Has it really been six days since my last post? Where has the week gone?
I suppose this has been my first week back into 'creative work' and I work best at night time in the peace and quiet and seeing as it is still school holidays around here, it takes a while to get to the peace and quiet time. Still creations have been happening and the brooches I was working on in the last post have been finished and attached to their bags and they look amazing. I have also managed to cut my production time down..I am sure I can do more than 6 in a day, especially if I cut down my colour options, I could probably triple that number.
These are my other completed creations this week. I so love piecing these together, they take a while but it is so relaxing, a bit like a jigsaw too.
This lady reminds me of Marie Antoinette, so she has become affectionately known as the 'Marie' cushion.
The mauve/lilac/purple colours are not something I usually work in but they complemented these vintage doileys so well.
I am not sure of this ballerina's 'pretty' face but the rest of her is so lovely, she is beautiful in her imperfections..like the rest of us!
I have also been working on a few of these 'word' cushions, I love words...these are in preparation for The Handmade Expo too..next market is Feb 25th and that will be here in the blink of an eye, the way this year is flying by too.
Today is also the first day of a 12 week challenge I am undertaking with some friends and I am failing dismally so far, it has been raining heavily today coupled with the fact Lilly Cottage at Petrie got a total rearrange yesterday and I spent 12 hours there in total and every muscle I have was screaming at me during the night. So no walking, extremely tired and found some of those leftover Christmas chocolates...darn, I did think I had got them all...nevermind there is always tomorrow, will check the cupboards and fridge again tonight..just in case there is any more that need disposing of...it is bin night after all...or..there is always the other option seeing as today is a right off anyway.. hehe
Kiss noises Linda
