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.

and you know, don't you!

 Yes, you know I will have started on a new landscape and it seems I have at least one more 'Him and Me' lurking in my brain, as you can see from this...



I've had that piece of pre-printed flowers in my stash for ages and couldn't find a use for it - until now.  I plan to add lots of hand stitching over top to give more dimension.  The barn off in the distance is another piece of a panel I've had lurking about.  In case you're thinking the couple are sitting in mid-air, there will be a chain added to complete the swing but that won't happen until the quilting and embroidery are done.

- THIS would be a great use for that skein of laceweight (or sock yarn) that you've had sitting around.  

- I thought THIS was intriguing, but possibly not as a pincushion...perhaps as a display piece to show off pretty little embroideries or special fabrics?

- THESE are pretty and would look nice in my living room.

Today's quote...

  1. swings are one of my favorite things in the whole wide World - this one will be even more fun...

    long ago, when Earth Science was a little soccer-playing boy, i crocheted a soccer ball for him, using white and black yarn - it was hexagons and pentagons, too (which only makes sense) - and had to be donated after it destroyed something breakable (don't remember what, but i was not happy about it, lemmtellya) ... yeah, i'm gonna pass on that one.

    1. Sounds like you had a typical boy - ours had moments like that too.

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.
