Sunday Sunday!

I cannot believe how long it has taken to develop the design for the Christmas Decorations label....I'm sure I started at about 2 o'clock it's now past 5!!!

The first lot are printing off (very slowly I might add!) now.

They look alright seeing as they were done in Paint and not Publisher!  I can't afford it at the moment and so will not let me edit the previous versions I had done on my old computer.

It's printing on Transparent Film which I peel off and stick onto luggage tags.  I like it!

Here's the Flutterby Scarf Kit one

What else has happened I listed some more Christmas deco's on Folksy.

I have also left an inquiry about a craft fair stall place in a couple of North West venues.....more info when I check after this!

And hurrah I have just two more Christmas deco's to couch the hanging loop on!

That's it for now.....I have to steal up to a dare two members of the Gundog club have set me up to do........I should have backed down....don't know why I didn't????  It's not gonna be nice.

regards,
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....      Lots more machine sewing adding texture and a littl

Phew!

I am so happy!!! My little girl is now a Mrs!  She makes me very proud of the way she has conducted her life so far.  An honest, hardworking, empathetic smasher of a daughter! She lives in Australia now with her new husband and they had decided to get married here in Liverpool, UK!  So not only have we all had to cope with the 'stress' (if that's the right description?) of arranging a wedding but poor daughter and husband had to do it long distance! Any hoo after 8 months the wedding went off beautifully!  I had to walk her down the aisle as her own dad died 17yrs ago...I cannot remember being that shaky nervous EVER!   They look lovely together!     Arrhh well back to 'normal' life and plans to get myself over to the land of Oz for a hol!       I had a good week selling my wares last week...(well won't pay the bills yet !!)...most important sales were the fabric I make and the dyed fabric I sell.   Funny I miss looking at my sea

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 they are soup pots! Here they dye is measured and mixed.  I
