creating a surface

Well I played yesterday as planned. Just me and my pin tuck foot, empty house, quiet, relaxed, taking it easy in my own strange kind of way. Managing all on my own to create a trail of fibre and frayed cloth through the house, up the stairs, in the kitchen, I even found some thread wrapped around one of my sons guitars, (don't tell him). I created this surface, for some reason it reminds me of when I was little, soft and textured, kind of like a blanket maybe or a special sunday dress. We have had such bright sunshine that taking photos has been a piece of cake. Some of them are very darkly shadowed but I like them like that, the sun must have moved when I wasn't looking! I can't quite believe that we have this huge volcanic cloud hanging over us because the sky is so beautiful. Sorry to digress but I find that particular news story so fascinating, almost unreal and hard to accept as an actual fact. I just hope it's gone before I go to Sweden in July!!! It's an awful long way to swim. Anyway, back to cloth and embroidery.... this was just a plain piece of silk dupion when I started, I then added a couple of pieces of vintage cloth and let loose with the machine. This would make a gorgeous coverlet and I would quite like one of those for my bed but it will have to go on my 'to do' list because I made this to cut up for my books.

then last night, feet up watching Britains Got Talent, (do these people not have relatives to tell them not to do it????) I hand embroidered on some of it. Do me a favour, if I ever mention I am going on Britains Got Talent deluge me with mail telling me not to!!

also yesterday, I finished my custom purse. Fingers crossed that she likes it!!!

So it seams I have been busy. I don't feel as if I have been busy in fact I have been taking it easy, I'm a bit 'weary' at the moment.

Now onto books......I am truly flabbergasted by the interest in them, not complaining just astounded. Thankyou! There are more on the way, imminent in fact but I'm not sure if they are spoken for. There have been tentative enquiries you see so I shall have to finish them and take it from there. Have a lovely sunday.
