More of the same here, more pincushions on the go. It's funny how colour is playing a huge part in my work now. Not that long ago I wouldn't have dared, some said I was scared of colour. I actually think that was true, not any more though.
Posting this I am wondering if Jackie still thinks my blog is cool and calm? Well maybe the blog is.....I'm not! Thanks to everyone who said they can't wait to see the crazy patchwork doll. I have bad news....I haven't even started her yet! In an ideal world I would like six dolls for the fair, in reality, well, I'm terrified, will it be a doll less stand? I really hope not, how many hours are left? Someone work it out please. p.s. thanks for all the comments on my last post, it's good to know you are still out there!

I still love the white on white, but these are gorgeous. Don't think of the hours, it will get too frightening. I am sure you will be fine
Love your work, you are one hell of a talented bee. If you happen to fly by Denmark bestow some of your talent on me, please!!!. I have my first stitchblock instead of a writersblock. Well, let's see it from the bright side, I have at least something, LOL.
Oh Yes! I love it!
Especially the lilac.
Oh Karen, it's all meant to be fun! Really all will be well, you'd be amazed how the space fills. I try my stock out on a 2ft ish width of our bed to see how it all looks and how it covers the table. By the time I've added my card and pricing it dosen't actually need LOADS of stock to make a good dsplay. Promise xx
Scrumptious colours... and looking so good against the white.
these are wonderful. I just love the way you photograph your work. Keep going!
Your pin cushions look great on mass.
I'm sure it will look fantastic,take lots of photo's.xx
I am loving your splash of colour (but you know I also love your white work.... love it all).
Your stall is going to be amazing, I just wish I could pop over to take look...
Have fun and I am so pleased you are enjoying this adventure.

Bless you, breathe! It will all be fine! I've still got loads of creating to do hehehe ;0 X
I really like what you do with a bit of colored thread and some white linen, but I'm feeling a bit frustrated that we don't see many whole pieces. We see bits, closeups of the details, but what does the enirety look like? I'd like to know. Unless I'm missing the point altogether, and pieces is all there is? If so, . . . never mind. Carry on. What you see is what you get . . . etc.
Hello Karen, I did post a comment here once before to say how much I love your work. I do some needlework myself and although what you do is WAY out of my league I can still appreciate your skill and artistry. I have an award for you over on my site. Please come and get it! With thanks for sharing your work,
Janice.
Hello,
I have been wandering about your blog, your art is lovely!
Hi Evalyn. I am so sorry if you are dissapointed with my images. There are lots of finished things here though, silk beads, pincushions, a commissioned hanging, dolls, buttons. I show a lot of close ups to illustrate the process I am going through to make the finished piece, perhaps that would explain it.
om my how I wish I was going to
the makey do,gorgeous work as always!and all your pictures are amazing especially the close ups!!
Ingrid
I just love all your pieces. thank you for showing us these wonderful pictures , especially the close ups. the close ups show all the detail in your pieces.
some of the blogs do not show close ups, so its hard to see the work. I think its great that you take the time to take close up pictures for us all to enjoy the beautiful detail in your work.
Deep breath Karen - it'll be great. You know that you can do this. Your ideas are rich and colourful and the execution is exquisite. It will be a success. If you want child labour I'd volunteer but you may want to give me a job I can't screw up. Have a cup of tea and a Hob Nob and b-r-e-a-t-h-e.
(Btw I find the photography inspiring and very informative) xx
Thanks!:)
I love your colourful works, or well, i love all the things you've made, but it is fun to see things in colour :)
mmm. This is probably because i'm hungry at the moment, but those puffs look like really delicious meringues!:D
i just stopped by to see what was new and i am so-o amazed at your embroidery. it is so beautiful! how long does it take to make those little "balls" ? : )
I don't care how funky OR puffy -- it makes me happy just to look at the work you do! So... keep up the puff-ery!!
Just spent some time looking back through your blog (it started cos I was curious what "Makey Do" was). Really interesting to see how your work has altered over the last year and yet still has the same basic theme and inspiration. And I love your devotion to hand embroidery - so unusual today when the desire to "make things quickly" has become more important.
