Stash busting

Mary admired the pearl drop earrings I had made from pearls in my stash. I decided to make her a pair and then I got carried away and made lots more! I think my textile group and the stitching girls will be getting little presents next time I see them.

 



 

Re-cycle, re-use, re-purpose

I was given a bag of Liberty fabric scraps and they shouted Landscraps to me. I could see water, mountain, lakeshore and bog. They sat in my stash for a while and then I fell upon a £1 scarf in a charity shop in Wales. The scarf is by Seasalt and I have seen their scarves selling for £30. the colours were too wishy washy for me but the image of the farmhouse jumped out at me. I think it is supposed to be a Cornish farmhouse but it just immediatly said West Cork landscape to me. I have completed two of them now one with feather stitch for grasses and the other with cow parsley and little flowers. There are 57 images of houses in total so now all I need are more Liberty fabric scraps!

Flotsam and Jetsam

I went back to slow, slow, slow stitching sea scenes. I used some of my favourite semi precous stone chips to create the look of the beach after the tide has just gone out. I think I might have a go at a larger version of this next. Perhaps I will add some land and sky????
