MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Well, surprise, surprise.

There is something happening on the creative front at Chez Magpie!  I know, it came as a bit of shock to me too.  The colours in this photo aren't 'true' but it's all rusty golds and reds (with a tad bit of green) that will ultimately turn into a fall-themed crazy quilt pillow cover.  My plan is to make an interchangeable series of pillow covers that I can swap out with the seasons.  We'll see if my stick-to-it-ive-ness will end up coming unglued before I complete the entire series!!


Today your quote is from Joseph Addison.... "What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.  They are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable"

    Most of them surprised me too. Just think of all the food container labwork that went into them, only to be completely ignored? Sad, really!

    Hi MA
    My daughter sent that link to me a few weeks ago. It's amazing how much we don't realize that manufactures have put into their packaging. I especially appreciated knowing about foil boxes!!

    Glad to see you have a new stitching project.
    xx, Carol
