Treasured memories book.

Image
I've been so busy creating that I haven't had time to post. I'm going to catch up right now and show you some more of my work. Fabric books are my passion, I like them to look shabby and pretty and as if they have been loved for a long time. This is for those treasured memories that we all have. I used my embellisher to make the cover. The base is a piece of dyed woollen blanket, I've covered it with merino wool then hand and machine embroidered over the top. The front is embellished with some hand dyed silk, a velvet flower and bits of my home made silk ribbon.                                      ' When this you see think of me.' I love this saying.                                A lavender pocket to hold your keepsakes and 'smells' so nice.                      A pocket to keep a special picture that captures                                     ' a little moment in time'.                                             You can

Inspired by Miss Sandy.

I am always inspired by Miss Sandy  at Quill Cottage and when I saw her enchanting little paper shoes I decided that I needed to design some for myself. I cheated and found this pair of baby shoes in a Charity shop.                                                        They are pretty and pink, just right.                                           I played about and cut and glued and stitched,                                           aged them a little and finally covered a box.                                                I'm so happy with how they turned out.                                       I hope Miss Sandy will approve of my' Little Steps'.                                                                   xox Angela.
