RAINY WEEKEND

This weekend has been cold and rainy most of the time.  Good for being inside and catching up with the housework.  
I haven't had much time to create but have made a start on some wavy weaving as described by Linda on her blog.  Mine has some metallic thread and variegated stitching to add to it.  I will finish it soon......




but I have also been playing with the new toy, the embellisher.  It is a lot of fun but I haven't tried to do anything serious yet.
I have lots of scraps and so I thought I would just try a strip of bits and pieces on a piece of silk.  It is looking ok and so I think I will cover it with tulle and free machine stitch over it.

The weaving is really good Dian. I like what you've done, and good to see you getting some more mileage out of that autumny toned fabric.......LOL......

Great to see you've had time to play on the new machine too.
