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.

An update

This will be my last blog post for a couple of weeks - I'm going on a blogging break and should return the week of Sept 17th.  In the meantime, enjoy yourselves!
I haven't quite finished the latest landscape but thought I'd show you the general direction it's going...


You can see how I use the fabric I was searching
for in a previous post. 


 Today's quote..."When you see something beautiful in someone, tell them.  It may take seconds to say, but for them it could last a life time"

      I would love to attempt making one of those, but I suspect it wouldn't be easy. Would make an amazing gift though.

    Love the daisies added to this landscape border. Great links and I especially like the Betty embroideries. Today’s quote is so easy to put into action and I know first hand how positive a comment can make a difference to someone. Blog vacay enjoyment dear.

      I rather like the daisies too! As for the Betty embroideries - I love that style, but it's not something I ever attempt to do myself.

    Your project looks great and yes, the daisies are lovely!
    Thanks for the links, I think the butterfly birthday card is sweet.
    Enjoy your time off.

    I see I haven't been in here for a post (or two?) I love how you've framed the inner picture with the burgundy color. And the flowers in the bottom corner?!? And bunny!!! So sweet. I look forward to your return and more pictures of your barn. That is a lovely quote. And so true.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
