Boxing Day 2014

hello everyone, I've been busy so not come on here I m afraid. I love Christmas. Love the cooking and the food and festivities.
Today is wind down day and eating left overs!
I have finally finished the top of the owl and pussycat cushion , so here it is I'm really pleased with it I love the colours.
I'm hopefully going to finish the cushion today nd put on my new bed!

Nearly xmas

Good morning everyone,
It's nearly Xmas! I'm off tomorrow and I really need to make a list of what jobs I need to do , I always like to make a fuss at Xmas . Even my doggies get a xmaS dinner with Turkey they love it!
I'm at the day job today and it's freezing here , and today is charity day where we wear a Xmas jumper so I'll be nice and warm!
I hope you all have a lovely day .

Blue black work

I have been busy attempting the black work themed peice as shown above , it is a bit abstract based on a Islamic tile from the 1700 . I did the design myself as usual and I am using goat leather on it where it's green leather and then I have put silver cord around that area to hightlight it.
I am hoping that it will be an interesting peice once done.

It's freezing cold here so I am staying in to stitch ! With my doggy on my knee and a cuppa by my side....perfect!

Hair do

Good morning all,
The weather is awful here......wet,windy and cold.
And I have a hair appointment ! I do love getting my hair done as they do it lovely.But I know that as soon as I walk outside the hair will be wrecked so I think a hat is needed!

Hope you all have a lovely day.

Cushion sample

Well I've managed to finish one project for the exhibition ....just another 12 to go ..
This cushion top is based on an old Islamic tile and I have used Trampunto quilting ( which is Italian quilting ) and beading and also normal English quilting. It's lovely and tactile and I am rather pleased with it.

Work area

Good morning all, well I'm sitting here with my cuppa and deciding what to do today .... It's freezing cold so it won't involve going out! I do need to tidy my lampwork and jewellery area as I am a messy worker so I think that's my first job! And I promised hubby a cake.......

This is my messy area! It does need a tidy up doesn't it lol

First craft fair.

Well what a day I had yesterday ...I was shattered so much work to set up and get ready . It was worth it though I had lots of interest in my stuff and so many compliments on my work which was nice.
Here a a picture of me set up just before opening.

I'm having easy day today relaxing at home thank goodness.....so tired. Doggies happy as I'm here with them! I'll be sewing for a while I think so having a rest from jewellery for now.

Shattered

Well I'm shattered! I've been making beads and jewellery all day and I'm so tired! I'm going to finish them all off tommo but bed for me now I think!
Good night all.

New shapes lampwork beads

Good morning all,
Well yesterday I was very busy making some new beads,
They are a new shape and I love them! I think they'll be popular on my stall so I'll be busy tomorrow making more I think. I want to keep a lot of them but I can'tLOL I need to sell them that's the whole point of doing the craft fair at B rent wood,
Here they are anyway I'll be making them into jewellry tommo I think.

I especially love the turquoise one so if it's left after Sunday Ill be having that one! I can do another one I suppose!

Quilted phone case

Good morning all.
I've invested in a new phone recently which has a lovely big screen, and is really easy to use however when I asked in shop about a case the one for my new phone cost £30 which is about $45 !
So as I refuse to pay that for a case I came home and made my own quilted one which is actually more padded! Here it is I've just used up some off cuts I had so it's not actually cost me anything!
I'm making them for people as well for £5 for charity of Freddy who's my freinds little boy who's not well and needs physio after his op to walk.
So here's the picture of my case.
