Doing what you love……..

Postman Sid you’re such a lovely man

Bringing me gifts in your little red van

Good friend Vix sent me a parcel which included brand new Petra dress

she picked up in the clearance shop and knew I would be able to layer it

up with Petticoats, cardies & brooches. The stamp collections will be

great for crafting. Thank you so much Vix for thinking of me.

And look at these clever book corners made by Liz aka Bizzymitts

Aren’t they clever. I’m looking forward to us being back at

Anne Brookes studio again in Brighouse later this year.

Thanks Liz for the bookmarks they are already in use.

I finished reading the fantastic book Where The Crawdads Sing

by Delia Owens this morning just as Vix parcel arrived which also

included Niamh Boyce’s book The Herbalist.

If you’ve not read Delia Owens book I would definitely recommend it.

It’s now being made into a film due out next July.

I’ve been saving this dress for tea out at the pub for the first

time since October with our good friends Jacqui & John.

 

The dress is a design by Ghost Fashion for Marks & Spencer

and has some lovely features, like the gorgeous frilled sleeves

for shoving your hankie up. 

Before the excitement of the footie final on telly tonight

there’s time for lots more textile experimenting for

this months prompt - Nature, with the textile gang.

I created a new flower made from three old ones from a flower

arrangement that was past it’s best.

Its being pressed in this old ledger book now.

Here’s a little montage of what I’m working on and with.

I’ve been printing, stitching, flower pressing, messing with layouts

on PhotoGrid and sketching.

It’s like being back at college and I’m loving it.



Enjoy the match if you’re watching it

and have a good week.

See you soon

Lynn
