The collection of embroidered accessories for my latest notebook project is growing.

The beaded overlays will be used to enhance the notebook as I progress. 

Fabric painting is happening in the background, in class, and to my girls....I made you a video this morning updating you on my progress.

A note for my subscribers.

I believe your emails weren't the best quality in terms of images.

I think, I hope, I have rectified that now.

Last time I was here it was all about the hand stitched overlays.

Today it's two new pages which will each have an overlay too.

I'm possibly going to add more to these, that's why they don't yet have an overlay. 

The embellishment here is all hand stitch, scraps of cloth and scraps of paper too.

You may have noticed a little watercolour in the backgrounds. 

I'm not sure of the gsm of the paper in this notebook.

It's quite thin and almost certainly not made to accept wet media but it didn't ...

 In my last post I was rescuing homeless samples, adding more embellishment and joining them to create larger pieces. The pieces here today live in the same cabinet. The needlecase and pin pillow were created in class. The other two pieces here are stitched papers. Altered with machine stitch before hand embroidery was added. They are also homeless samples I guess. I'm

  Fine white Japanese tissue papers, stitched on my sewing machine before being embellished with hand embroidery.Sewing these surfaces on the sewing machine makes them very receptive to hand stitch. It's hard to describe how lovely, fragile and delicate these feel in your hand.My big 'to do' list now has stitch more Japanese tissue added!

Thank goodness dreary February is brightened up by Valentine’s Day. This year I decided to go traditional with hearts and flowers to celebrate, though I won’t turn down a nice bottle of wine or some dark chocolate.

I think I once made a hearts quilt, but it was gifted a long time ago. Rather than go the quilt route I found it was faster and more fun to sew some hearts onto leftover blank greeting cards.
