Good morning everyone from a showery old Brisbane. I hope you all have enjoyed your weekend. I spent most of it catching up on work that has fallen behind while I was unwell....thankfully making some progress. I will be very glad when I am finished these steriods though. I hate how they make me feel.
Here are a couple of peeks for you..
I enjoyed playing with these pretties and I am happy with the outcome.
Little blue bird is also finished and it was also fun to do.....
A very cute Gingie project is next in the pile which I think you will really like when it is done....no piccies yet!
I like everyone else have been hacking off my selvages with abandon....dreaming of all the upcycled projects I intend to create with them and to date...nope NOT one!! But! I have been collecting some of my favourite ranges selvages in a separate little container. You know the French Generals, Robyn Pandolph, Choclat etc. and I decided I would use them to make a tote bag with selvage front and plain back (stash busting too). I got the front strips all sewn together but no pellon to go further.
I do love seeing all those reminders of ranges that I love in one spot...
So I now feel somewhat justified that I did attempt at least "one" upcycled project and I can keep hacking off those pretty selvages with a clear conscience.
That is it from me. I am off to work on the
Michelle's secret sewing project....
More tracing out and applique preparations to do. There have been moments lately when I have thought that I have not only bitten off more than I can chew...I can't even get my mouth around the bite! But I am trusting that my guiding creative partner knows better than myself....I have not been let down so far!!
I wish you a day of simple pleasures,
Namaste & Blessings,
Michelle xxx

ReplyDeleteSigh and Swoon! I love selvages and anything made from them. I hoard them like precious jewels. Your tote bag is going to be a delight to look at.
ReplyDeleteBoth your finishes look fantastic. Are they rosettes you’ve sewn just beneath binding? Oh my goodness! So sweet!
And finally the sneaky peek secret project looks wonderful too...so much loveliness in this post ...and gosh gal you’ve been busy!
