Razzy and Chloe were put in "time out" the other day. They were very naughty bunnies. Even though they have more toys than most children, they decided it would be more fun to knock the trash can over and shred the paper bag inside. That is of course after they flung all the paper and fabric schnibbles all over the floor! Trash Pickers!! Thank goodness that the trash up in Bunnyville is still "bunny proof!" Heathen's! I have to laugh though, Razzy looks like he's saying "she did it." While Chloe looks like she's saying "tattletale."
The other day I gave you a sneak peak of my latest design. It's called "Roses for Laura." (Laura is my oldest niece). Here's the finished piece. I really love how it turned out and it has already sold. It was so fun to design, which brings me to this weeks post. "From Doodle to Design" I'm one of those people that loves to doodle. I always seem to be doodling something, whether it's a picture, a quote or just words. Something always sparks my imagination and I will "doodle" it. I doodle when I'm nervous, bored, and when I'm on overload. Somehow doodling always makes me feel good.
I carry around a "doodle book" in my purse so I'm always ready. Over the years I have done lots of doodling and I wish I still had some of those ideas, but they were on scraps of paper that got lost over time. I'm in the process of working on some patterns and a quilting book that I have wanted to do for years and now finally have the time to think and do all the legal mumbo jumbo that goes with it. Doodling is part of the process. I will be carrying ready made "Doodle Books" on my site for those that don't sew, but like to well... doodle or jot things down, as well as, patterns on how to make your very own "Doodle Book."
Here's one. There will be more very soon.
Check back with me on Wednesday if you get a minute. Until then, have a fun week!

My goodness Shell, your talents are never ending! I love the applique, quilting, and sewing work you are putting together these days. Love the Roses for Laura and the new Doodle Books! That's what I've been using the sweet personal notebook you made me for ... keeping all my ideas in one special place! I'm sure to need another very soon!
But.. but.. they look so innocent!! Maybe the trash can toppled on its own and the paper bag ripped itself apart :p
Love your latest design, the colours are very pleasant. And great idea about a doodle book!
Love 'Roses for Laura' it is beautiful and your covered doodle book, just love them. Thank you for sharing

Hi Shell,, those rascly rabbits!!! lol Too funny. I love your Roses for Laura piece. That will be one lucky recipient!
I am a doodler from way back. My deskpad calendar has a doodle drawing in each square. It keeps my co-workers occupied to see what I am doing next. LOL
Happy Creating.. hugs, gail
Hello Shell!
I followed you from your comment over at Bunny Rose Cottage. I love your home! It is so beautiful. (In the house we lived in previously, the cabinet guy thought I was weird wanting glass in my cabinets!) How restful you place looks. And what nice bunnies you have! My daughter wants a bunny, but I am sort of afraid it might scratch her. What a creative lady you are. I am going to put you on my links.

Hey Michelle!
I have a doodle book too. I carry it with me always and put all of my ideas in there. Your new pieces are beautiful. Come on over for a Creative Inspiration Giveaway. I would love to link to your beautiful creative studio if you don't mind!
LOL now little bunny nibbles surely can't do much damage.
Love your doodle books...great idea.

Hi Shell, I am in Love with that picture! What a very lucky recipient!! I really do admire your craft. I think a doodle book may hit my purse in the near future! Especially a pretty one then maybe DH will keep his paws off of it! Razzy and Chloe are just so loved and innocent looking.
