some more play

This is part of the back cover for my Stonehaven book - by no means finished but I wanted to show how the TAP image transferred to my embellisher fabric all cut and woven - the piece from yesterday has been cut in strips and woven with a number of other strips including some knitting - I find the Valdani perle cotton and 2 different sized knitting needles something I like to play with while waiting for the bbq to be ready. If you enlarge the pic you will see how the rocks photo has nicely slipped itself into this page. I now have lots of hand stitching and some more digitizing to do so I can start putting this book of samples together. My other little book is waiting for me to finish the involved hand stitch page (which will be included in The Holey Moley Club starting July 5th)

I have just finished writing the newsletter for May - we made a fast decision yesterday to take a stand at the Melbourne Paperific in June - found a cheap airfare and booked accommodation and paid for the stand so if you are coming to the Showgrounds for this show we will see you there. We went to the very first Paperific in 2000 so it will be good to be back. We are both quite partial to Melbourne.....

The saga of the pegs. You may remember I got a big bag of pegs for my birthday.

So back to the old faithfuls for a few more years I think......
