busy in Christmas mode...

Ha, ha, ha,... well I thought that they looked like they were laughing! :o)

This years angels. I decided to make them a bit different from the ones I did last year. These ones have faces and self coloured skirts. The rest is pretty much the same.

I liked the wings on this one.
Then there were the stars, in production.

I liked the photo with the red pin because i thought that it looked like a berry....oh simple things!!! I think the star shaped machining kinda got lost ...might try it again on something different.

A batch ready to go onto their backing.

One of those "red berries" again!

I haven't really done any Christmas cards this year. May still have a bash.
I was thinking that I would start up an etsy shop.... Not quite decided as yet. Probably a bit late to get it done for this Christmas. That is if anyone would want to buy the things I make on line.

I know they sell in Funky Scottish and in Culross Pottery in Fife.

Oh well, I'll think about it for next year.

That's it for now.

Byeeee! :o)

just noticed that this is post 60...

...then I forgot what I was doing and published the heading on its own. Obviously lost the plot! Anyway here I am with what I'd intended to show in the first place.
Some more pieces of fabric making for some Christmas hearts (surprise surprise!)

...just some more of the usual, bonding , foiling, couching and free machine embroidery. Nothing new then!!

some pieces of fancy yarns and sheers...

... then of course, the extreme close up!! Maybe should have turned the picture round!

... you can see a bit of the indented shapes made by the free machining on this one. I mainly scribble with the needle when working on my machine. I don't set out with a particular pattern in mind, it just evolves. Sometimes it is influenced by what I've added to it and I allow it to grow from there.

Oh! Yes, here are a few of this years angels, pretty similar to last years I have to say.

That's it then, here's to the next 60!!! :o)

Byeee!!!!

:o)

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.

LOST IN FLICKR....

sorry about the absence. I've been spending some time setting up some of my photos on flickr (use the link here or the photos on the side bar). I've added more from some that I've blogged about previously.

Don't seem to have done very much stitching lately but am now on the last minute dash to make some gifts for friends. I'll post a picture once they have received their gift.

I'll leave you now with a couple of gifts given last year, or maybe it was the year before, can't remember. Anyway, here are a couple of angels...

Hope that you all have a very happy Christmas and a Happy New Year.
