envelopes !

Oh, how I lóve these mysterious envelopes 

that arrive in the mail from time to time !

Today I recieved my  sunny

felting-exchange piece

Yellows, greens and a bit of turquoise

and lots of sparkling yellow beads,

it's so much fun this felting-exchange !!!

And always there's some lovely card with it

that tells a bit of the "making-of" or the "why"

Thank you, Titia !

(do you really own these Blue Faced Leicester sheep ???)

I looooove those curls ... 

ha, probably because I have some curls of my own :

feather (curls) flock together !

In the afternoon I continued on my SUN-stitching

that I started yesterday.

There's already a lot more ... (a face)

but I didn't take a picture just now, because there isn't enough light anymore.

The embroidery thread on the left and on the far right 

came in the mail on Saturday.

It's very glossy hand painted rayon I bought from Emma in France.

She sells some wonderful things quilters and stitchers can use !

The colours are so gorgeous,

but working with it isn't very simple 

it curls up and tangles very easy,

but the luster is awesome !!! 

The deep purple and red is handpainted "Aurifil" cotton 

daughter gave me last September 

when she went to the "Handwerkbeurs" (Fair)

The two little bundles down in the middle

are silk thread that I used to bundle up 

my onion skin eco-dyeing try.
