Keeping my Commitment

A late Blog post from me my lovely followers and friends hope you have had a good day xxx

My day has been spent busy busy busy trying to get ahead as we are going away over 

the weekend and life stops lol coz the internet is rubbish - I m really pleased as Crafting

and House is reasonably up to date!

Was wondering what to share in Planet Blog this evening and I came up with this -

Thought I'd share this upcycled necklace with you.

Would love to hear what you think.

Coaster Alert

Afternoon lovely friends and followers so far so good -

keeping my commitment to me which I find extremely

difficult - Coasters now completed.

2 tea towels a piece of felt and approx 2 hours of 

relaxing sewing = 12 Coasters

Now just who to give some of these away to

will have to give that some thought.

Have a jolly evening

Love and hugs

Blog Update

Afternoon lovely followers and friends xxx

Well I am determined to update this other side to my Crafty life 

every couple of days to keep me motivated to continue in this

if not diffierent but complimentary direction.

Being up to date if ever one can be up to date with

Design Team and family commitments I decided to 

make some Coasters.

I do not take credit for the Design or method as this was

leaned at a friend's workshop.

Here s my Work in Progress and hoping

to reveal the resolved items in a few days time.

Have a lovely afternoon and thank you for your lovey support.

Love and hugs

Fragility

Hey folks well having got my sewing machine downstairs it got me to thinking about 

what could I experiment with this evening - then the news was on again about the 

awful weather that we ve been experiencing and the ferocity of the seas.

Then I go to thinking about days gone by and tiny boats out there with little 

protection and kind of came up with this experimental piece -

Recipe

Denim and Calico Fabric 

Matching Threads

Method

3 layers of fabric were placed together

and machine stitched along wavy lines

inspired by lines in the sand

Fabric was then slashed between the 

machine stitching then embellished

with hand stitching

Birth of a Different Direction

Evening fellow Friends and Bloggers this Post serves to explain the Birth of this new Blog.

Some of you will be aware that prior to getting involved in Paper Crafting I have a much

longer history in Textiles and Mixed Media.  With this in mind this Blog is intended to act as 

a Journal  into further Mixed Media Crafting.

I very much hope that you will join me on this journey and look 

forward to your constructive criticism - I do not expect that all of my

experiments will be a success so please feel free to say so -

what could I do differently or even not at all!!

For now I wish you all a Happy Valentine s Evening

Love and hugs Judith xxx
