Time for Tea

 A couple of daft digital doodles

 

Tea for Two Cushion and CPS Article

Another cushion for my conservatory. I used a tea towel for the background fabric and more of the fabrics that I used on the last cushion for the applique. After bonding and machine stitching, I hand embroidered around all parts using a variety of stitches.

I didn't have a photo of my article in Cloth Paper Scissors that I told you about yesterday but I took some today.

Teddy Bears Picnic, Cakes, Wolf and a Poem

Three paintings from sketchbook 12

Can you spot the frog in the picture above and below?

There is no frog with the wolf, maybe he gobbled one up [do they eat frogs?]

I was sent this poem by email, thought it was cute, about a grandma and computer

 The computer swallowed grandma. 

 Yes, honestly it’s true!  

 she pressed 'control' and 'enter'  

 And disappeared from view. 

 It devoured her completely, 

 The thought just makes me squirm.

She must have caught a virus 

 Or been eaten by a worm.  

 I've searched through the recycle bin  

 And files of every kind;  

 I've even used the Internet,  

 But nothing did I find.  

 In desperation, I asked Jeeves     

 My searches to refine.  

 The reply from him was negative,  

 Not a thing was found 'online.'     

 So, if inside your 'Inbox,'  

 My Grandma you should see,  

 Please 'Copy, Scan' and  'Paste' her

 And send her back to me.  

  

   

 This is a tribute to all  the Grandmas and Grandpas who have been fearless and learned to use the computer.........   

 They are the  greatest!!!         

      

 We do not stop playing because we grow old; 

 We grow old because we stop playing  ...  

   

 NEVER Be The First To Get Old!

Have a nice cup of tea!

Have a nice cup of tea, coffee or something cold if it's warm. I don't actually drink tea because I don't like the taste, but I do like drawing cups and t-pots!

Time for Tea

Another picture from the 'Layers' exhibition.

A vintage tablecloth was used for the background which was painted in some areas. The table, chairs etc were painted & outlined with coloured watercolour pencil. Individual cakes etc - paint & hand embroidery, mini buttons, beads. The items were applied to the background. Wadding & backing fabric applied. Quilting/stitching around all items & on wc pencil line. The 'wallpaper' on background was hand quilted. Wrapped around a frame. Size 50x70cm

This one was even harder to stitch in places than the canvas one posted a few days ago [Early Bird] as there were more layers to go through. I had to use pliers in one or two places it was so stiff but my fingers have recovered!
