starting now....

decided to show a few photos of my latest. I'll catch up with what I've been doing between last post and now, was it really that long ago!!!!

I was running low on my cards so decided to make a batch. I tend to work like that, nothing for ages then blitz, loads of stuff.

I spent most of yesterday working on these but am not sure if they are going to be ok or not. I felt that they were a bit aimless. You probably can't really tell as I haven't shown a completed one in the photos.

OOPS, JUST DELETED A PHOTO !!!!!!

I'm using Picasa now for my photos but although I tagged 6 pictures it only seems to have uploaded 4. I've also been having a problem with my new camera uploading things because my card reader won't read the camera card and going direct from the camera eats loads of power and , and, and .....basically I need to get back to the drawing board on this one.
I've taken the last lot of photos on my old camera.
Obviously it all needs a bit of thought.
Keep taking the tablets!!!!

found these...

these were a few pictures that I took at the beginning of January this year.
I thought that they were quite inspirational. Not that I usually get round to using half of the inspiational pictures I take.

Thought that I'd tagged another picture for posting. Obviously not.
Also I'm not sure if I've jiggered the layout on this. Oh well.

I'm busy trying to get things ready for the Pittenweem Arts festival again this year. I'll probably be in Funky Scottish, High Street, Pittenweem ,(opposite the Post Office) most days. Say"Hi" if you come in to visit.
I'm trying to stock up with my unframed seashore pieces along with the usual heart and flower brooches.
I really must try and get some new designs.
It's a bit strange how I manage to leave things right to the last minute before I get into gear. I've only known about it for...mmm...lets see.... oh yes, a whole year!!!!
Maybe that's just how I work. I'll try and post some stitched pieces next time.
Byee!
PS I've not been wasting my time since my last post. I 've been dyeing and printing with Procion dyes and basically having a whole load of fun. I'll show some of the results once I get some photos taken.

PITTENWEEM ARTS FESTIVAL
FIFE SCOTLAND

random photos...

This was what was left afterI'd been doing some printing. I decided to scribble in the paint and take a few photos to remind me what it had looked like. I may have a shot at manupulating this on the computer. One of these days!

This was an old stitched piece that was lurking around. I keep picking it up to see if I can use it but the answer is always no. I can never find the right location for it. The background fabric is one of my recent makes . It is really quite big for me but as yet is still hanging on my pinboard awaiting inspiration. I hope it comes soon as I'd like to stitch a bigger piece.

on a roll...

finally found out how to post a few photos at a time....


















these were some of the ones I'd meant to post earlier...



















these all come from a piece that I was doing to fit a specific sized frame for a recent exhibition.




















this had quite a few bits added and subtracted!! That was a real pain trying to unpick some of the heavily machined areas. Not really recommended!! I'm not sure if I have a photo of the finished piece. I'll have a look later.
Bye for now.

reflections...

loved the reflections on the water!

Sorry!

This was supposed to be me catching up and posting quite a lot today but as usual things never go to plan!!
These two pictures, apart from taking ages to load which is really annoying me, are upside down or on the side and I'm not getting to access them to turn them. Obviously need to do a little bit of testing here and there to get things back to normal! Now I've just deleted one by mistake, grrrr!!! I'll load it another day, honest!

I was really trying to get rid of my "Happy Easter" so that it wasn't the first thing you saw when looking at my blog. It really makes it obvious if you've not been updating!!!

These two are from some of the many unframed pieces that I've been making for recent exhibitions. Hence the not being here!! In fact now that I look at them they look almost the same. Good grief!!

No,the first picture was actually one that got framed up. Yes the picture that's upside down! mmm!

You know how you talk about a bad hair day, well, I think I'm having on a bad blog day. Does that make it a BBD?

Maybe I need to go before I delete the whole thing!!

OR

Maybe I should just stick to flickr!!

Byeee!

Hope you had a good one !

Finally managing to upload more than one photo at a time. Thank goodness!!

Hope everyone had a good Easter and haven't eaten too many chocolate eggs!!

These photos were taken in my garden. The poor pink primroses had a bit of rain damage on them which was a shame. I have to confess that they are still in the box they came in from the garden centre, I must get them planted before they finish blooming!! Were does time go?

I'll try and get some stitching posted soon.

Byeee
