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.

Last one!

 This is the final in the ornament series (and I'm sure you're glad!)...



For better pictures you can visit the designer HERE.

- THIS artist does really interesting work!

- Although THIS is technically touting a book, there's a project that's quite intriguing and also an interesting article about the technique.

- THIS is a really pretty scarf design that could easily be changed up to make a blanket.

- I've never been a huge fan of shawls because they want to fall off but I think THIS design might just have a lot more 'stayputability' (and yes that's a word in MY dictionary!!).  

- Have a peek through the galleries of THIS amazing artist!  (thanks to Mary Ann of My Tate Gallery for the heads up on this one)

Today's quote is from Susan Sarandon..."I look forward to being older, when what you look like becomes less and less an issue and what you are is the point"

    Sherry of createology: Your needlepoint ornaments are amazing dear. I would hope that after the Littles enjoy that at Holiday Christmas that these are put away for safe keeping to be enjoyed each year. I adore Arly’s dolls that are so full of character and magical whimsy. I also really like the Crazy Quilt Hearts. Great quote and this is where I am in my journey of life. I do hope you are having a lovely Autumn. P.S. How is Resident Chef after his tumble?

    1. I think their parents will make sure the ornaments are put away for future Christmases. I will tell them that they aren't toys but you never know.
      Resident Chef is motoring much better today. Took back his kitchen so I think he's on the mend.

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.
