Doodle doo has been receiving more attention. I have permanently placed things into the book that until now were just loosely inserted and I have been embroidering bullion knots for the next page. Later today I hope to cut the next page and place these blocks of knots into their permanent home. I am hoping to have doodle doo part two on video for you tomorrow. Basically it will be a recap of the work I have done in here up to now. It will help me to focus, help me decide where to go next. This afternoon I am also planning to work a little with my veil/festooned thingy. There is scrim with lace tacked on it ready for the sewing machine. That will be followed by mirrors and titivation this evening.
This next bit is kind of like a public service announcement......I am going away on Monday.....for five days, to London. I will be staying with my little girl, shopping in heavenly establishments where I hope to buy lots of glorious vintage bits and bobs and if I have any money left after I have seen to my needs I will also get some Christmas presents....I know...I'm selfish. What can I say, who can resist vintage???? Anyway....Alchemy 2013......it is almost full.....I will de list tomorrow as I can't forward the mail to you if you buy when I am away. If you have already been in touch asking to sign up later then you don't have to worry. You will still be able to do that but whilst I am away I cannot stand behind the metaphorical shop counter so have to pull the shutters down.
I will however be here tomorrow...hopefully with a video.
