Before I set off on my international jet setting I thought I would show you how my throw is coming along. First is the latest section, a simple 6 patch using gingham, ticking and some of my own hand painted fabric that I am sure you will have seen before. It's nowhere near finished yet and I have deliberatley left the selvedge visible on the pink gingham because I think it's lovely. I love the colours in there, the frayed threads. It's a really beautiful edge. Then a quick laying together of the 3 pieces I have so far to get an impression of how it's going to work. What do you think?
I still have quite a bit of stuff to do before I get going tomorrow but I wanted to post these images, say goodbye in a better frame of mind and clear a couple of things up. I will continue to blog without a doubt it's just that I have had the chance for a while to do a diffrent kind of work, still embroidery, but for someone else who wouldn't want it showing online. So if I do that I won't have as much to blog about, hence less blogging but not a total disappearing act. I don't know how that will work out, how I will feel about it once I am doing it, I may hate it but I really think I have to try. If it doesn't work out at least I won't be always wondering ''what if''. Secondly, I am closing the shop indefinitely at around 5 p.m. today. Thing is I have felt really sad since I made that decision although for now I am sticking with it. I may open again when I am more inclined to handle the downs as well as the ups but close it will, at least for a while. That doesn't mean that you can't ask me for something though, my e-mail is on here, you can comment. I will still take on specific things wherever I can. So that's about it I think, I am going on my holidays tomorrow, lots of thinking, relaxing and maybe a little retail therapy. See you soon, miss you already!! x
