Spontaneity

I went over to Maria yesterday for a fun day together - our first meet up for almost three weeks. I have a few bits and pieces on the go and couldn't decide what to take with me, so I took some knitting as I knew we would have loads to chat about and catch up on - not least, discussing my son's recent wedding! Anyway, once there, Maria showed me some pieces of work she had developed after watching a recent workshop underway at our Guild (which I missed because I was at a Wedding!!)

It involved playing with paper - so, after some expert tuition from my friend and her generosity of allowing me to use anything from her stash I started this piece at her place and have finished it here at home today!! Hopefully, she will soon post about her pieces.

New Year New Start

Its time to start again for the New Year.

I needed to create something !

This is the start of a piece of work inspired by my friend Angie Hughes who is just amazing. As my needle case is slowly falling apart and no where near big enough, it is my plan to create a holder for them plus extra space to tuck all my other bits and bobs that end up inside my needle case, so I have started out with velvet fabric and bondaweb and my collection of foils and sweetie wrappers! and had fun.

Today I shall be starting the machine embroidery which is the exciting part.

Watch this space for progress.
