Will Wednesdays Work?.........

I've been having a think, dangerous I know. How could I start to blog a bit more often?  

Ok, so here's what I've come up with...Wednesdays! Original, I know. There is a plan, may have failed by next week but here goes.

Post every Wednesday....tah,dah! Ok, the plan is that I will post a stitched or not stitched photo every Wednesday. I will add some words for good measure.

Here's my photo from today (which will finish in about 15 minutes so I'll make this quick). I have made five birds today and have just finished mounting them about half an hour a go. I will take some pictures of the rest tomorrow. I may just pop them on my Flickr page...because it won't be Wednesday!!!!!!!!

Got to go, be back next week.

Byee!

PS. There are some real birds on my Flickr page at the moment. A couple of little Red Polls, worth a look.

Problems...

 This is my third attempt to upload photos to blogger. I'm not sure if it's because I'm on my netbook and it's slower or if it's because it's a really busy time. Anyway, third time lucky and I've managed to upload three out of the six I'd intended to show. Better than none I suppose.

These are from another set of birds although the one above looks as if it's a birthday cake!

I really like the pink and green flowery fabric but I'm not sure if I've got much more of it. I'm sure there will be another 'favourite' to take it's place soon. In fact I rather like the little bluebird fabric below.

Yes, if you can read them, the words on the song sheet in the background say 'Goddess of the blue'.  I suppose you could use these random words or sayings that appear when you work in mixed media as inspiration for another piece, or at the very least you could use it for the title ...if you had time...that is. Just a thought.

Oh well, I'll give uploading another shot soon. I'm starting to build up a number of photos to post. Until the next time, byeeeeee!

Little snips...

 from my new bird designs. You can see the full picture of a few of them on my other blog.

 They are little collages that are a mixture of paper and fabric finished off with some free machine embroidery. I love scribbling with the machine.

 I had great fun making them and will be making lots more in the near future. They are a great way to use up all my tiny snips of fabric and lace. It's a bit worrying as I'm now keeping the teeny, tiniest wee bits of fabric...help!

I love how they are all basically worked the same yet each one is unique. Some end up wth chunky birds and some with skinny birds. it all depends how I machine them. That's the last thing to be done after the collaging, the free machining so I really have to be in the mood as I can ruin it with one miss judged line. I've been lucky so far any dodgy lines have added a little character to the bird, whew!

That's all for now.

Back soon!
