PUTTING THINGS TOGETHER...

 I am starting to think about colour and pattern.

Think about my designs and how they could look.

 And to think about the miniature apron I would like to make and frame.

Also added to MOSAIC MONDAY (link) )and USE YOUR STUFF (link)

FLOWER SHAPED APRONS ....

 For my course work today I moved on to thinking about the shape of the apron I am going to make.

It occured to me that I could make one to reflect the shape of the flowers that are the theme behind my project.

So I did a few doodles in my book.

 At this point I am not concerning myself with fabrics, embellishments or stitches that will come next.

 These are a few styles that I've looked at.

 I love the frothy one, I may make a miniature one to frame.

WHO IS THE SOFTEST.....

Its no good even though I dont normally blog about everyday life in the Holland household, this lot today takes the biscuit, so I am sharing it with you.

As some of you know this little Princess came to live with us two months ago, she is a rescue dog.

You can see how well she has settled in

But look at the scene I came across earlier

How ridiculous is that ?  Even Kikki looked at the hubby when she spotted him sat like this reading his country music magazine.  "What are you doing" said I "Why havent you got the heating on".  He said it was to early.  Tight begger, I wouldnt mind he even gets the heating allowance off the government.

LOOK WHAT I DUG OUT

 During week 3 of my course we are going to be starting stitch samples, so I thought today I would have a look through my stuff to see what I had in the way of threads and needles etc. I came across this lovely box of threads that I picked up somewhere just because I liked the box. Don't the colours look lovely with my papers from Paperchase.

 I've got a feeling I gave some of these boxes away.  I could kick myself now.

 This is some fabric printing I did on a workshop and two pieces of cutwork.

Its amazing what you find when you start looking for things.  This is some printing samples I did in 2003 at college.  I might use them in my course.  I'm thinking apron pockets. Its just an idea at this stage.  I am having lots of them and will need to reign myself in over the coming weeks I think.

Have a nice weekend and keep warm all my UK followers

APRONS, FLOWERS & STITCHES

  Please excuse the bad lighting on the pics, its late.

This is what I worked on yesterday for my Alchemy course.

I am still concentrating on shapes but now I am looking at what stitchwork and techniques I can use.

I got a fantastic book today all about aprons, the history of them, different styles, how to make them and its got great photographs.

It will come in useful for me when I get to the point of actually making one.

Big pics on blog today so that you can see the details
