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.

Cracks in my decking?

 Yes, there's nearly six hours of stitching on the deck boards in this landscape - and they're still not done.  I took a photo and I'd be willing to bet you can barely SEE the stitching

For context, the single board tucked up beneath the chair hasn't been stitched yet.  Yes, your Magpie is obsessed and some would say quite looney.  Methinks they might not be far wrong!

- If you live in the US, perhaps you might like to take part in THIS project.

- Have a peek through the galleries of THIS incredible artist!

- If you're planning to do any preserving over the next while and thinking about giving some of it as gifts, perhaps you'd like to add THESE.

- THIS looks like it would be such fun to try!

Today's quote is by William Wilson (sorry, but I might have shared this one before?)..."We are living in a day where people are proud of what they should be ashamed of"

  1. You are right about my not seeing the stitches--BUT you know they're there and they please you, so that is what really counts in the end, right? I am happy to hear that I am not the only (obsessed??) one who does stuff like that;)))

    1. I like to add the texture of the stitching onto the 'boards' because then they (hopefully) look more realistic. Really wish that texture showed up better in the picture though.

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.
