eXhibition is up

well  at last after two years of  preparation the exhibition is up ! iVe done a you tube video to give everyone an idea of how it looks. Such a hard day though I'm shattered now but it does look great.

Here it is.

Bird table

I made this recently from an old tea cup ad saucer. I thought it was a quirky idea to use up some old China.
The cup holds water as well ..and the birds love it.
I like to have things that are a bit different !

New website

I am in the process of doing a new web site which also has a blog with it. It's supposed to make life easier but it's costing me and I am struggling to get my head around the tech stuff.
So please be patient with me....

Wavy lines embroidered sample

Just completed this sample for my afternoon workshop next Saturday at Embroiderers guild.
It looks complex but it's not really as it just evolved as I embroidered, I'm liking the colour scheme and this sample is going on a book front to use as a note book.

Heidi my cavachon

I don't know if I've posted any recent photos of my bestie who is my cavachon puppy called Heidi she loves my work room(s)  . I think she likes the bits she can investigate into .
Here she is " helping" me .

Mixed media heart

 Just finished this heart , I used spray paint on it as well as normal paint and some gilding wax.

This is the workshop I'm doing on Saturday at craft arena in Essex ,UK .

Fabric bowl

 I have had a very productive weekend and I have managed t complete the fabric bowl that I started on Saturday at the workshop I ran. It was a messy business but the outcome is great and unusual.
I'm back at the day job today so it's nice to get my creative fix ! Here's the photos of the bowl I am hoping to do more soon.

Mixed media powertex workshop

Good morning.
I spent a lovely day yesterday with the "in stitches" ladies at Harlow , Essex in UK .
We made some lovely wall art and some bowls as well.
I had some lovely feedback as well from them, it was great to see how they were all so different.Heres a lady working on her piece.

This lady is making some clay buttons 

Simple evening bag

I made this simple bag for a workshop I am doing in March . I am quite pleased with the outcome as it was made up of trims that I had I'm my stash and it was a bit of a sample to try out the trims.
I think I will use it as it does hold a mobile phone, money and a lipstick with some keys. which is all a girl needs for a night out!

It's just a oblong piece of fabric with trims added ,then lined and then fold over in half.   Stitch up both sides. Then add the magnetic clasp and finish off the tops neatly. Then add a strap or chain for a handle. That's it done ! Hope you have fun if you try it.

Back to work

Well after being off ill from my day job for about three months I am returning today. I like my job so it's a happy day as I'll se all my workmates and catch up with everyone. I'm sure I've a lot to catch up on as it's an ever evolving role I do but I'm up for the challenge after recovering well from my MS attack.
Hope everyone has a good day . The only down side is I shall miss my little dog Heidi who has been my shadow for past three months.

great day

I have made this little sewing set for a workshop day in March. Is a great way to introduce people to their sewi g machine And it's a pretty useful accessory for the sewer.
I liked making it as well as its was fun.
Anyway must dash lots to do!
