August Creative Troupe Round Up

After checking out our Creative Troupe’s blogs this month, I can’t help but think about getting a jumpstart on Christmas! Here are just some of the really fun projects I found to help you jumpstart your own creative muse.

Stefanie Girard is a whiz with a crochet needle and sewing machine, don’t you think? This little kitty is named Jane Doe and she loves to be in the kitchen.

In her post, Stefanie shares the online tutorial for creating the crocheted cat, and the book that inspired the apron. Get a headstart on your Christmas shopping by creating this pet for the cat lover in your life.

Metal embossing anyone? Marie Johansen shares her struggles with creating an embossed metal accent along with her recommendations for three books that are sure to help you create something just as lovely.

Did Disney’s latest rendition of Alice In Wonderland spark a new interest (or rekindle an old one) in the beloved fairytale? Then you are going to fall in love with Melinda Cornish’s latest creation! She created an absolutely stunning apron with vibrant colors and whimsical fun—and it’s all based on the story of Alice in Wonderland.

Lorraine, of Love Of Collage, shares how you can create a cute gift by de-stashing your studio. This gorgeous wooden frame is created completely out of the stash she had on hand. And the image in the center? That’s her work, too! It’s a photo of her felted landscape.

Gabriella Delworth creates a Multi-colored Crystal Bib Necklace “on the cheap”! Not only is this necklace stunning and perfect for a night out on the town, but it is truly simple and quick to make! I can just see myself whipping up a dozen or so of these beauties for my long-distant friends and relatives this holiday season. What about you?

These are just a few of the amazing projects our Creative Troupe members have been creating.
