas! This is so fun watching.
Will cotton fabric strawberries be any easier?
Have a great weekend, sweet friend!

Dearest sweet pei li, i am feeling over the moon knowing that you adore these little strawberries!!
I did some durability testing on both cotton and felt fabrics and the felt fabric seems to be definitely sturdy. Thanks so much lovely friend! Love to you!

Hi Jacqueline,
Those felted strawberries look delicious.And I understand how the tinier is a craft piece the harder it is to make. Lovely to see you flowing in the creative river!
Lots of love to you,
Eva

SO SWEET! They might be the tiniest thing you've ever made, but really when you think about it, all of your pieces have the tiniest little details. That's what I love about what you make -- the delightful details.
I can't wait to hear all about this collaboration :)
