next love

here is the third instalment in my book 'six of my favourite things'...mother of pearl buttons. I love the colour, texture and shine of these little treasures. I love the way they look when there's lots of them together...on a piece of paper, card or piece of fabric. I love the way they look in a pretty glass jar. I love to get them out and play with them...just like playing with buttons when I was a little girl. aaah...still a little girl at heart! happy valentines day everyone.

bundle moments


the bundles have been made, tied up and placed around my yard for the erosion project. I had great fun getting all the bits and pieces ready to put in them....fabric, paper, laces, rusty bits, beads, tags, wire, muslin....now I can't wait til it's time to open them up again! here are some pics for you to see what's inside each one and a photo to show you where they ended up in my yard...one up a tree, one under a pile of leaves, one in the dirt and one just sitting on top of the dirt in the garden under a tree.

erosion bundle project

I was reading about this project yesterday on Love Stitching Red and thought I would join in as well. today I will make my bundles and hang, bury, submerge or place my bundles in my yard. I did this on my own a couple of years ago with some fabric but as yet haven't made anything with it....being part of a group always spurs me on to finish things. I think I will make my bundles mixed media this time...and it's raining today so a good start! the link to the blog is on the right.
