Day 2!

So what makes a good reading blog?

I am trying to think....I don't read much....unless it's a craft book or magazine!  I have been known to write poems and kiddy stories!

I use to tell one to my daughter when she was younger and would only wear her wellingtons.  It was mostly to keep her out of the gutter after it had been raining...the roads are dangerous right.

Anyway that one was about a gargoyle that lived in the water sewers who skulked around looking to eat little girls wellies if they paddled, jumped or even just dipped their toe in the gutter rain water!

My degree is in Teaching crafts so I find writing a list of steps of how to make something enjoyable too..........

Perhaps I have struck on my theme.......well alongside trying to sell the fibre stuff I make!

Well that's it for today...I have to get ready....I have to paint Mum's living room walls cream and then take her to a hospital appointment.

Here's a pic to look at!
 
This Embroidery was taken from a study of a pomegranate.  It's still unfinished as such because it needs mounting. The top centre shape has washaway fabric with embroidery on so it will be transparent.  I want to cut around the outside follong the design outline and mount in a stand frame....I had this idea for at least a year ago when I was doing the embroidery!

Right must go,
Jacqui

Wildflower UnderFoot previously Lime n Choc Embroidery Fabric!

  What came first then? I love walking about the wild areas near where I live.  They are not big spaces, they're spaces people have forgotten and not used! As I walk I ponder on life's stuff and look about me.  I know this sounds deep but I do like the freedom of it!       I had already started this fabric...sewing lime green shiny fabric onto a muslin base adding hand dyed lace in places on top.  The fabric was sewn down in gathers and pleats in waves.     Don't know why but I decided chocolate coloured lining fabric is what was needed between, beneath the pleats.  Then green lining fabric was added to balance the lime green...        Lots of machine stitching to bed the chocolate sections in. It was at this point I decided to cut the piece into 3....for better or worse!  As this is now a piece that is in the making for months...how many I've forgotten....   ...

Creation of a dream

I should have started this two years ago! That`s when the dream of Fibre Dreams began to take shape! So after this long journey i am ready to start on the road trip of a lifetime. I shall boldly go onto the Internet with my handmade products. I have a transporter full of the extra materials and equipment i think other fibre craft people would like to have as well... I`ve got the stuff now i need to learn how to set up a website...or set up shop on big shop site (you know the bay thingeo!). I will even learn how to post photo`s of my products. Fibre Dreams.....First frustration was not understanding why the telephone number is not recognised when i tried to .com my blog site? And why you have to have a fax if you are setting up as a business?? And where do i go to get these answers.... But a successful day on the knitted blooms broaches!! So at this point in time if you have experience setting up fibre craft websites i would be grateful for any positive comments! If you have any in...

Adore Lamor Fabric Dyeing!

      I love fabric dyeing! I was looking at the fabric I have for sale on my ebay shop and the fabric that flew off the shelf and knew I had to replace....woohoo!! Which colours was the question, as I'm walking my dog through the wildflower meadow in my local park!  Ah yes meadow colours! Buff no brainer!   So here we go kitchen and diner transformation...ta da....chemistry lab! No really everything has to get covered by a cover, as the dyes get everywhere!     My complicated and expensive tools (!) Although the metal measuring spoons and the thermometer are essential and a brilliant buy as they make ME more accurate in my measurements!    I use 100% cotton calico PDF ready to dye fabric.  The fabric is steeping in warm water to open the fibres to take the dye.   Keeping an eye on the temperature of the water, it should be around 110 degrees to add to the powder dye.    Yes...
