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.

February project for my Eons group.........

I have committed myself to finishing at least one project for my Eons group. The group is called Sewing and Craft corner, its lots of fun with lovely people in the group. So......things did not work out quite as I had anticipated but I did get one heart done. It was not a Valentine project for me but I love hearts so it was a heart project anyway. I ended up doing a small pillow. I did not at first know if it was going to be something I hung on a drawer nob or door. Then I wondered about putting a pocket on the back for potpourri but in the end I just left it plain. I am quite please with the result and I think I want to do a couple more. I did this all by hand. I suppose I could make it go quicker by using my sewing machine. We shall see next time.

I used some silk fabric that I had in a sample book for upholstery (or curtains or something) a very useful thing I picked up at a garage sale. The crochet work is also garage sale finds.

Pink Saturday................

Photobucket

I love to try to watercolour, not always very successful but I have found that I find a lot of inspiration from peoples blogs. So it is that I am joining in this Pink Saturday again. This time I am featuring a couple of paintings that I have done. I want to thank How Sweet the sound for hosting the party.

This on the other hand is a quilt I made.

I have not sewn in a couple of years. There has been so much going on in my life (explained on Bluebell Woods blog) but I am hoping to get back to that very soon.
Meanwhile I have a couple more pinkies for you
