SPRING BREAK TIME

 

Everything is fine--

just going to take a

bit of a break for now...

;))))

Here are a few other Springtime 

views of my lovely

front rockery daffodils:

Things are beginning to come out...

Just a few tips of my 

Day lilies above

Happy Spring!!

MORE GLUE BOOKING and FABRIC SCRAP SORTING

 

Working on my yellow pages--

Asian inspired above;)))

&

I made this one 

"Medallion Style"

Somehow the central image

 reminded me 

of a Van Gogh

with those colors..

AND

 some Black and white pages

These "base" pages will need some

embellishments...

[Sorry for the glare--the shiny

mag images are hard to photograph...]

click on any to enlarge..

*************************

Meanwhile 

I am sorting my fabric scraps by colors;

just a bit each day--

I find a lot of multi-colored ones hard

to classify into a specific

color--so I have begun a 

Multi (I don't really

know what color it is ) baggie ;)))

**********************

I am sending Helga off for a Spring Spa

week as I am not doing much sewing

right now...I have done the

under the needle stuff, but feel that

it should have a more thorough

cleaning--it's been 8years

since her last check up...

*****************

FYI: for those of you asking about

my recuperation from 

Long Covid....

I am much much better:

I still have an ear blockage

and tire easily...but today, as

it is 67  and sunny

here, I took a short walk

by the ocean--

ahhh so refreshing--

though there was still a coolish 

ocean breeze about...

I hope you are enjoying our journey

into Springtime..

Hugs, Julierose

SPRING SLOW STITCHING and FORMULA 1

 

We are watching the Austrailian Grand Prix

Practice 3 and...

I have begun a small slow stitching project:

I am calling "Spring Rain"

↓↓↓↓

First, I dyed these scraps with some of my

watercolor paints in a little

container of water; ironed them when dry; 

then I collaged 

them onto a lightweight piece of

batting and tacked them into place.

I have  begun working on the hand stitching

while watching F1 (Formula One). ;)))

Although these ARE scraps, they are

totally different from my usual 

scrap pieces...in that they are all in

the same light colorway...

palest of Spring greens...

Some are pieces of old pillow cases, 

some linen scraps and some muslins...

I am having to pace myself while

hand sewing...a little bit at a time...

*************************************

Today is a rainy day here with very gray skies;

but our grasses are starting to show green and

my daffodils are starting to poke up with their

bit of greenery...

It has begun to feel like Spring;)))
