w 12 ... late!

Ok so it's now Friday!! I've been busy clearing out the garage to take the stuff from my studio! I posted the photos of the view from my studio a few weeks ago. Incredibly the next day I received an email saying that everyone was on a months notice to leave. Boo Hoo...I couldn't believe it. Making it public was like the kiss of death! Ok so that's a bit over dramatic but I was really dissappointed. I suppose all there is to say about is...next!

Back to reality and I'm still fiddling about with the little stitched landscapes for my class.

My usual jumble of stuff in the making. My new one is to the right of the picture before I added the flowers. 

Here it is finished, well at least the front is. I still have to put on a fabric backing and the brooch pin.

A bit of duplication on the next few pictures. I'm always amazed how the work looks in close-up. These flowers are really quite small and now I see them blown up some are not all that well stitched! They're a teaching aid, I want people to think that they can stitch them as well. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!! 

Until next week, byee!

It's been a while!!

Found a few photos that I'd forgotten to show. These are still from my seashore series. They may go on for quite some time!

...little fly stitches, a change from all the straight stitched and French knot flowers. Although I still use these stiches a lot as you can see.

...a mixture of sheers, wool fibres and machine embroidery...

...I quite liked the different colours on this one. Especially the strong red and turquoise.
The sandy beach at the top is actually my table!!

Sorry about the quality of some of the pictures, I seem to have developed a wobbly hand these days!

There you go, a few to be going on with. Will try to get some more things together soon to share.

Bye for now
