Art sketchbook



I've finished & started, don't think its going to be quite as beautiful as the one that was my inspiration but its such fun. The sharpie writes so nicely on newspaper.

Woven seat pad



It's found a home on a little leather seat that is looking worn, time to start a rug.

Crewel finish



Realised I hadn't shown you the finished piece and sewing box refurb. It now matches my morris room and has a removeable washable cover. It's staples on the top with braid around hot glue gunned on.

Mug Rug



The last recipient has her Christmas mug rug so I can blog about it. They were constructed out of repurposed material, hand quilted & free motion quilted. This one has antique flowers appliqued on it.

Loom threaded



It's ready to start, done 18 pegs on a large guage. Need to do the strips for it. I'd like to do a little bath mat if I can find the old towels to cut up. I'm a little worried about the fraying.
