I have spent the morning doing all sorts of tedious and mundane jobs which really needed doing, so.. while I am enjoying a cup of coffee and making sure my halo isn't too tight..I'm posting my latest doodle which I finished last night

what I am working on

apart from a bit of doodling I am working on a couple of pieces of needlefelting, the flower has yet to be finally needled but I want to add a beaded centre before giving it a 'proper' shape. It's my first big flower and has taken me far longer than I thought.

The autumn coloured book cover is a piece I started some time ago and have now decided it's time to embellish and bead it instead of just filing it away as a WIP

From the beginning

This was the original piece of painted cotton which I did some years ago, but it lends itself to 'adjustment' well. These were all done at the time and I still find the original a source of inspiration when it comes to playtime.

break in the clouds

It's been raining non-stop this afternoon! This is a piece of handpainted cloth which I have been playing with in Photoshop and it suddenly looked much more cheerful than the sky outside my window!

Izzie in Disneyland

All 10 seconds of Izzie doing her stuff!!! They are all back home in Zandvoort after a couple of months touring in USA, there have been some lovely pics on facebook which has meant we have shared the trip as it happened.

I've finished embellishing this piece and look forward to making something else in this colour range for the felt united exhibition later this year

fig tree

Having just got back from a holiday with Pam and Joe in NI I have been amazed by the way the garden has sprouted in six days, particularly the weeds! However, the weather has been lovely the last couple of days so the weeding has been done and it's been great just enjoying the sun.
