Some lace goodies from the charity shop ..........
Some Welsh Love Spoons .......handcarved for a 'Cariad'...... A Couple of ATC cards .......subject 'Goddess of Love'..........What have you done to spread the Love today ??..........x
I love this pouch (or whatever the word is for this). It may make a lovely one to carry underwear in a suitcase. Great to find these ancient laces in a charity. For sure you know they are super when dyed or painted with dilueted acrylics.
Baked bread, made Apple crumbles,(shared with neighbours),made Chilli con carne (for tomorrow night ,sharing again),made Chestnut soup, (shared with neighbour again and some for tomoroow lunch with crusty bread, sharing again), and chopped and sliced and stirred onions,green and not so green tomatoes, red chillies with a little salt. These are now resting in my huge Mason Cash mixing bowl(no 12 size I think...anorak me!), these will be made into chutney on Friday along with added fruit and spices. Then I had a nap on the bed with the two furry bundles! Lucky you finding those lace pieces! The Welsh love spoons look 'loved'!

I am a qualified Textile Teacher but now I am lucky enough to follow my dream being a full time Textile Artist and I love every minute I spend creating in my studio at The West Wing. I am passionate about textiles and am privileged to share my skills with others.
I run workshops for schools, colleges and groups.
I work 1 to 1 with individuals who might want help with basic sewing or more advanced techniques.
Commissions are always welcome please get in touch with me to discuss your requirements. No textile job is too small .....:)

Come and visit my other blog ArtyMaker..I have been lucky enough, along with 8 other Textile artists to take part in The Enliven Project....a project organised by Eastleigh Borough Council....which means that we are working as artists in residence in local Charity shops ...we will create an outfit out of goodies we find in our allocated shop which will be put on display for a month. The outfit will then be featured in the Eastleigh music Festival weekend in July
Here is the facebook page ..with lots of pics .....
tous ces dentelles, un délice..
