MORE CHICKENS




I have finished some of the chickens that I started the other day. The blue ones in the photo.


The one sat at the back is made in a different way. I think I over estimated the final size I wanted! It takes loads of polyester stuffing. I am going to try this pattern again but on a smaller scale. I would like change the stuffing to make her more tactile.

Crazy Chickens








Not sure what happened there - I posted went and fiddled with something else and now I seem to have lost the posting or it may come up twice.


So I was photographing my new hens outside and then my real hens came to remind me it was time for afternoon tea!

Make up roll or pencil cases




I have been busy finishing some flowers and hearts, I still have to photograph them.




The other task I have been doing is to get to grips with a new website I have found. http://www.folksy.com/ It is a Uk site, I think, least ways it is set up in Pounds and Pence so easier to work with than Etsy. I am having trouble photographing some green fabric that I have dyed. So have listed one item and now going to take the dog out!

Artists Sketchbooks











Its not that I haven't been doing any textiles, just got out of routine so not blogged and surprised to see that we are now in July.

Still I have been busy. The photos are of Artists Sketchbooks that I have covered with some fabric that I printed. They are landscape, A5 size and are currently for sale here. http://www.thehousegallery.co.uk/

The pencil/ make up bags are also for sale at the same place. There are some lovely pieces of art and all beautifully presented.
One of my other tasks this week is to get my Etsy site up and running, and now I have written it down it will be done!!
