MY SOUL IS FED BY NEEDLE AND THREAD
....ohh and pencils and paper

Sharing the love amongst all my projects of late......BECAUSE my wish list is greater than my ability to work on them all lol!
Soooooo.....I added 4 baskets to my "Basket Case Antidote" pile.
Earlier on, when the plague first came to town I joined in a little creative sew a long on Instagram. A lovely lady called Sarah Edgar gave us the inspiration to create a little sampler and to SEW A LITTLE HAPPINESS EVERYDAY...this was the name of the project....you can check out the hastag if you are on Instagram.
I really loved working on this. I had it nearly finished with just my intial to go.....and then I quilted the segments with embroidery thread I had used throughout the project.
That done I searched my stash for a binding and this blue stripe was chosen.
The idea was to stitch a little something everyday....no pressure....just whatever took your fancy. I used some orphan designs I found in my doodling folder and little bits of treasured fabrics I couldn't throw away. I also had some leftover charm squares.


I wasn't sure about the grey background but its all that I had big enough. But I think its come together ok.

I have hung it in my sewing cave and I love it! I wish the grey would photograph better but for some reason it doesn't it....much prettier in real life :)

Applecores had also gotten some attention as I have a little GD checking my progress lol! So I have to have something to show!

So thats what I have been up too.....not exciting but enjoyable.....makes me wonder if we will ever go back to exciting?
Meanwhile.....
Namaste and blessings Michelle xxx

    It's lovely Michelle.... I thought it was a blue /grey background....
    Not sure what will become normal now...... Or maybe this is it now and we just have to get on with life. I'm not happy about it though....

    well done on your beautiful finish, it's so pretty.
    Applecores look fantastic, Have never done them before. They look a little tricky.
    Very pretty baskets too.
    We have to look at the positives no matter how hard they are to find..

    Somehow I suspect that, in future, 'normal' will be very different to what 'normal' used to be. Your happiness project is very sweet! Hmm....I thought apple cores were inside apples, not flowers? *grin*
