Do you remember these?? Initially due in february then moved to april? Well, it's now march so me thinks I should maybe get them finished don't you? They are damp stretched and hanging carefully in a place where they should come to no harm. I now need to make the backs and the linings and then finish the construction by sewing them all together. The backs involve very little, (probably none,) hand embroidery but a lot of hooks and eyes.
There are two of these, now I wonder should there be three? I think that decision will wait until these two are finished.
Today, so far, has been hectic. Lots of photographs have been taken of books, I have had my hair cut and I have edited photos too. I still have photos to edit (more books) and then I must clean, clean and clean some more. Tonight my little girl comes home......Tomorrow is my guest spot, tomorrow will be a book post here and a toe wrap post there. Let's hope I get it the right way round in the morning....or maybe the afternoon depending on when I drag myself out of bed.
p.s. if I owe you an e mail please bear with me...I hope to set aside an hour for that this evening before Helen gets here. I haven't forgotten you honest!

have a great weekend Karen - i would love 1 of your little books -
The textures of these pieces are really gorgeous!
Goodness, all this white, you do white so well, it is so peaceful and serene and makes me wish I could show a little restraint in my own work, it seems so in your face and loud in comparison (and not nearly as skilled!). Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, I always leave your blog feeling very inspired <3
They are stunning, the detail is amazing!
