This piece is now available on etsy. I chose etsy because Big Cartel only allows 5 items for the cheapskate option (in other words it doesn't cost me anything if I only have 5 listings!) Talking of Big Cartel, I have changed it a little. I listed things on there with 'added extra' packs. Someone then mentioned that they may be off putting, people want to buy my stuff without being expected to embroider too, so I have taken that on board and taken those packs out, adjusting my prices accordingly, (downwards!)And now for something completely different! I can take no credit for the glorious work you see below. Credit for this piece lays with my mum. She rang and asked me to damp stretch something for her and I was completely blown away when the postman brought this. Isn't it just beautiful? The best bit........It's now mine, I can keep it! Thanks mum and I promise I won't cut it up!!
For the rest of the weekend I will be juggling!! (metaphorically!) I am going to start another piece following on from the one on here and I will also (hopefully) try and paint or something similar. My housework is done, yes, it is sparkly clean chez moi, windows and everything!! Oh my, how good am I?? and a big thankyou to Kerrie who has given me the 'beautiful blogger' award. I am working on the assumption that it refers to me not the blog! please don't burst my bubble!! Have a great weekend x

Beautiful work!
And I do love your Mum's embroidery I love those colours!!! Just beautiful.
It's all outstanding work. Your mom's work is just beautiful. A very talented family.
That's a stunning piece of contemporary art embroidery! I've been peeking in off and on since it first caught my eye. The piece from your mum is beautiful too. Wow...I would love to poke around at your place! LOL!
I'll enjoy your next venture too. Everything completed is the jumping off place for something new that may well seem totally unrelated, but it all is.
Beautiful work from you and your mum!
I love your new piece. The colors are beautiful.
All I can say is embroidery must be in the genes and your mom gave you some wonderful ones.
Lovely post today.
Love the use of colour in this - and, like you, I'm impressed with your mother's work.
Have a great weekend!

Now I see where you get your amazing talent from. Both your work, and the work of your mother's, is just breathtaking! I think it is so wonderful how you have carried this tradition, and made it so uniquely your own. Your Mum must be very proud of you and you must likewise be very proud of her!
like mother like daughter!
Your finished piece is just beautiful. The colours are fantastic.
You (and mum) have embroidered Spring!
