Fabric Book - 2009

A different look at my fabric book on the header at the top of my blog. I had a lot of enjoyment putting this together last year, although I continue to play and alter and add things! A womans work is never done???!!!. I love books, journals and journalling. It is my obsession at the moment.!

Felted Hearts

I love heart shapes. You can do so much with them. There are no hard lines to work with.

The strong symbolism of love is very needful in the true sense of the word.
I liked the colour combination of these hearts. Not your usual feminine colours!
There's a fabric bead in between the buttons at the bottom. Not easy to see in the photo.

Dansys Pass Lavender Pass

These purple/lavender gates are the spectacular entranceway to a delightful Lavender Farm at Danseys Pass in North Otago. Barry and Jo are very welcoming and apart from a beautiful garden with a number of varieties of lavenders,the enticing little shop is worth a look. We visited here prior to Christmas. Worth taking timeout to visit.

A Gift For A Friend

This is a gift made for a special friend.

It was a lot of of fun to make using recycled or upcycled fabrics whichever you prefer.

A lot of love went into this.

Pussy Willow and Ribbons

I love pussy willow. Not far from my home there is a pussy willow tree.

Every year in late winter I gather branches to place in a vase. They are

beginning to bud then and are an early sign that spring is near.
I enjoyed creating this wreath. It hangs on my kitchen wall.

Poppies in the Garden

Its very easy to rush past these pretty flowers.
I like to take the time and stop once in a while
to appreciate the colours, the ruffled edges and
the delicate petals of this beautiful poppy.

I love the brilliance of these Bright red Poppies

Fabric Tags

>
I had a lot of fun making these fabric tags. A background of photocopied music with some 'happy words' added and I had my fabric to work with. A little fibrefill, stitching and background fabric and there they are.

A New Beginning!

It is hard to know where to begin. A new blog and lots of ideas swirling around!
I thought I would start with something I have been doing of late.
It is relatively new to me. Maggie Grey was my inspiration here. What beautiful work she does.

Fabric beads can be quick and easy to make. Great to do when I have a creative urge. You know, that 'must do something urge.' There are no two beads alike. So much like us humans very individual and that is good.

I'm trying to get a photo with this.

With a beautiful new laptop I am very happy to say we have a 'photo' at last!
