I was here at home, busy with all sorts of activities and the usual jobs etc.
Time just whizzes by.
So here I am ready to show you what I have been up to and the state of my work table for WOYWW.
Join in if you are a fellow crafter with an urge to expose all to other like minds!
This is the little blind that I have finished for Maxine...
In spare moments I made two cards for my two favourite ladies...
So, firstly I need to say that the inspiration for these two embroidered collages came from Diane - Velvet Moth. Her work is stunningly beautiful and her set of winter inspired collages prompted me to dabble in a different colour way. Thanks Diane - Maxine and I really love your work!
This is the one I made for Annie (Wipso - A stitch in time - little sis) for her wedding anniversary.
And this is the one that I made for Maxine's birthday.
Well that's it for this week.
I have homemade chicken soup and freshly baked bread buns waiting for lunch with my little visitors.
See you soon.
Have a great week and thanks for calling by.

Your little embroideries are beautiful and I love the gentle colours - that pretty pale teal is gorgeous with the pale pink. Thank you for the mention too - I really appreciate it! I hope you have a great week,

Those are beautiful cards, that's a definite nod in Diana's direction. She's so talented, isn't she? I live the soft colours you've used, just gorgeous. Wish I had your patience!!
Any soup left over, it sounded lush!

I agree about how fast the year is going... love your dumfing pictures. Helen #1
Your embroidered collages are exquisite. Happy WOYWW - BJ #17.
Oh, that's a coincidence. I have made soup as well. Lots of veg and pearl barley.
Your dumfing is beautiful as always. I like the blind. It's gorgeous material.
Thanks for visiting earlier,
Have a good week,

Beautiful work - the cards are just fabulous. The blind looks nice - wonderful fabric.

Dumfing, embroidery, chicken soup and home made buns - what more could make the world seem a brighter place? Plus sunshine of course - enjoy and make the most of it.
Hugs, Neet 5 xx
They are beautiful little pieces of fabric art and I think we are all inspired by Diane. Isn't it lovely to have access to so much beautiful craft/art all in one week. I particularly like the fabric you have chosen for the blind.

They are gorgeous - I love the subdued and delicate colours! Thank you for your good wishes on my blog the other week; I am very late in returning the favour - ironically I've been stuck on a PC for weeks, but not in a good or sociable way! xx
