last night I sampled a lot, looking for a resolution to the ''how do I get these onto a larger piece yet not lose their fragility'' debate. I think I've got it, only time will tell, next time maybe you can decide...... x

beginning.....
I'm back, bloated, spoilt, overloaded with chocolate to eat (but I'm sure I will manage!) free of injury from falling in the snow, of which we had lots and really, really chuffed that everyone seemed to have a happy christmas in my little house with me in the role of domestic goddess!! Pity the guest that only has my domestic skill to rely on yet they all survived! It was truly a happy time here and I hope it was with you. My commission was finished just before christmas and this piece was started before then too, now I feel I have made enough progress to show you some of it. These pieces are very small, the biggest no wider than 3 inches. They were worked on a single piece of silk and cut out after damp stretching. I have given this post the title ''beginning'' yet I think these will be the last touch, the end, the parts that will complete the whole......(confused?? well I am so you must be!) I am back in swaddling band mode, I owe myself one after never completing the one I started for Sparkle.

Can't wait to see what you have decided to do, these are fascinating to look at.
DS1 had a lovely bruise on his back from slippy on ice in town last week, mum was a coward and walked down the road!
Hello Karen, Happy New Year to you and your family. Love the commission work. I look forward to seeing how you put them together. Hugs Judy
Your photography is breathtaking....and you make the white glimmer like new fallen snow. So beautiful Karen.
These pieces remind me of sparkling snowflakes and looking through windows....I love the combination of ecru and white!!! Looks so vintage Karen.
It sounds like you had a very special Christmas!
I love this new piece and cant wait to see where you go with it. Beautiful stitchery.

oh beautiful and very 'this time of year' looking too!
You are a dedicated maker and I am looking forward to getting down to some more making too, but need the school hols to finish!
Wish we had had more snow down here so I could have got in a bit of sledging! (but I did manage to finish a commission!)

Karen, beautiful doesn't describe the things I have seen here today. I haven't been by in a while, and deserve a slap upside the head. My only excuse is I was knitting.
These last few days in the year are just meant for small things just for ourselves. A gift to ourselves is just as important as giving to others.
May this upcoming year bring you blessings, goodness and joy.

I just posted, but I am gonna post again! I work in glass, and I have been experimenting with glass as lace recently, and I am so inspired by your designs. I resolve to try again!! Whatever world your work inhabits is the world I have been trying to get to with these glass creations. wow! these are beautiful....
your work is BEAUTIFUL, just gorgeous. I had to make one of the pictures from this post my desktop, i could look at these delicate knots and flowers for hours :)
