Stick Pin Fabric book

Good Morning All

I made  a stick pin book to go on the stall last week but it didn't sell.
Although, overall I did very well, others didn't do too well, but I sell my cards so cheap, just to get rid of them really.  Better getting something instead of nothing.

I have lots of lace to be used and this is a perfect way of using it.
I really enjoy making these and have been making ribbon flowers too, as you saw on Monday.
(Tutorial at top of blog)

This is the inside before I added the pins.

I did quite well though so very pleased.
And a big Thank You to my crafty friend Val, who helped out before flying off to UK.


This wont be wasted as it will be a surprise gift for someone.

Did you see John Next Door on Hochanda this week?

He was storing his stick pins on a heart shaped box like this.  

This is one he made for me, and I still use it.

The pins are some of the first I made, aren't some of them  awful???

This was the original post HERE when he gave it to me before he moved to UK.

He is very good at sewing but I dont think he has as much time to play now.

Also, when I got up this morning the sky was an amazing colour, the pic doesn't do it justice.
It was so pink and grey, just beautiful, it changed in the few seconds it took me to get hold of my tablet.

and this is one day last week, another beauty.

Good Morning All

When we went to Cartagena afew weeks ago, I took some images to colour with my Mica Paints.

This was one of them but I did not colour this one.

It was lying on my desk and I thought it looked good as it was.

I fussy cut around it.

I had to add afew black gems to hide my embossing powder dots!!!!

I do like it though.
