I am not certain where the time is going but the projects
are not moving much on the stitching front but I have done quite a bit of card
making and stampin up work. At the moment I am going to be looking at all my
stamp sets to see which ones I need to get rid of and then also the stamp pads
as my tower is full and I don't need that many more.
Here are some photos of the boxes we covered to hold your
cards and the start of the one sheet wonder class. We did four of the eleven
cards that could be made. I am hoping to run another one of these classes in
June as it was loads of fun using up all sorts from a base. The next one will
be done using one of the new DSP and card sets. What fun.
On the stitching front my ladies have finished our pendant –
Archipelago. It was a great class and all the colour choices were wonderful. We
purchased these kits from Melanie Potter and there were plenty of beads so the
occasional flying bead was not missed. Our next beading class will be in ten
days and we are going to be continuing the bezeling of items. I will have a
selection of things that the ladies can bezel as well as one new student who
wants to make beaded balls so I am currently getting her a kit of beads and
accessories together.
I have been very busy over the past month making perpetual poppies and selling a number through the Percy Thompson Gallery here in Stratford. It was fun and here is the latest in my brooches made from a fabric flower. A friend challenged me to do something and I had initially forgotten. This is what I came up with during the week. Our next little challenge is to do something with three yo yo flowers. Reveal day is the Wanganui sit n stitch in June.
