Another finish and a celebration........

I'm getting used to this keyboard slowly......have almost been tempted to put my old keyboard back.....

I've finished my own version of 'things I love' - 3 designs from the Gum Tree Designers, I used some colouring in designs (Eeyore & Miss Piggy & Kermit), some other published designs (albeit modified - the sewing machine and Shaun the sheep), but I did create some of my own - the Christmas tree, the garden Arch, the bottle & glass, and finally the frog I drew from one of my ornaments.  The hardest part was working out the block sizes, what lengths to cut the fabric and then working out where to put my 'bling'.  But I love it - it's all my favourite things, plus blue fabric........let me know what you think of it.....

tomorrow is my 32nd wedding anniversary - 32 years my wonderful other half has put up with beads, sequins, fabric, wool, embroidery floss, putting hooks in the walls and just allowed me the space to be me.....may we have many more.......

I hope all is well in your neck of the woods......

Cheers

Karen

the best of intentions.......

Technology has conspired against me.....my poor old PC was going so slowly a couple of tin cans with string inbetween might have been quicker.  So, a new PC I have and very nice it is too.....modern, fast (keyboard is a bit weird still).  So once I've got everything sorted & can upload photos again, I'll be back with a report on my latest finish...I'll give you a hint...it's 12 stitcheries (some my own creation).....kind of a story of me......and I will get to commenting on blogs....just forgive me if I mis-spell anything (as I said keyboard is a bit strange just yet)

so......enjoy your day & happy creating...
