And another bag - with bird

When i look back i see that i have done something, even though at the time every thing seems to be moving slowly. you cant always see what it is you have done until it hasnt been done....... someone else will usually point this out to you! im sure you know what i mean. i seem to have a few things on the go at the moment as i want to try different creative endeavours, i dont want to get stuck with one particular thing.......too boring, anyway i will explain these photos.... the inside of the bag- cotton & linen.........close up of the bird cut from knitted fabric.......doily pocket on one side of bag.......front side of bag with doily & bird applique.

Red shoe progress

I am now making progress with this project, it has advanced even further since i took this photo a couple of days ago. this gives an idea of where i am going, after printing the background calico i stitched the appliqued patch onto it & added denim, & printed patches. backstitch shading, some embroidery & buttons & running stitches on the patches. next update soon.

Red Shoes

This painting is one of my favourites, it is the original one i painted, i have done a few similar ones over the years & i have liked them all. anyway.... it has inspired me to try creating it in a different medium ...... fabric & thread. i started it today by drawing the shoes & cutting a paper pattern, after cutting the shoes from red corduroy i machine appliqued them to a piece of denim from old jeans, then i decided i would block print some calico in a colour to co-ordinate & complement the applique. i dont have photos yet, will post the progress soon.

Shruggy Vest went west

This shruggy vest has ended up in the west....an extra layer to ward off cold breezes from the Indian Ocean....while soaking up the views from Fremantle....

knitted from a mish mash of colours left over from other projects...greys, purples, greens and blues....

......this mini wrap went too.....happy holidays!!!...

Senses

How good is it when you come in from the cold & the warmth envelopes you & the smell of something in the oven tantalizes your taste buds....... even if you cooked it yourself?(raylee).

Hand me down doll

A bit on the blue side...... just her hair & clothes.... made from an old shirt & doilies, with a puff patch for a brooch.
