Blue Beads

Just had to show you a picure of these blue beads before I started using them. Don't they look yummy,ooh!

Embellished Purse

I have posted the embellished purse because I have been asked alot of questions since I originally posted it on a Fibre Arts Network. I made it last year at a workshop given by Sandra Beech. We had to thread wool into a dyed thread tube. Then stitch these threads into two circles with a handle.I then linned my purse. We were then able to embellish it with dyed thread and embellished with beads and embroidery.

Another Snowman!

Jenn built another snowman today. I think he must have said something suprising.

He had already borrowed her scarf!

Blue Moon Embellishment

I thought I would continue embellishing a blue feltwork and embellished piece. I used the Blue Moon we had last Monday as inspiration. This has sparked off lots of other ideas too!

Beading

I decided to do some more beading on the scrim and velvet I started before Christmas.Jenn had caused way to much fun this morning with her new friend! I thought I had better bring some creative normality around here!

Background Before and After

Thought you would like to see the before and after pictures. It is now ready for embellishment with embroidery and bead work. I will post the finished piece when I've finished.

Background Machine Stitch Detail

This is a small section of the Background so far and as you can see I have machined gold circles around the purple swirls and added gold metallic stitching in other areas to give interest.

Background Machine Stitch 2

I freemotion machine stitched all over in another colour then over stitched swirls in tiny circles in the darker purple.

Background Continued.

I took the abstract painted background on Lutradur that I began at the beginning of the week and started freemotion machine stitching. First in straight and curvy lines then with another colour thread made stitches in swirly shapes.

Still Snowing

Its still snowing here in Norfolk. We've still got the extreme weather warning and it was -12 last night but look at this picture of part of our garden. The sky looks so clear and crisp. I've been naughty I haven't cleared any of our paths yet but have a bucket load of salt!
