Another WIP and an another old friend from the loft !

Hello to you all on this very blustery Sunday, here in the U.K. !
All the snow has melted away...much easier for walking the dog !!!
I somehow have managed to get myself a nice COLD and CHEST INFECTION......
Great isn't it, I hate feeling poorly....Lets hope it disappears quickly !!!
Anyway, I'd like to show you my latest Work In Progress, this actually gives me a total of about five projects on the go at the moment..........

And this is the kit by Elsa Williams...................................................

This is my ultimate, sumptuous, guilty extravagance.............................................

Oh well, you only live once.........might as well enjoy it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also thought I might show you an 'Old Friend' from many years ago that I found in the loft...................................Called 'Butterfly Elegance ' in cross stitch .................

Have a great Sunday, and thank you for popping by...............................xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My first Bead Journal project...Jan 2013 !

Hi everyone, Just completed my first project for the BJP...............................

 Decided on a black background to enhance the colours and the design........

 I have tried to use different techniques....ie bead stacking, bead branches etc.

                All in all, I am very happy with the result !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                  And last but not least.........This was taken in my garden this morning

Oh bless...............Post again soon, have a great week !!!!!

thanks for dropping by        xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Let it snow and MAXimum comfort....Woof, Woof !

Hello to you all.......Well what a day.......Its been snowing since the early hours here in the UK ! Hubby is still wearing his 'Robocop' boot and awaiting an appointment to see a specialist about his Achilles tendon injury.........
Anyway I dont mind the snow because it means that I get to play with my needles and threads ! So here is a little bit of 'Eye candy' to inspire all you creative people out there.........

Hope you like my experimental embroidery........Lots of needle weaving !
I shall leave you with my best friend 'Max' my miniature Schnauzer in his winter
ensemble........

Nothing like a nice blanket

will post again soon and a huge THANKYOU for visiting my
creative corner....Have a great Sunday  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

PrimaVera ! Sneaky peek........

Good morning all....It is a sunny morning here in the UK, just for a change !
Now all the festivities are over, its back to a  normal routine and settling in to some good creative time, once more ! I've been working on a new crewel piece called 'PrimaVera', which is coming on beautifully and I am so pleased with how it is turning out ! So here is a little sneaky peek at it....................

I know its been a while since I posted on this blog but I do like to show something that is worthwhile....good 'Eye Candy' !!!
I also would like to show you all, this little embroidery, that I did many years ago !
I found it tucked away in the loft, gathering dust....so I have dragged it out for an airing.............

For anyone who is interested.....The thread that I used for this piece is in fact
ANCHOR MARLITT.......I stripped each strand into very, very fine strands that
resembles 'Japanese Flat Silk ' to give that very smooth finish !!!
Well that's all today folks........I do hope you enjoy my post today and your comments are very welcome, thank you to all my followers.....you make it all worthwhile !!!!! Have a great Sunday...............xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
