Hello to you all and I must apologise for not being a regular visitor to all the wonderful blogs I follow, but I have just stated a new job, it's supposed to be part time ! but I have been offered extra shifts and the injection of extra money is most welcome
A pine wall hanging painted with pink blue and pale green, a little bit of bead trim and some butterflies, I've kept it simple so it will have mass appeal and hopefully sell
+(640x360).jpg)
Also a cushion and some draw string bags
Having never made a heart shaped cushion before, I learnt what looks a good shape in paper doesn't make a nice shape when sewn ! hence the ribbon pulling the two sides to sides together
Now pop over to Artful Times and see what amazing things Neet and Chrissie have come up with
Now back to the challenge in hand it's ANYTHING GOES
For this I have some more things to show I have made for the Charity shop window

Love the shelve unit Von --you have made it look very special.
The heart cushion and bags are unusual and very pretty.
Love Chrissie x
oooooo I adore those shelves Von! Shame you are so far away! I know what you mean about the heart cushion...it really is tricky to get the shape right isn't it. But yours is so pretty xxx
Never mind a heart shaped cushion, I would be proud if I could put together a square one!
Lovely makes.
Love how you've altered the pine shelves - such a pretty look, like a summer sky. And those drawstring bags are adorable. Hope all continues well with the new job - sounds like they like you!

Congrats for your new job Von (think of what you can buy with your extra cash!!.
I really love the shelves with their beaded embellishment.
I'm beginning to realise you're a woman of many talents and I love your textile makes at the bottom.
I'm a much worse blogger than you but I'm trying to get better!
Take care,
