I find this so relaxing and fun and found a use for some old jewelery beads that I had rusted and saved. After that it was just a matter of getting the little wood base and drilling a hole, adding the dowel, painting and aging.
I had been given some really old thread which was perfect for sewing the beads on. Then I soaked it in tea, dried and stuffed it and added the base.
This could be like eating peanuts, uh oh!

Hello!! To start, I'm so sorry that I've not been able to visit your blog--Life (as you know) has really gotten in the way...Thank-you for stopping by my blog and leaving such thoughtful and supportive comments!
ReplyDeleteBut you've done an amazing job on your very first project! I really love needlework, and have done a few 'projects' but it has been a long time. It takes patience and talent, two things which you have an abundance of!! Marie Therese is also lovely!!
By the way, I NEVER heard from 'old Sams' family--I have his remains, and wanted to send them onto the daughter so she could give them to her Mom...I don't know whether to be worried or hurt...
Hi Tina, Your design is lovely and your work divine. You are just so full of incredible talent.
ReplyDeleteLove your canvas painting too in the last post. Gorgeous.
Good luck in my giveaway and thank you for stopping by.
Best wishes for a special Thanksgiving!
Hugs, Celestina Marie

ReplyDeleteWhat a great job. Well done talented lady! Thanks so much for your lovely comments about my magazine article. xx
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. My sister is a Fiber Artist. I admire your work, and how lovely to have found the perfect thread for the final touches. Birds are one of my favorite creatures, and they seem the perfect composition for such a beautiful pillow.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that you were originally from Canada. I love it there, we spent five years living there and when we took the girls to Disney World we spent most of our time in the Canadian building in Epcot. My girls said why are we here, we live here? They didn't realize that my husband and I thought it such a beautiful place.
