Delightful thing's

 Hello Creative Friends, 

I've been discovering lots of stamped, coloured and cut images 

recently that never quite made it to page. When I came across an 

unfinished journal page displaying a huge pair of stencilled gold 

scissors I thought this selection would sit so prettily upon it.. 

Edged with lace, pearls and a metal button it's like a gathering of 

Spring where I love to paint, sew and sow delightful thing's outdoors. 

Wishing you all a safe, happy 

and creative weekend 

Take care 

Tracey xx

A Stitch in Time ~ It's a Challenge

It's time for a brand new blog challenge over at That's Crafty

The theme this month is *A Stitch in Time* and we are asking you 

to share your faux or real stitch creations.

Here's what I got up too..

I first started with a piece of  wet organic cotton calico, laying 

the stencil on top and painting multi surface paint through it.

When dry I doodled around the outline of the flowers with a 

fine liner pen. Stabilised the fabric by gluing it onto a piece of card

and machine stitched around the edge.

A selection of buttons have been hand sewn for decoration and a couple for practicality.

Fabric dyed with multi surface paints has been used to back the inside with two extra pieces cut and sewn in along the central line to hold all those sewing accessories.

Keeping my fingers crossed that my measurements are correct it should fold together.

The larger of the buttons acts as a closure with a little piece of elastic 

which hooks around it keeping it all safe and sound inside.
