day 31 : THE LAST PINK RIBBON DAY !

Today is the last Pink Ribbon day !

After the white full moon

(which I'm delighted to say is going to a dear friend in the US)

I wanted to make another     white    jewel

(and a pendant too)

Technically it's not the very last one

because I still have some jewels to make on special order.

(that's okay with me because it raises the donation

I can make in the end !)

My Pink Ribbon Textile Jewel

for day 31 :

a WHITE  OVAL  pendant,

with a fabric bead and a long adjustable wax cord,

felt, hand stitched with silk, rayon and silver thread,

sequins and many seed beads.

This would look radiant on a little black dress,

or a sweater (of any colour)

This last jewel can be yours,

(to keep or to give away to someone dear)

for a donation of

  € 10  

SOLD  !

(or a bit more)

You just need to tell me in an email :

fiberrainbow@gmail.com

(or in the comments down here)

ALL the money goes to the Pink Ribbon Fund !

 "WHITE  LIGHT" 

While making that last one,

in fact stitching the least few beads :

my nylon thread looped around the tiny box

..................

with this result

GRRRRRRRRRRR

I think most of them are back in the box again,

though I may find a "few" later

day 30

Although it's just minutes ago

I put the jewel for yesterday on this blog

(due to the photo-program troubles)

I have my next one

for today ready

:-)

day 28

A bit confusing :

back to "winter-time"

which means sleeping an hour longer

eating an hour later ...

(always hate this transition :

hope they change it back into ONE time

like it used to be, long ago)

A cold day, but the sun is out.

Good to remember those warm days

in the summer garden :

the humming of insects,

the fluttering butterflies !

day 27

Yesterday

was a bad-back day !

Stitching soooo many seed beads did the trick ...

I know it's because of my posture while stitching

(and overloading my back during garden work this summer)

but it's SO hard to change this !

I realize I'm lopsided in the chair ever so often

when I'm concentrated on my work

and need to correct it again.

Working at the sewing machine

was a better option for today !

My Pink Ribbon Textile Jewel

a FEATHER brooch, fabric and felt, free motion machine stitched

on a denim jacket !

day 26

A special anniversary today.

That's why

I choose to make the jewel with this design.

Daughter and one grandson came to dinner

so there wasn't enough time to finish the jewel before that :

in fact it's not finished even now ...

that leaves a choice

for the buyer !

a pendant

you can choose how I finish

this jewel for YOU.

day 25

(NO, I didn't see that moon last night)
And today

overcast and now and then a fine drizzle ...

AUTUMN weather !

I took out the machine once more :

for another tree.

In the house where we lived before we came here

we had a birch tree, right in front of the house.

Light and airy,

lovely green in spring

and yellow in autumn.

(grrrr ... the people who bought our house

immediately chopped it down :

because of the many flying little seeds)
