WOYWW

 Good morning all.

Isn't this a lovely sight.  
A brand new box of beautiful oil pastels.

I gave my own, old box to Maxine so that Ben could use them for his artwork, as he loved using this medium. But I decided a budding talent really should have a lovely new set to work with. Don't they just look tempting- all fresh and new and ready to go.

Below is the little collage all ready for free machining. Neet asked how I made the little girl in the window on my bags.

I love a bit of free machining. It's like drawing with thread. I just stitch over the edge of the fabric and then do the fancy bits like the hair and the facial details.

I have a few more bags to do -I just need the time.

I have put 4 bags of workshop packs ready for Tilly. Two are sunflower packs, one lavender fields and one poppy set - so that's a total of 56 individual packs. So, as you can imagine, it doesn't leave much time for other crafty activity. I love doing it so it's not a problem. 😃

Well that's me for this week

Have a great week all

You are definitely the free machining queen and I am a mere handmaiden, lol!! Seriously whether it’s a card or a collage, you just nail it, true skill that! I have pastel envy, that tin looks so inviting, bet Ben will adore having those to create with. Well done on your Tilly organising, all set for some happy times ahead xx
Thanks for my beautiful birthday card, I love it!

Looks like all the stuff will keep you busy though I find it difficult to start using new stuff they look so clean and tidy that it seems a shame to spoil them but you're probably not as crazy so you'll just get in therer and make good use of them. Happy woyww. Hugs Angela x9x
