Thursday Journal with Neet

Neet's choice this week with Hearts and flowers and the colours funky fuchsia and slate grey. I added some yellow with mine for the bull dog whose name is Butch.
I used the two main colours on the background and a stencil of flowers with the same colours on the top. The figures are all Dylusions.

Tag Tuesday -- New beginnings

For Wilma's theme on Tag Tuesday I have chosen Bird eggs as a new start in the Spring for the birds. I am away for a while, but will try to do another one when I get back. I seem to be chasing my tail at the moment.

Another 3D embroidery

This is my 7th of these and I am running out of oak to put them on, might have to go begging to the place we had our windows made. I'll make them one and then ask for the offcuts.
This one is in pink and I had trouble finding enough in that colour to finish this. I am not a pink girl.

Every Inchie Monday -- USA

This week we are off to the USA and I have used shrink plastic for the card one and hand sewn the eagle onto a coloured background of part of the US flag.

Fabric page for Annie

This our third fabric page which measures 8" x 6" and this month it is in the style of Wendy Dolan. Wendy puts down layers of white fabric and after sewing them down paints them in the colours She then adds sewing and other bits to finish off.

Thursday Journal with Neet

My choice this time with the colours of Blue and Rust, I have added some green to mine. The word is Door.
I have struggled all day with my computer as it decided not to open Word or my photoshop. Photoshop had definitely gone AWOL and in the end had to use a new programme that I have never used before. After much frustration I managed to finish off my page that I started two days ago.
The picture at the bottom is when the door is open.

Every Inchie Monday -- The Netherlands

The Inchie challenge has been taken over by two of the ladies who entered the challenge last year. So instead of it finishing, it's off we go again. The subject this year is : Countries, the first one being the Netherlands where the two ladies are from. When I was 16,  I had a Dutch friend who I met in Switzerland, and visited him and his family the following year, he lived in Zwolle. He came to the UK the next year and after that we just wrote letters. I lost touch when I went to collage, and haven't been to the Netherlands since, that's  54 years. Not very good is it !!!.
 I will try to do my usual two. this time one on card and the other sewn. I have run out of stampbord so back to card again.
I have drawn a windmill with rows of tulips in front and have sewn some tulips. It's hard to believe that in the early days of hybrid tulips they cost as much as a mans weekly wage for just one.
