I have made something extra special for you this week. A tiny, tiny unique piece of paperwork. It is small, 6 x 3 inches but would maybe look lovely in your journal or sketchbook. It would even make a very pretty shopping list if you needed a random scrap of paper to write one down! As always, nothing original here! Just leave a comment, a nice one, a rude one, any kind at all!! The winner of the last buttons, these ones, I know....... it was years ago...is Lilipopo....postal details please!!!
Aside from stitching paper and pricking and perforating I have been embroidering some silk...yes...fabric!! This is to go with the ongoing paperwork that I showed you last time. Don't worry it will all become clear....soon I hope. And I hope you are proud...the ironing is done!!! and cupboards have been cleared out!! It's been a positive hive of activity round here I can tell you. Thing is though, I am no more organised. Despite throwing away shed loads of stuff I appear not to have gained a jot of usable space, not a chance of having everything in the same place. ....still pondering that one...

Congratulations Lilipopo!
Karen, your works are always beautiful on paper or fabrics.xxx
It has been inspiring watching your work develop over the past few weeks. I admire your commitment to your craft.

I would love to have one of your paper embroideries no matter how small it is because the beauty that it produces would be just magical.
Just lovely work Karen. Please include me in your giveaway.Sue
It's gorgeous, Karen!
i've given up on organization in the true sense of the word. my stuff might not look organized, but i know where everything is. gorgeous paper pricking.
This is such a beautiful piece - like all your embroideries. I'm blown away!
Strange, isn't it, that however much you organise something, it never seems to be any easier to find what you want!
Hi Karen,
I just love all the pretty things you make. Your work is gorgeous. :)
Big hugs,
Lois
Shopping list! Only if I was shopping at Tiffanys, Neiman Marcus, and buying lbs of organic beef. Amazing stuff as usual. Looking forward to your next piece. ~MB
Very pretty
I would definitely put this somewhere where I would walk by it often and admire it every time.
Amazing! I am so impressed - ironing done, cupboards sorted!!! Then there's the small matter of the exquisite embroidery and the shopping list - beautiful!
Too pretty for a shopping list!

I'm totally fascinated by your paper. It would be great to see one up close...
I think I'd carefully mount your lovely bit (maybe over a dark paper or cloth) so I could savor the beauty!

I would love to be entered for your give-away.
No matter how much I clean and organize, I never have enought room to make my stitching room neat... how does that happen?

I'm very proud of you that you managed to do the ironing, clearing out the cupboards, making a paper piece and embroider a silk piece. You are one busy bee.
Now I have to get to my second load of ironing of today!
Enjoy your evening.
I agree with the peeps above, it is far too pretty to be a shopping list. Beautiful xx

i dunno Karen - not only do you stitch on beautiful fabric, you stitch on beautiful paper too! looks stunning. wouldn't dare put it in a journal - it would be filthy within a couple of minutes lol
Lovely work as always :o)

I would love to be considered for this lovely piece!

this is totally mesmerizing. I also like the ruched muslin on/against the paper piece in your post "home again".
After your tidy up, if you are like me you'll never find things you need again.x

I really need some new paper for shopping lists so I'm really happy to throw my name in the hat for this one. (Seriously - shopping lists???...horrors!)
Oooo count me in! You know this would be seriously loved by me!

I have a beautiful oak frame that would do very nicely for a piece of your work...shopping list indeed!! :)x
This is my first visit to your blog, but I'm a admirer of your work over on Flickr. This is a truly lovely piece. I am a big fan of combining mediums!
