Blue and white, work in progress from Simply Stitch 4. Stitched paper, lace, zips, French knots, doodling with pen, doodling with paint. The pen piece is A3 in size, started yesterday and the result of a full afternoon and evening of relaxing scribbling in a pad. I will show you that piece in its entirety when they've seen it in school.
It has crossed my mind to put that piece into the Spoonflower software and get myself some printed fabric and even wallpaper for my bedroom. After taking a quick look over there though it appears less than straightforward in terms of getting the drawing good enough and I am a little scared, fear may get in the way of that plan. I will play though, spend a little time looking at their tools, see if I can find a magic one that does everything for you.
The french knot piece and the zip piece, they aren't finished. They will become a ledger page. The piece with the buttons, I am in the process of thinking through page options for that one. So it's still about ledgers here but more importantly my creativity is getting a kick start.
I spent all day yesterday waiting to see my new favourite band on TV, Coverage by the BBC of Reading Festival. Would you believe they cancelled that screening at the last minute? I was aghast. But I won't let a crummy set up like the BBC spoil my plans so I watched them here and you can too. And.... I was in this crowd when this was filmed (at the back by the urinals....classy).....happy days.
( please watch this if only to see the amazing flags)
