crazy patchwork purse?

More crazy patching, this time for a purse I think. I have made it purse size and am hoping that when I come to sew it to the frame it won't be too thick, so thick that my fingers will protest. There are now 5 pieces embroidered waiting to become purses. That means backing them and attaching them to frames is yet to happen but I hope to make some progress with that later today. Thing is, crazy patchwork is becoming so addictive. This one though, (sorry) will have to be a little more expensive than the others because so much more time has gone into it, but that's self evident is it not? I actually won't mind anyway if nobody wants it because I deliberated for ages as to whether I should just keep it for myself.

Things have been a bit wierd here this week and I am kind of out of sorts a bit. My routine has been disrupted, my plans thrown adrift. I had a routine medical thing which they said threw up something abnormal. I am not ill, I didn't feel ill and I just knew I was o.k. Everyone around me flapping, contacting undertakers, ordering flowers (well maybe not that bad but you get my drift!) and me just sitting sewing the calmest of all. I never knew so many people cared and am grateful for that honestly, despite my flippancy! Anyway, I have been to the hospital today and there is actually nothing wrong with me but don't these things put you off your stride? So things may take time to get back to normal here. I have stuff to catch up on and my three columns probably won't appear this week. I definitely intend to do it but want to make new link lists and things and I just won't have time yet.
Never fear though, the sewing continues. More crazy patchwork tacked together ready for embellishing and look.......my new gingham arrived! (the yellow one)

I am using my painted fabric from last time in this and it does look different doesn't it. For now I have only appliqued two circles embellishment wise but I have plans, big plans. see you soon x
