THANK YOU !!!

It took me a week to sort out all the last bits
of my PINK  RIBBON  Challenge of this year.
Though I wasn't very happy at the start
to not being able to do my "every-day-jewel-routine"
in the end it turned out to be the best I could do
(and I must add : I'm not as exhausted now !)
Haha, I just have to adjust to a slower pace it seems !!!

With only the earrings left
(no worries : I myself will be wearing them)
every lovely jewel is gone to their new owner.

So a big
THANK  YOU
for the generous donations for this necessary cause :
finding new treatments for and helping patients
after the diagnose
BREAST CANCER

With a small addition of our own
I will be able to donate

€ 500,-

I hope I will be able to repeat this wonderful result next year

The fun in felting is that you can use old bits
in totally new pieces, with some adjustments.
Though wet felting is still a no-go at the moment

Stitching on felt is sooooo nice !

day 27, number 14

People hardly ever realize
how long it takes to embroider
such small items as my textile jewels
I myself forget it sometimes !

The thin crochet cotton I use for stitching now and then
(in stead of DMC embroidery floss)
is a bit too thick for fine needles.
So I pull off one of the three plies.
A bit awkward to do but I like the thinner thread better.
But like all threads, while working,
it starts to crinkle and form knots which you have to untangle
before you can pull the stitch tight.
Hmmmm
but I always get there in the end !!!
