RAG RESCUE WEBSITE

Its just a short post today as I have to sort out stock for the Stafford fair which starts on Friday.

I will not be going but sending my hubby instead. He will be taking lots of haberdashery as well as tables full of antiques and collectables but very little of the Rag Rescue items.

I'm staying at home in the warm so that I can continue to list new items and take orders and prepare the house for Christmas.

Beads, boxes and braid etc

Listing tomorrow on RAG RESCUE website TOMORROW

FELTING THE WANDERING SPIRITS

When writing my blog the other day, I mentioned that I never have time to do some creating of my own. That got me to thinking that I needed a day off from the business to have some me time. Yesterday I managed to get out my felting machine and create. I didn't have anything in mind so just added bits of wool and fabric here and there.
I sat for about half an hour looking at the design to find something interesting in it. I must admit I often work like this and usually they turn out to be my best works.

So here you see the:-

Wandering spirits.

FELTISSIMO

I used some snippets of Victorian fabric in this work and some 1930's green chiffon with circles cut out and button hole stitched with gold metallic thread which was beautifully tarnished.
