books....

Well the books plan went to plan, it's great when it all comes together! The only hiccup was the possibility of no sun between the bouts of deluge but hey presto, the clouds broke long enough to take a few pictures so here we are. As I said I was asked to make one as a gift for someone so made that making of one book task into the making of two books. One of these is now listed so pop over and take a look if you can be bothered, or don't whichever!In other news,......I have been hexagoning with pink gingham. I swear if I didn't have more self control that these hexagons would go on and on and on until the finished piece covered the whole of England. I managed to stop and play with joined pieces next to my raspberry silk and I'm sorry to report that it just doesn't look right. Not with a ''block'' of raspberry anyway so I am thinking, the brain is whirring and it may result in a little bit of raspberry silk applique and a few additions of other colours to the piece, some textures maybe. That's going to be explored a bit more this evening and tomorrow and I can hopefully show you before the end of the week.
I have a busy weekend coming up, my mum is going to be 21 again on saturday so there is a big party to go to. I am responsible for the cake, bet you're glad you're not invited now!! But best of all my little girl is coming home for the party and even more exciting.......she is bringing me metres and metres of this that she has bought me, a gift, to make curtains for my newly titivated lounge!! Be still my beating heart!!
