Silver crewel work

This is another crewel work piece  I've  done.  Not sure what I will do with it though, so  any  ideas would be great.

Crewel work diary cover

I was playing around  in my desk and found the design  I'd done ages ago of this flower...and I thought it leant itself to crewel  work which I haven't done for ages. So here it is and as it's me I had to bling it up a bit with beads abd gold. It's my 2016 diary cover . Maybe it will help me be more organised next year!"

Article in Magazine

Well how exciting one of my favourirte magazines 'Be Creative' has agreed (fingers x )to put in an article about the Chalk & cheese exhibition which we are doing next year called Parellell Pathways II based on our different religions. I'm really pleased and am so glad the other half of our partnership(Sandy) is good at writing and doing articles as I am hpoeless!
Its not until March next year but theres still a fair bit to do but we will be ready in time and so far we have secured three venues to exhibit in which is great. Ill post details of where and when its on next year.

Powertex workshop

I had a lovely weekend. On Saturday I introduced some ladies to the joy of Powertex which is a fabulous textile hardner, the ladies were very creative .
I did it at my local craft shop called Craft Arena in Billericay, Essex.
We had a fab day ....I had to leave my new puppy with Daddy though! Heidi was good though she needs entertaining sometimes!
She's very good at finding tiny items which are hidden in small places she's found some lovely buttons I'd forgot I had LOL
Here's the sample I made on Saturday which can be used on a book front. Also I made a couple of  small brooches as samples.

New puppy cavachon

good morning all, today I'd like to introduce you to my new companion called Heidi .shes a cavachon puppy and she's adorable. I couldn't be without a furry buddy and she fits the bill perfectly. She has such a lovely joyful personality . She's very cute my freind said she's way off the cute scale! She's already settling in well and following me and Miska the husky around the home and it's only been a few days.I am being firm with training though my freind Dee thinks I'm a very strict mommy! But now is the time to be strict if I want a polite doggy.
Here she is looking cute!

Sad day

Good morning , today I write about a sad thing first . I had to say goodbye to Snowy my faithful little doggy freind.We went last week and I said my goodbyes as he was ill and the vet said there was no cure just that we can make him comfortable. As much as I loved him I didn't want to be selfish and keep him here when he was so I'll.
Hardest thing I've done but a necessary kindness to my best friend.
RIP Snowy you were loved .

Me and Miska will miss you.
