WOYWW

Good morning all.
Just a little "dumfed" (needle-felted) picture that Maxine made to show you today.
I mounted it in a re-cycled frame that I painted with chalk paint and then rubbed down and waxed.
I have loads more to do but think I will try a few other colours for mounts and frame colours.



I have been on a spending spree this week so I thought I would show you my crafty goodies.


Annie and I have purchased a big cutting mat, a plastic ruler and a rotary cutter. So we are all set up now to get into quilting mode!
We used all the proper gear when we went on our bag making workshop and we were so impressed we decided it would be a good investment.

Also I had a litle trip to Dunelm and treated myself to some nice buttons.
(All prices and receipts are well hidden!!!!!)


Lastly I thought I would add a lovely pic of Jo (Jozart) with the fab boards that she made for each of us. I have the blue one in my sewing room and I am thrilled with it - thanks lots Jo.
 
 
Another short post this week but at least you have some nice pics to look at!
Have a great week - see you on the mad WOYWW desk hop.
 
x Jo

    Hi Jo

    Love the framed needle felted piccie. And good luck with the quilting gear - no doubt you and Annie will be flying along with your new goodies.

    Hiding prices and receipts is no good girl - EAT them!

    Hugs, Di xx

    Nice shopping, I ordered some more storage items from Dunelm the other day, even with the postage it was a bargain.

    Nice boards from Jo.

    Love the mounted and framed felt art. It's gorgeous, the frame came out well too. Ha ha I don't hide the receipts, I do what my Dad has always done, halve the cost...downwards...ha ha ha. Love the board, I just made my own board - not quite as fancy though. Cx #98

    I'm a big fan of buttons, so I had to enlarge the photo and snoop. Really nice.

    I KNEW the red heart was for Annie. It just felt like it, although no one said anything last week.

    I'm running late, so I know it's almost time to return (grin). Happy WOYWW on Friday from #2.

    I forgot to mention. I wish we lived closer (like on the same continent) because I have a huge mat, a rotary cutter, and several of those plastic grids for getting fabric straight. I never use them. Not ever. They were given to me by a friend and I suspect you and Annie would find better use for them.

    Haven't been to Dunelm for months - I can feel withdrawal symptoms coming on!!
    Never managed to get my head round quilting even though I invested in a 'Quilting for Dummies' book........ how sad!

    I still find it amazing that you and Annie didn't have mats and rotary cutters! So much easier on the wrists and I find the material cuts straighter than with scissors, less movement or something! Apologies for being so late returning your visit! Annette #18
