English Spirits Pretty Things: My Second Floral project for my Eons group.................

This part of my blog is all about the things I collect or the things I make myself. I love so many things, I paint and draw and want to learn oils and pastels. I knit and crochet but want to learn tatting. I embroider and can turn my hand to most things given a chance. So much still to learn and do. I live in hope of some day reading all my books, learning all I want to learn and now I am learning to blog. You will often find my original poems, poor as they are I offer them here. I also appreciate other people art and will feature things I find that I have enjoyed. That includes pictures of fairies and fantasy or maybe just anything beautiful.

I try to use my own photo's as much as possible, sometimes I borrow from the web. If I inadvertently use your picture without giving credit, please do let me know and I will either credit or remove it, I hope you will do the same with mine.

If you wish to leave comments on my blog you can do that by joining google if you do not have a blog yourself, please comment if you can I appreciate that.

My Second Floral project for my Eons group.................

For a long time I have had a piece of beadwork that I found at a garage sale. It has been years. I finally decided to make a pillow/cushion because in my Eons group we are doing something floral for this month. So this was the 2nd project I completed.
I made the cushion from my quilting stash, I already had a pillow form. So then I cut the beaded piece to size and hand stitched it on the completed pillow. The next thing was to put a border on it. I also had to hand sew that on because the pillow was already made.

I am not sure if its finished or not. I am thinking it may need some embroidery or something else around the border. I must look and see what I have around that wont take long to do. I want to complete a felt project by the end of the month.
