Beaded fabric pieces

Working on a few odd scraps of fabric I had already machine stitched and machine embroidered ... adding some tiny beads and tiny french knots .. I was aiming for the effect of water here.

Sorry two of the photos uploaded sideways !

Background is made up of strips of fabric stitched together with a wavy machine stitch.  I used different colour threads and also stitched down some lengths of a variegated blue yarn.

The cat sleeps

Well .....it's still early on a lovely sunny Saturday morning.

The cat now sleeps after keeping us awake for much of the night.

I would not recommend moving house with a cat who is used to being outdoors ... the forced confinement is making him a bit 'nuts'!

Maybe we will venture out with him on a leash today?

Working on another batch of cards for our shop today. I love making these organza flower ones but I'm also working on some different designs using fabric pens and beads.

I will post some more photos later

Off to grab a coffee.....
