Hand embroidery

I love hand embroidery, there is something really relaxing and satisfying about it. I love that you can curl up on the sofa and watch telly whilst doing it. So its great to have some hand sewing on the go, especially when most of my work at the moment is machine embroidery based, it nice to escape from that. Plus I am not very good a sitting sill unless I am doing something, so hand embroidery is perfect.

So in my bid to be more organised and to get ready for the Christmas Fairs I am doing, I have started making some felt Christmas tree decorations. I have really enjoyed making these as I get to choose lots of bright colours and add buttons and patterns. I am now starting to make cards in a similar style.

Autumn

I think Autumn is probably my favourite season. I love leaves when they changes colour, and I like being able to wear more snuggly clothes. Not so keen on Autumn days like today, as its wet and miserable but you can't beat dry and sunny autumn days.


I took these photos at the weekend and then ended up collecting some leaves and doing some experimental printing which was very enjoyable.

I also started to take some photos of some Christmas decorations I have been working on, I now just need to get round to adding some of this new stuff to my shop.
