A little brooch for Christmas...

... yes I know that it's past the time and all that but I thought I'd let you see what I'd made to wear to a Christmas dinner. I used a piece of the original bottlecap pincushions fabric added another piece of felt on the back by way of the embellisher some beads and hand stitching.
A very vague Christmas tree theme in there somewhere.
Anyway I'll leave you with a sunset from the other night.


I dashed out and took a photo and then remembered that my camera had a setting for dawn/dusk pictures. The very thing, only trouble is that I can't remember which one is which. I think the first one is more realistic but because I have more photos the pinky colour then I think that may be with the sunset setting. No matter, just thought that it was interesting.

That's all for now. I'm away to upload them on flickr, yes, I'm still geting lost in flickr!!

Byee!

A stroll beside a loch...

...the sun shone for a while before the mist appeared. This is a picture of the sun!
...before the mist...
...a frosty day!...
... a frozen loch...
...love all the shapes...
... a little spot of ice skating!...

... add a few ripples or maybe tucks...but what's this?...An alien craft perhaps!! HELP!

I thought that it was pretty neat and judging from the footprints so did someone else before me. mmm...wonder where their photo will turn up! Here it is again in all its glory.

... a wonderful and inspiring afternoon stroll.
Bye for now!

Happy New Year...

...this is this years work so far! You know when you just need to sit down and do something creative even when you don't really have time for it. Well I had one of these moments yesterday. This is the result. A little bottlecap pincushion, fabric, stitch and buttons. What more can a girl ask for!!...
The following photos are the Christmas ornaments I made for friends ...
... some embellished fabric......and all the trimmings...
...bells, beads and sequins...

.... and here she is another funky angel, this time a bit bigger than my other ones.

Back view.

More embellished fabric...With added stitch and beading...

...before the finishing touches, front and back view...
...some wire beads and bells...

...here it is...finished!
From the back!
A little bit of packaging and done deal!
That's it for now if you want to see more pictures from these projects I'll be putting them on my flickr pages (link on side bar).
Have a good day.
Moira.
