I have even made some matching buttons which finish this perfectly.
This is the second one I am working on. It hasn't been damp stretched yet and the tacking outline of the design is still visible. Hopefully I will have this finished at the weeknd and then I can show you properly what I have been up to!
and rouleau loops have been made too!! It is such a long time since I made any of these and they look really good on the finished work. 
Holidays are nearly over........I still have so much I want to do. There hasn't been much going on 'house' wise except the hooks for my work are hung and my pieces are all hanging safely. ( got my priorities right don't you think?) If I get a bright day at the weekend I will try and take pictures of that if only to prove I have done something to begin sorting out the mess.
Last week I sold a piece of work to Sabrina in New York. Today the hearts for my shop had rocketed and I wondered what was going on, had I been on the front page in the middle of the night or something? Well no, check this out, I am so honoured to be complimented by a curator from the American Museum of Art and Design!! In fact I am in shock and am going for a lie down in a darkened room!

A very much deserved compliment too! The buttons are delightful, I really enjoy seeing the embroidery showing through the cut pieces, can't wait to see the end product at the weekend

Tremendous - the buttons are gorgeous but then so is the rouleau (what's not to like in rouleau?) and the embroidery!

Your work is so amazing it SHOULD be talked about by a curator! I love the new piece - so happy! I'm so glad you're getting your name out there more - your work is truly one of a kind and it is truly beautiful. I hope you've recovered from your shock! I've just spent the last 20 minutes getting caught up - I can't believe it's been so long since I've stopped by! That needs to change! Well, happy Feb. to you! xo, Nan
