Lately, on earthquake free days, I have been REALLY busy. I am currently damp stretching the first part of my latest cloth. Whilst that is doing its work I have added a couple of things to the shop. A brooch with a cutwork section showing part of a vintage transfer,
another brooch with vintage lace which I have added embroidery to,
and a cute pincushion, again cutwork, this time revealing vintage fabric with vintage fabric backing.
The next time I post I will be 100. Can you imagine that, 100 posts. I cannot believe it has come round so quickly. For the occassion I am going to have some kind of giveaway. I haven't decided what I am going to giveaway yet, but check back to find out. I really must mark the occasion because I am so happy I started this blogging journey. I have met some fantastic people and had a great time. Thankyou all so much. xx

Good to hear you are OK. Earthquakes apparently are not very usual in your part of the world, so it must have been really scary. - I love the new pieces!
I'm so glad you survived the earthquake! They are so scary - we live on a fault - and had a huge earthquake - well, huge to me, about 7 years ago. It was a 6.0 quake and my chandelier and pot rack were swinging like crazy! Luckily we didn't have any damage but the old buildings in town did. Last week there was a 6.2 quake close to where my mom lives - it really shook her up! Love your new work - as always, it inspires me...but after a quake like you had my hands would be shaking too hard to even thread a needle! Nan
wow, all of these are beautiful. I'm so glad I found your blog (via flickr).
Hi Karen,
I just found your blog thru penguin & fish.
I am an illustrator,(www.omniadesigns.com) but I blog with my son Toby about the things he makes, mostly jewellery, but also knits and sews. We live in Todmorden, wonder if its anywhere near you?
I found the earthquake scarey, never felt a building move like that before.
You have some lovely work, especially like the little button brooches.

You should read more books in bed . That´ll relax you a bit.

hello karen. thanks for the lovely comment. i will put your blog as a link up on mine if thats ok. i have some experimental machine stitching if you want to have a look in my older posts-robot stitching and some cross stitching. i would strongly say just pick up a pencil and draw what you see. dont worry about it looking realistic at all-just draw how you want to draw. i dont draw particularly well but i just draw how i like. go for it! dx.
