Treasures

Yesterday was fab and full of treasures; I won Chris's Love Challenge and I got a package of beautiful things from Rosie. My turquoise ipod nano plus a book on ATCs arrived from Amazon. I got a package of Kaffe Fassett fabric which I'd ordered from ebay and I had delivery of some t-shirt transfer paper!
Rosie and I did 3 mermaid swaps plus 2 others. I love her ATCs but she also made me a hanging mermaid with a glitzy crackle glaze fishtail and fabulous hooters. It is wonderful. (Sorry, but I love the word 'hooters').

I haven't had a spare minute to look at my new book yet, but am hoping to spend some time with it tomorrow.

The ipod is a special present to myself because its my fav colour and I've always wanted one.

I am having a go with the t-shirt transfer paper because I want to put images onto fabric.It worked really well! Here are some of my frst attempts. Looking forward to using them in my ATCs etc.

I'm a lucky girl!

Hopefully have some work to show tomorrow.

Lucky me!

Today I became the proud owner of a Baumcat quilt!



It is so beautiful, so neat..and lovely to touch.
I'm thrilled with it (in case you hadn't noticed).
Have a look at the latest quilt on her blog - I want that one too!
I'm happy to say she used one of my favourite quotes from my blog.
Thank you Cat - I'll be having another look on your etsy shop very soon!




Thank you also Sesga for saying such nice things about the present I sent you. I'm so glad you liked it.

Off now to make more mermaid ATCs. Sesga says I may have been one in an earlier life! What a lovely thought.......but my swimming's not that good.............

Mermaids

Doing a bit of collage today - and experimenting with another new stamp. Just wish the face didn't keep reminding me of Nicole Kidman.
The one above is for a swap. Hope they like it.

I'm using stamps, angelina fibres, gold net, ribbon and vintage fish clip art from here (thanks for that link Chris).

Oh well...back to the chocolate.....and maybe more mermaids.

'A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Chose him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed, and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.'

(Can't remember where I got that from!)

Hugs
