A Surprise

I have been crippled with my back since Friday and haven't been in my workroom.  I went in this morning to put some post in there and my plant is in flower. What a lovely surprise to cheer me up.
 Took a close up of the flower itself, so beautiful.
And yet another surprise, I have a visitor looking in the window!  I have a small balcony and Hunny's hutch backs onto the flat, just as well if she can get up on it.  You can see my lovely Perris in bloom and my pansies in milk bottle bottoms for pots.

More Embellished Hangings

For some reason I cannot rotate my pictures.  I should have done this before I added my name in the middle lol.

This first one simply Love.

 And this one is Under the Sea.

Four Seasons

I completed these earlier this year. It's a set of four small hangings entitled The Four Seasons.  I have used my embellisher to make the background using paper and fabric.  I have then added ribbons and embroidered over the top to finish.

The first one is Autumn or Fall.


The second is Spring.

The third is Summer.

And finally Winter.

And for the Men....

I also had a request for an ipad bag without the 'girlie' handles; and the mens ipad bag was produced.  Its just a wallet style with metalic fastenings and the key ring holder.

 This shows the inside, like the ladies, these are all numbered and individually made.  No two alike.

These are also suitable for either sex.
A bit blurred, but work in progress.

Lets get this show on the road....

At last things are starting to get into place and set up.   I have a new studio/workroom at my flat where I am now working.  I will try and keep this updated and interesting.  First off my labels have been made for my bags.
These are all ladies ipad bags.  I made a raggy ipad bag for myself and everybody loved them and that's how it all started.  So this is just a selection of some of the bags I have made.  Its been an ongoing learning experience as I do things different and try different things.  Most of these have already been sold but I do have a few left; which I am hoping to sell at craft fayres later this year.  Photographs don't really do them justice as they are all photographed in my old kitchen.
