It's been a while....................and finally I have made my way to the laptop once again to make a post! I think for a while I lost my creative 'mojo' :(...................... I know we all have quiet spells sometimes when we need to take stock a little and reinvest in the ol' creative juices. I was just having a moment don't you know! ;0
Anyhow I have been madly snapping away, in fact it's fair to say I'm possibly nearly all snapped out for now! as I have been taking photos of my work to put in my shops. Finally! So the mosaics below show some of the textile treasures now in my folksy shop, pop along and take a look....
bloom brooches ready to adorn lapels
purses in a range of pink hues, perfect for the girly girl in you!
and one of my fave colours - turquoise blue, yum!
Well enough of that self gratuitous promotional malarkey, never been my strong point it has to be said, hmmmmm perhaps that's not a good thing.... ;0 !
Anyways on to other things, I had been asked by a friend of mine, the v lovely Sandie if I would make her a guest book for her wedding next year (far too organised!). A loose idea was given of what she would like it to look like, and for it to go with her wedding colours of chocolate brown and burnt orange.
So I set too with my fabric fragments, buttons and thread, with the sewing machine on stand by for a bit of 'writing'................... and so below is what I created for this lovely lady's special day....
hues of cream, orange and brown in varying textures and pattern
all stitched on a woven self patterned cream remnant, with the betrothed names stitched in chocolate brown thread
And finally the finished piece, with flame burnt orange ribbon to tie, (love the streaming ray of sunshine bursting through the window across it!)
I have sent it off to its new home as my gift from me to them towards their special day. I'm now waiting on a full report back as to what Sandie thinks about it - as I did say I wouldn't be offended if it wasn't what she was after and I was more than happy to make another if needed! So fingers crossed! ;0

Yes, I can agree! I have also have very hard to started after the summerbreak. I think my blog only view different photos from water, sea and different other thing.
