Cooie

Cooie folks, it's been a while since I typed a confession a blog post, and plenty has occurred or rather some things have gone on and I've not had the time to write one out. Which is meant I am not sure what it is I have done, and in what order? Totally loosing the track of the days. I've been for the past few days working with my Aunt assisting with the Opera dresses for the English National Opera, hopefully will get a picture of the finished dresses that I helped on, especially the beaded dress. I'll keep you posted about that.

I've got back into spirit making the clocks again which is super and as I write this I am already musing over two other new designs, so things are looking up, and as I am now currently on time off owing to a knee operation I am having tomorrow I might actually get the time to make them. In between that though I have to finish a baby quilt, I also found some knitting projects whilst getting some wool to give to my Aunt, and oh look into learning Java. So it will keep me quiet at least. 

This is the pictures of the clock I made last week using the printed tape I purchased in Brighton, I totally love it. I also have plans to use the tape for another clock face and also a couple of new tissue holders. The latter i haven't done in a while and as the hayfever season is well and truely upon us it would be rather 'handy'. 

Available to purchase here

This is what I listed yesterday to Etsy, but forgot to mention here...the Little House Picture is completed! I'm so pleased with it and now I sort of know what I want to do with the other two little patches.



This is what I was working on last night but like a muppet now found out that I stitched it on the wrong side....ah well. Hahaha

Sunday Already?!

It does feel as though Sunday has just suddenly appeared, which sucks because it means its the end of my holiday and back to work tomorrow. I am going to moan that classic line, 'I don't want to go back to work' I really, really don't want to go back to work. I just have t think it's only 6 work days then I'll be off again following my knee op on the 28th.




To those who suggested that I turned the little house patch into a picture, here you go folks it's almost done! I just need to finish slip stitching the backing fabric, then attach the support then it's done. A little self supporting picture. I'm thinking I'll be doing the same with the other two little patches I have knocking about. Anyway this little will be finished tonight, then tomorrow morning I have something I am working on for my Aunt for a costume job for the English National Opera, pictures will follow on this.
