CAR BOOTY

A very successful day at the car boot on Sunday. I found a lovely little sewing basket
with a pin cushion on the top, some gorgeous duck buttons and a wooden santa badge, I'm sure Ill find something to put that on at christmas.
I was amazed to find a little picture of Port Isaac in Cornwall where I have just been on holiday, if you click on the picture you can see the School House where we stayed. I also
found a lovely wooden bracelet which I was going to split up to use in my necklaces but it's
so cute I might just leave it as it is. Last but not least a little hand made rabbit which was bought for 50p, I just had to give her a home for that. I think the lady on the stall was a crafter as she admired the flower on my bag that I had made.
All in all a good haul. Although my other halfs reaction was "not another basket",men they just don't understand do they.

This is something else I like to make, I love beads and have recently begun making these pretty necklaces.
I also love felt, its so forgiving and easy to work with.
As you can see I'm a bit all over the place with the medium I want to work with but I love them all
so I'll just keep flitting from one to another for now.

This is my first attempt at applique, this has a little bit of everything, patchwork, applique and
embroidery. I tied the top of the cushion with pink ribbons. I love this and I get very protective when anyone
sits on the chair (he he he )

This is what I'm doing at the moment,I love stitcheries and I'm hoping
when I get my sewing room back (daughter back home temporarily)
I'm going to include them in a quilt.

I Thought I would show you my very first attempt at making a lap quilt.
Although it has a million things wrong with it I was very pleased with myself.
I am a beginner and could do with taking a class or three but I'm learning,especially
to be more patient.
