Anyone like ironing?

Well...I spent much of my morning working

my way through the ironing pile that has

been gathering for some time now. I just have the

shirts to go and then I'm done - until next time!

I have to say, ironing is not one of my favourite things.

I've also taken a few pictures of my necklaces and so

I should be listing some of them on Etsy soon.

Here is a glimpse of some little pincushions

I was working on when I wasn't feeling so good last week.

More necklaces...

Some more of my experiments with texture.

And if you were wandering about the weird background,

it's this cushion that I made ages ago.

It is drawn with permanent pen, and then quilted.

New Necklaces

I've been experimenting with different textures,

and been making some new pendants.

As usual, I am a step behind everyone-

If I'd thought of these before, then I could have

had them in my Etsy shop in time for the 14th.

(That's so typically me!)

I've been tagged - here goes....

I have just been tagged by Gifts of Creation.

This is the 4th picture in my

4th picture folder on my computer.

It was taken about a month ago when

we were out for a walk at a local park.

I am now supposed to tag 4 people to also

post their 4th picture from their 4th picture folder.

so....hmmmm...who shall I pick on ?....

OK...I tag....

Done!

I have to admit, I did rush this a bit.

But it turned out not too bad.

If I did it again I'd change a few things,

but I don't think I'll redo it. I'm too lazy.

I hope she likes it.

I think if I mounted it and put it in a bigger

frame it might look better,

but I don't have a bigger frame right now.

(Do I sound a bit insecure - that's because I am!)

My toddler has now commisioned me to

paint her a picture. So I guess that

is next on my list. I wonder how much she

is going to pay me for it. A BIG hug, I hope.

My watercolours are out!!

I'm making a silly little picture for a friend and her

lovely new baby boy. I was going to applique some

bibs for him, but because I've been feeling

snotty and grotty, I just couldn't face it.

(He'll get the bibs sometime later.)

I was doing some doodling last night and came up with this idea.

Now to use my watercolours for the first time in ages.

Hopefully it will get me back into the swing of painting.

I do miss painting

I'll let you see it when it's finished.

(I'm really pleased with the two new

palettes I got at Tescos. £1 for 2!)

Lovebirds

We've all been coughing and sniffing

for the last few days, and I haven't been feeling

very creative, so I thought I'd let you have a closer

look at my profile picture. This is a watercolour I made

as a wedding present for friends (quite some time ago).

I wish now that I had made a higher resolution scan of it.
