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.

Cut, cut, measure, measure.....

 All my cutting and measuring has resulted in this....


Horrible photo, but it's dull outside and NOT great for pictures I'm afraid.

Which will be turned into several 'somethings', but that will be revealed once they are.  There was some cobbling together too but I'm calling that design elements.  

AND.....there's a finish!  Those partially completed socks I showed you last time are off the needles and another pair has been started...



- Have a look through the galleries of THIS incredible artist!  You can use the 'translate' feature.

- THIS is a really sweet little project that could be used as a pincushion or for fall decor - and would make a really nice gift too.

- I know I've sent to you to a link for one of THESE before but this one is a bit different (gift idea perhaps?)

Today's quote...

  1. I shall be looking forward to see what becomes of those cut pieces of fabric. Your knitted socks are beautiful. I had not seen this poem before and I am in complete love with it. I have learned to love my body with all its flaws and extra chubbiness yet hubby is not a fan. After all I have lived through I am so grateful for the way God created me. Blessings Dear.

    1. I think more people (and not just women) should have that poem on their bathroom mirror. Loving ourselves as we are is so important.

    1. Yes, a new project (actually several) and, I think....just maybe....perhaps.....the last of the Christmas gifts for this year? Jury is always out on that plan though so who knows if something else might come along to catch my eye.

    1. I don't think I'd have the heart to stick pins into it!

    1. We should all learn to like ourselves more and that quote is a good reminder of that.

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.
