Thank goodness for the canals...

... well The Golden Age of Canals actually.  Without such an interesting programme I would probably not have finished the pearl and crystal bracelet this evening.


With  five bar magnetic clasp.

This bracelet is very very pretty and sparkly - princess stuff!!!
Last week I was here....


and saw a 1960s set of pottery with a very nice sunflower design, but alas it was too big a set and too expensive, but then this afternoon I popped into my local charity shop and found the very same design, but much cheaper and less pieces.

A couple of dinner plates....

... and some cups and saucers.
Last week I received the last of the Craft Stamper swap items  - we had to make a postcard....

I had just bought these cupcake stamps and had to use them....

And in return, I received this lovely postcard from Elizabeth - thanks very much - I especially like the 'stamps' and the postmarks.
The birds were out in force today....

10 cheeky sparrows......

9 hungry pigeons....

2 Ja - a -ck Daws....
etc etc....

What else have I done recently.... oh yes I spent most of last week sitting in a comfortable position and knitting.....

samosas

and more cakes!

fabric postcards - wild about flowers


This is a photograph of a fabric postcard I made a couple of weeks ago. It was made using wild flowers printed on fabric then pieced with narrow strips of commercially printed fabric. The top is bonded to the pelmet stiffener and then onto fabric for the backing. I used a fabric pen to mark the back to look like a postcard. It measures 6 inch x 4 inch.

Cleaner Greener Thornton


I made these three postcards for the Cleaner Greener Thornton Art Trail. More photographs printed on fabric. There was a bit of a problem with the fabric as I needed more - it is a totally different weight and quality. I emailed the company who sent me the same as I'd ordered before. The postcards are again 6 inch x 4 inch, but this time I put them in a frame which I changed into a box frame by removing the metal pegs and inserting a strip of foam core board. The are now hanging in the gallery at South Square Centre. The whole exhibition looks super.

At the weekend I attended the Great Northern Quilt Show in Harrogate. A really enjoyable show. Next year I intend to enter some quilts.
