Day 3!

Hmmm NO! I won' be writing here everyday!

It'll be day 2 and a second layer of paint for Mum's walls, although she wont wear her glasses so she won't see the patchiness....We've also to wait for the emergency button man today too!

So before I go to Mum's I've another 13 Christmas tree deco's to sew up the stuffing openings.  I tell you I will be only be making just one more set...it'll be these ones but in pink. 





There will be an extra one made for our Zoe.  In pink with shisha mirrors and Rinestuds.  It'll be Zoe's 4th xmas.  I am making the Dove for her this year so i'll be writing this somewhere on the shape.  Now whether it's the back or the front i'm not sure yet.


 
 
The next thing I've always wanted to make is an Advent Calendar.  A bit too late to be fully appreciated by my daughter!!  I had a little research this morning, a zillllion ideas but they've all been done before.  I'll let my mind wander and ponder on that one.
This is one of my favourites:

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...

Is ma hair alright?!

A little this and that tactics going on!!

So little time to keep up! Isn't this a beautiful brooch...straight copying from a Royal School of Needlework book on Stump work by Kate Sinton...this adorns my winter coat and I'm constantly receiving compliments. One of the reasons I am trying to teach myself Stump work is using the technique for a book I have had in my mind for years...years! So far I have several sketches of scenes within the story....I have made a start on the cover... Its finished but not complete as I have to wait for the measurements from the completed pages...I love it from its layered fabrics to the printing ink colour and the hundreds of hand stitching...and Shisha mirrors! I have my Introduction page finished too. Here's a detail image of the capital letter... So next came a Forest scene...this was my first choice to do as I 'thought' (!) it would be an easy one to start as I knew the techniques I wanted to use...here's the sketch for the page....
