I've had an utterly unproductive day but don't particularly care - Hannah back at school, Emily at a friend's house for the INSET day and Paul in the office meant I had the house to myself for the first time in too long. A bit of admin, a bit of online browsing, tonight some sewing.
I've added the squares to a glittery background and then backed it with fleece and I will be stitching over the squares to hold them down
I'm working on a new embroidery, it's on a lovely crisp linen tea towel.
It just needs a name, any suggestions?
Blogged 3 June 2010.
I decided to have a bit of fun and make a wacky handbag. This is the first stage.
I went to a scrummy shop in Much Wenlock ( Ippkin... www.ippkin.co.uk) and bought some Colinette yarn ( www.colinette.com) and a shell button in a wonderful deep yellow colour.
I then used a pair of 20 mm needles to losely knit a rectangle, which I will now weave with strips of knotted fabric and other strange things.
Watch this space!
Lots going on in the studio at the moment, none of which is any where near completion.
This shows you my desk this morning where I have decorated scraps of paper and fabric with various art mediums.The piece at the top on the right is one I made using the ideas of Anne Bagby. I collaged various lightweight paper on to a tissue backing and then overprinted and painted this.
These papers and fabric are destined to be chopped up and used in a variety of ways.
My current project. I'm just adding bits as I go along with minimal planning. Something I can do in front of the TV!
Preparing the canvas - at last. Months of research have led up to this moment. I'm almost scared to start
Mozaique was fascinated by the tree last night! The photo sucks, because I grabbed the closest camera which was my cell phone to make sure I wouldn't miss the shot. Real life scrapbooking! LOL

I was initally excited about stitching up this lady. Now I am mad at her. Perhaps it was the changes I made? Maybe I shouldn't have given her cleavage, or changed her head covering into hair? Maybe I need to shut up and just keep stitching until she looks nice.
