Oh No not another book.

I can't help it, it's taken me over. My love affair with fabric books can't be stopped.

I love them and wanted a sketch book/journal to keep all my thoughts and inspiration.

This is how it turned out.
I've made so many mistakes in the construction of this book, but I am learning as I go along.

There are lots of pages for keeping notes, each one edged with lace and fabric.
Of course there had to be some little pockets to keep my treasures.




I'll be filling this book with notes and sketches and inspiration.

You can see it again later as I go along. The next one won't have so many mistakes and maybe I can sell it in my Etsy shop.

My head is full of another project so I'm off to start that. See you soon!

xox Angela.

Hi Angela,
I love your book! They are very time consuming. I made one for the pastor's wife for her birthday and didn't even get a picture of it! Silly me!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful book.
Hugs,
Sonya

You need to take your beautiful book and sit at Dawlish :-) Couldn't see much because of the sea mist :-)Not even Exmouth.
But lots of inspiration as we were the only one's there. :-) xxx

I'm going to start as I mean to go on and keep my creative side in full swing.  I am putting some Hydraengea flower heads in my Etsy shop, they are made of velvet and come in gorgeous vintage colours. Just to give you an idea, this is something I made yesterday. I started with a piece of dyed and felted wool blanket, some merino wool tops and a piece of embellished net fabric.                               The first piece of blanket was a shade of grey but I forgot to take the picture, you know how it is,too much on the go. I used my embellisher to felt the merino wool on to the fabric, I didn't overwork it so it stayed nice and soft. You could also do this with a hand held felter the results are the same. Next I used the embellisher to attach a strip o...

Progress on my Christmas quilt is slow, I keep being distracted by other things. (see my other blog )                                         The angel is aloft, surrounded by stars. I added a little 'Love' 'Joy' and 'Peace'. I have no plan in mind just stitching and seeing how it turns out. I'm off to pick up my needle. xox Angela.
