fragments..

Two silk fragments now finished and going in the shop later today. One is embellished with off white thread and vintage cloth in the cutwork windows, the other with bright white thread and lace in the windows. Both are worked on white silk. That's it then, description given..I'm off..see you soon!!

Only kidding!! I actually don't feel very well today, not like me, I'm a northerner we are tough. I have the most awful headache caused by constant coughing and sneezing, my eyes are running and burning and I am in line for an Olympic medal for mucous production, sorry I know that's gross but It had to be said. I had virtually no sleep last night due to an inability to breathe which as you may know is a fairly basic requirement of life itself. Why am I here then doing this?? Because I can't keep away, I'm needy and I'm a loser. Please don't judge me though, at least it means I like you!

I would still feel like c..p if I sat on my behind all day so I may aswel do this, it keeps boredom at bay and I get very fidgety when I have nothing to do...Then there are my plans for the weekend, mucous or no mucous. I am going to make little muslin bags for my hook and eye pieces..why does that excite me?? I knew I didn't get out enough...

Tomorrow I have a treat for you too, well I say a treat, you may not think so. I have been rooting through my files again and come across some more ''artwork'' from days gone by. I am going to let you see it and then put it in my sketchbook section on here....see, I am always thinking about you even when I'm suffering...selfless that's me.

pillow overload...

Walked into my dining room, come workroom, come storage room, come computer room, come DINING room this morning and thought the elves had been in overnight!! I hadn't realised how much stuff I had made recently, it just kind of crept up on me. They are stacked, stacked I tell you. On the table where we eat, on a side cupboard, on a blanket box that I have in my bay window. I think I had better get a box for them or something, maybe this is the time I finally need to get organised. I don't think I will make any more soon either, some of these are christmas gifts and some are listed but for now I move on. Before I do though I give you number five.....the first images are of it's creation

and voila!! Here it is. I actually think I love this one a little too much. Now I am wishing that I had a sofa that nobody ever sat on, that I had a big room just to display all these safe in the knowledge that they would never be assaulted by somebody putting their derriere on them. Maybe I should ask santa for a chaise longue for christmas, it could always go in the shed....

So far I have used a few ''French'' phrases today. Absolutely unintentional but it does remind me that I must tell you about an e-mail I got this morning.....In French, which I had to translate on google. I do know a little French but not enough to wade through an e-mail so I popped it into google translator. Wish I hadn't bothered!! Basically it was informing me that my blog had a ''SLUGGISH'' appearance to it! Ha, bloody cheek! For a small fee they could remedy this...Oh could they now?? And my head is zipped up the back!!!!
Anyway, rude people aside, I am working on my throw as I said last time. Yesterday I joined existing pieces which you have already seen to the main part, embroidered another (tiny) section and today I aim to put together another piece.
An update on the white stuff.....we had some overnight on tuesday, main roads o.k. Not suffering nearly as much as other areas but I am chittered!!!
