Seaweed

 The seaweed wreath is coming along quite well.

It is a little hard to see the detail in the pics but I am building it up with yarns and beads and anything else that comes to mind.

 When creating something like this I love to have lots of options available.

 

It is rather messy but it all goes back in the basket at the end of the session.

Spotlight End of Bolt Sale

Today I decided to take advantage of the Spotlight End of Bolt Sale.  30% off if you buy whatever is on the bolt. 

I am planning some curtains and cushions for our downstairs room: the room where I sew and work on creating and where I mind the twins.  

I am so pleased with my purchases as now I have a clear idea of the colour scheme of the room and can undertake the sewing in the winter.  Meantime the walls need painting


 As I was having a last look around I saw this Pellon Rainbowspun which I think is the same as Lutrador.  Anyway each pack has 10 sheets 60cm x 60cm for $8, which I think is irresistable value so I bought aqua, green and yellow.  Just for the stash.

  

needlebook

 At the recent exhibition at the Frankston Waterfront Festival I was asked to make a needlebook for a lady who loves pinks and lilacs.

 Fortunately we were able to discuss the fabrics and colours and these are the ones that took her fancy.

The fabrics are hand dyed by Tina Whitely.
 
 

 It is to be a small folder with some pellon for padding and some hand quilting and embroidery and beading.

The pages will be made from this pale green felt.

As well as this I am to make a matching scissor case too.

I do hope it pleases her.
