An oops and progress

 I've been working on the latest in my little landscape series and the eagle-eyed among you will maybe notice that his shirt colour has changed.  The first version blended in too much with the water.  That was a minor oops but a bigger one happened when I added the organza over the water area and the iron touched it when I was fusing the 'new' shirt and....horrors....melted it.  That's the first time that has ever happened and I've used the same process before.  I rather wonder if my iron is wearing out.  At any rate, I appliqued a bit more of the organza on top of the offending area and will end up embroidering plants over top to blend it in.  Gives me an excuse to do more embroidery!


- I never would have thought of doing THIS with quilts!

- Have a peek at the amazing creations of THIS incredible artist.

- There's a lot of links HERE to some crochet summer tops,  some of which are really nice.

- Of course you know I enjoyed seeing some of THESE!

- Pour yourself a cuppa and go through the galleries of THIS incredible artist!  Be sure to check out her wearables too.

Today's quote isn't a quote per se, but something I wanted to share...

    1. Thank you. As for the bees we have to do whatever we can to protect them because our lives depend upon it.

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.
