Stitched Together.

For my blog post over at Hey Little Magpie this month, I concentrated on using a way of embellishing pages which I love doing and that would be sewing. I really enjoy adding stitching to my layouts both by hand & machine. 

Together.

For this lo I have used mainly Maggie Holmes open book papers and embellishments over a background paper which I embellished by first misting some leaf shapes & then stitching the veins in using my sewing machine.I have to admit this did take me some time to achieve but I'm really pleased with the finished effect.

I will share the hand sewn pages with you in the coming week.
Many thanks for looking.

Getting hooky again.

I'm still rather taken by the Edwards Menagerie animal crochet book by Kerry Lord & here is my second completed friend from it.

I made him for my Husbands birthday & he loved him & he now resides on his work desk overseeing all things business. He is yet to have a name...the pattern was called Bridget but we feel he looks more like a boy!!

He even has a cute tail :)

Next is a hippo, then a rhino...
