Sometimes I think that this online world full of like mindedness is really freaky!!!
Last week Manda posted about this book that she had won on eBay but which Amanda had just posted about aswell.She thought it was a freaky coincidence.Well the freakiness continues!!Just before I read Mandas post I had bid on a book on eBay,no photo but the description was very interesting so I took a chance and bid.Look what arrived on weds...
..the same book!!Manda and Amanda were right it's full to the brim with inspiration.Just look at some of these...
The next page had me running to my felt bag!
Along with Lu's work (that I have been admiring on Flickr )and the fact that I love working with felt I had to set to!So during Desparate Housewifes (well I have to do something to keep me awake as much as I love the show it's so way past my bedtime!)I made this little 'Fiesta Bird Pin Cushion'...
I had forgotten how much I enjoy a little free-hand stiching (I won't call it embroidery!).The restriction of using what I already had led me in a totally different way than I could have planned.I kind of like the result though.
I think the rick-rack really finishes him off.I found a stash in loads of colours I didn't even know I had.Maybe I should join Toni in her month of only using what you have !!!
