I am in Cornwall on holiday this week, so I am hoping I can get on my blog during this time. The words this week are " So much to do, and so little desire to do it"and this will be the last page to post on my theme of vintage on Art Journal Journey. I have inked over a previous background with distress inks and stamped some sewing patterns on top. I stamped the dress form, lace and sewing machine on card and adhered them to the page. The figure is a Dylusions one. Astrid is all togged out in her favourite fifties type dress and so wants to make another one. She has the fabric, and the sewing machine. What she doesn't have is the incentive to do it, or a nice sewing pattern. Astrid also has her mum to look after as she has just come out of hospital, and her young sister living with her until their mum is well enough to have her back home. Her garden is full of weeds and she is way behind with the housework. She has just sat down with a cup of coffee and as usual is telling herself off "So much to do - so little desire to do it"

Art Journal Journey - Vintage
Another sewing one for my vintage theme on Art Journal Journey. An old sewing pattern for the background and lots of images stamped onto the background. I stamped the dress form and button advert on separate card. I wound some thread around a card bobbin. The scissors are a die cut, as are the buttons.

Art Journal Journey - Vintage
Oh dear, I hope he answers all the letters she keeps sending him while he is abroad working. She has pressed some flower petals from the last flower he bought her and has kept the one postcard he sent after he arrived ! The page is distress inked with water sprayed on top. I stamped some corners and some French script and included a letter already to be sent off. This is another entry for my vintage theme on Art Journal Journey
