Letter C

Letter C came from some plasterwork in the grounds of Croome Park.  We had a lovely walk in the grounds over Christmas.

Letter D

D is for Door ...
especially when you turn it round sideways.

Letter 'E'

I have had this one for ages.  It was part of a drain cover.  Need 'D' and 'C' but have my 'A' and 'B' already.

Letter 'F'

 Not very original this one ... I saw it on something else.

Seasons Greetings

At the last meeting of the Worcester branch of the Embroiderers' Guild all those present were given a present from the lucky dip.  Mine was a kit to make a Christmas card.  I thought I would never get round to doing anything with it, however, whilst having a break and a cup of coffee and as a distraction from stitching the dreaded curtains, I decided to stitch the beads onto the piece of cream background that had been provided.

After several stops and starts, I eventually got all the beads stitched on.  You were then meant to glue it to the piece of gold card provided, but I thought I must be able to do something better with it than that.  I got out my Inktense blocks and coloured in the background and wetted it.  I was still not happy so I added some Quink ink, then I ran it under the tap.  It took ages to dry. In the meantime I had found a piece of denim for the background which I had glued to the reverse of the gold card.  (Bet you can see why it takes me forever to make curtains!!)

Not sure what I am going to do with it now ... perhaps it will get posted to someone one day ... in the meantime it will go into a box, much the same as lots of the things I play around with!!

Letter G

This is my pathetic effort at a letter 'G' and is part of a wrought iron door near the bookshop in Malvern

I am off in search of a letter 'F' now .....

More Yarn Bombing

Oh what happened to poor old Elgar .... he looks like something from Planet of the Apes.  This is the result of a 'Yarn Bombing' day to celebrate the switching on of the Christmas Lights on Belle Vue Terrace.  I had forgotten all about it and came across a storm of snowflakes hanging on the railings and lamp posts when I was out shopping yesterday.

Not as good as Bishops Castle, nor as colourful, but still very seasonal.  The snowflakes made with fluffy wool were the best and some had been stitched onto plastic so that they stayed rigid.
