minnas cushion

 

 

At last finished Minna's just got Viola's to go !

embroidered hare and floaty person...dream land!

I have started a series of embroideries to be sold on Etsy soon....here is the first one. 

The idea is that she is floating along in a dream like way and being pulled by a hare. I want to capture movement and grace!

and I am keeping them very simple, this one is nearly finished...

any comments? please let me know what you think!???

a cat dress...

I have a tunic which I bought years ago, the style suits me well. so I have recreated it with some stretchy cord and  put a cat on the pocket to make it less dull, and make it mine!

 Miow

 I learnt a lot making this, but it was fun. I have more different fabric but might  wait a while before I embark on that project, clothes aren't my 'thing'...

March fun!

At the beginning of March the girls and I went to stay with my sister Alice and Charlie for the weekend in London. Here is Minna doing some yoga with her Uncle Charlie (who is a yoga teacher!)

We visited the museum of Childhood, which was lots of fun and a perfect place to meet friends in the cafe then wander round at leisure catching up with said friends whilst the children are entertained!

here at home Minna and I spent an afternoon on the beach playing with shells, throwing stones, and digging in the sand. Viola and Christian were at home having an afternoon nap!
I love that it takes 5 minutes to walk to the beach, and the weather was so perfect that day.

Christian went to a conference and came back with this  bag which is  a good size for work, especially now Viola has started in the nursery where I work, so I can throw loads of our stuff in this bag... I made a badger to cover up the logo on the front of the bag. I am a bit obsessed with badgers at the moment.

  so lastly each girl with their respective big brothers! looks like an embroidery brewing to happen to me! and from 1st of April I have Thursday off which means time to play, lovely!

more chair and sleepy fluffy cat...and a couple of cushions

 and this is it finished...well not quite round the edges yet, but I will be making it presentable and putting it in my, soon to be re-opened not before time-, Etsy shop...

 Here are a couple of photos of two cushions I have made this weekend for two of my lovely Danish  nieces! 

I really want to learn more about letter shapes and get into calligraphy, and printing letters and grahics in general...So much to learn and the sun is finally shining, what a fantastic February day!

getting into it all again...

my brain is working overtime, Christian always has a laugh at the notion of me noggin getting any
action, but there you go I can show off and say that I am doing some thinking...

Yes and where is it getting me?

Its true I do day dream quite a lot, there goes some hours....bang gone.

Ok I have also done some embroidery too.


And its good to plan and  a little goal is forming in me little head....

here is a sketch...

and the embroidery in the process...

Christian is planning on going to Dubai more times a year through work, which we have decided is a bit hard on me...(violins) so I am going down in hours at work, YEH! this gives me a day a week to make and blog and plan and sell and be creative!
I need to make sure the house work is done beforehand as I like peace around me, thats the trouble with having studio space in ones home!

Hope the February weather is treating you all well, I am enjoying the snow leaving us and that the gale winds are dying down....!
