Kirsten's choker progressing - it's now wearable without being held on, and all it needs is a last coat of antiquing on the gold plated parts at the back and the cameo stuck on (atm the glue for the chain embellishment is drying). Oh, and I need to add just one more gold crimp cover at the back because I managed to twist one.. and file down the sharp bits of the central piece. Estimated time of being finished: Tomorrow!!
It isn't actually wonky like that, but Kirsten's neck is larger than mine and she also intends to wear it over rollneck jumpers.
I say mostly because I'm going to add a border to it, but the blocks have been all sewn together. I'm delighted with the layout and the overall look and blending of all the pastels and jewel like colors and the beautiful pictures in the centers of the blocks.
This is another development of the garden. The intention is to raise the height of the step to match the others and extend it into the garden. Hopefully I'll be able to mosaic it afterwards :-)
It's been dug out. Just needs some shuttering adding and then can start adding the concrete.
Just a quick glimpse at some of the things I'm working with at the moment. A very small glimpse, there's a much bigger box underneath!!!
Baked Goods Swap (Swap Shoppe Yahoo Group) - I am part of an online swap group for miniature items. This month I participated in the baked goods swap. Here I'm making the dough for the cake (way too yellow right now!!!).
I still need to finish the back of the banner, do a bit of touch up and add some additional detail to the base... but this is otherwise finished.
OK, so I've got one-fourth done. It was actually kind of fun! I'm just using some random scraps, some Parisville, some AMH, some Heather Bailey, so it's going to be a serious mish-mash of fabrics, but I'm just trying it out for my bee peeps - I think this is what I'm going to ask for next month in the {Sew} Beautiful Bee...now if only I could decide on some fabrics...
a decent etching (but not good enough). lines were 1pt in Illustrator which was too small for this process.

The Color seemed to cling into paper really well. Unfortunately the result became muddy, my conclusion is too much yellow/blue left in the paper, giving overall Greenish / yellow cast. But it´s a start for future experiments :0)
I don't like the black pieces around the outside. I'm going to have to do squares I think which is going to be a total pain to cut.
....of the top secret project I am working on.
A very special friend has a birthday coming up soon, and she deserves a special little stitchy treat. :)
