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.

A service announcement and an update

 First of all, for those Canadians who read this blog and are searching for Canadian made products, check out THIS link.  As far as I know, all their products are made here.  I buy their hand sanitizer all the time and plan to branch out into some of their other products as we need replacements.

There has been some progress on the landscape, namely the embroidered 'grasses' in front of the tractor, the addition of the birds and the little fox, and some snowflakes.   DONE!!!

Introducing 'INSIDE, LOOKING OUT'

FOR SALE!

Based on this photo by Dale Stewart,
and used with his always kind permission...

And here are a couple closeups so you can see the details...



Sorry about the glare on this one but I hoped to show you the picture frame.  Hopefully clicking to embiggen will help?!

- I thought THESE were cute ideas for a really quick gift for someone.  

- I love denim so of course THIS caught my eye.

- THESE are just too cute for words!

      There wasn't as much in the way of hand embroidery on this one (at least if you don't count the sashiko stitching on the sky) so it went a little faster.

    Cutest little critters scattered about.

      I stumbled across the little fox when I was hunting for something else in my stash and he wanted to be included so who was I to say no!

    Thanks for that link. I have been thinking about starting a skin care routine and those prices really are not too bad at all. Love the little fox.

    God bless.

      You're welcome! I've ordered from them before (they're the only ones who seem to have a hand sanitizer I can use without breaking out).

    It's fantastic Mary Anne - I love how you did the snow, with the varying lines and trapunto. Absolutely beautiful effects! The tiny pieced border is also delightful - a lot of work I should think, but so perfect here. Another beauty done!

      Thank you! The pieced border was hopefully showing the brick on the outside of the window. I'm not sure how successfully I managed to do the peeling wallpaper but hopefully it works.

      Thank you Joy! I'm not a fan of real snow but don't mind playing with it in fabric.

    I thought I had commented on this post some time ago but maybe I dreamt it...anyway, I really love how you did the snow(s).

      I didn't see a previous comment Quinn so perhaps it's plugging the hole in the ozone layer?

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.
