Practise Time.....

for Free Motion Machinery.  For those of you who know, Mum still in hospital.  So yesterday managed to grab a couple of hours to practise my free motion machinery, I decided to make a couple of covers for my Pinking shears( they cut little zig zags to stop material fraying) and my ordinary material scirrors.

I used 2 cotton napkins for the back, thick iron on vilene for the centre and the top pieces are curtain remnants, plus my machinery.  Wishing everyone a lovely Saturday before the storms hit us.

Tim's Tag for October2013

To make sure I don't fall behind, managed to grab a bit of time to do my take on Tim's Tag for October.  I have chosen themes to invoke Halloween.....so spiders web and spider, owl on dark branch and of course a grisly skull with sparkly eyes and blood dripping.

To find out details get yourself over to Tims blog and have a go.

This is my desk this morning, not much going on, just the project I taught last Wednesday, it is based on somethhing I did a long time ago with Linda Elbourne.   Anyway the ladies had a good time, and I had a couple of hours to myself.

I would like to thank all of you for your lovely comments and good wishes for my Mother two weeks ago. Soon after Mum was taken into hospital and as it turned out not because of the Chemo or Cancer, but a pill against gout.  She had a very servere allegic reaction.  She is still in hospital trying to get better.  So I'm, up and down to see Mum and looking after my Dad too.  No more self pity, wishing you all a good week.

Hello fellow CCer's on the morning of Day 4, waiting for the next lot of techniques.

Far left the eroded metal, my good pal Karin gave me a pot of the Metallic paint which I did not have so I could finish Day 1 techs.

Next 3 are the rest of Day3, Faux cracked glass, Rock Candy Glitter and ordinary Glitter.  The backgrounds are extras I did of Braying, mono printing etc.

this is a close up of the cracked glass, I used the plastic packaging, die cut into tag shape, worked pretty well.  See you later on.......
