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.

pick, pick, pick.....

 Yes, I'm doing a lot of picking (or unpicking, however you want to look at it) as I try to remove the waste canvas I used to stitch the sky on the landscape.  I wanted to do a sashiko technique so the canvas was necessary to get the stitches even.  I think I regret that particular decision, but too late now!


Sorry about the terrible picture.  It's snowing here - again - and the light is awful.

- THIS is a really amazing quilted heart design - perhaps a little late for this Valentine's Day, but something to keep in mind.

- I thought THIS was interesting (you'll have to scroll down to read the entire article).

- THIS is beautiful!  I don't have a mantel but there are lots of other uses for it.

- I like THIS too - another great gift idea perhaps.

  1. I like the mini purse, and wonder if I should put it on my list..
    About your quotation, yes. Right now I'm scrolling past a lot of crying and wringing of hands among friends. I can't spare the bandwidth just now, using it to keep up my own spirits.

    1. Yes, that mini purse is on my list of possibilities. I agree that there's much conversation about how bad things are but I wonder if the quiet dissent is happening as well. I admire your advocacy - at least you're trying to do something constructive.

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.
