Monday Inchie "HOME"

Sometimes you just have to forget the work and just go and create!!!!!

Monday Inchie "SOLITUDE"

Playing with my new soldering iron

I just had to have a little play with my new soldering iron. After listening to Yvonne Brown's lecture at Palmerston North's Tote and Gloat what an amazing lady and so inspirational!
I have made this into a 12" x 12" to add to my collection. I am finding the 12" x 12" a good way yo try out new technique's.

Painted Fabric

PAINTED, DRYED, WASHED, DRYED AGAIN AND IRONED!!!!! Now ready to cut.
I think I might be more excited than the children, this fabric is looking so beautiful.
Well done Room 1 at St Joseph School. I am so proud of you all!!!!!
