day 31, the last PINK RIBBON day

Today my "Pinktober Challenge" ends :
day 31
(and many other things can be celebrated on this day)

You might think that I feel a bit relieved
and to be honest I am.
But I can also say that I'm a bit sad that it all ends here.
Though not quite
because there are a few commissions to make
so the end-total will still have to wait a bit.
But don't worry : I'll let you all know !

I enjoyed my felting and stitching journey
these past 31 days and I will end
with little "firecracker" in red !

Here is my  PINK  RIBBON Textile Jewel
for day 31 :

a wet felted egg-shape donut brooch, stitched with cotton and gold

and a few sequins and seed beads
(6 x 4cm,  2.4 x 1.6")

day 30

The little green circle lay waiting for some days.
I just pick the one that speaks to me most at that moment.
Not many left, so the choice was easy.
And just when I was finished stitching
and taking the pictures
. . . .
 a robin sat on the pergola 
No, he didn't wait till I had my camera ready
but I think he/she wanted to say
that I did the right thing !

The hustle and bustle of yesterday
made way for a more relaxed stitching today,

"BLUE  LAGOON"

Only four more days to find here
a PINK RIBBON Textile Jewel !

day 26 (and an anniversary)

 LATE !

On this very special October day
 there were sooo many things to do
and apart from that
we didn't even have a celebration
what we normally would have on this anniversary day !

Fixing my hair (oh yes, that takes a while)
making a nice dinner for tomorrow for seven (or eight) people
and of course (like a normal Pinktober day)
stitching my textile jewel.
(and taking photo's in very bad light because the clock went back an hour)

For our anniversary I chose a little heart
of felt and silk.

For the jewel I choose brown felt.
When you  mix all the colours on your palette you get brown.

Some might say what a drab colour,

but for me that isn't true at all :

 BROWN 
 is the colour of the earth 
 of skin 
 of soft fur 
 of chocolate and coffee 
 of old leaves that will nourish in spring 
 of a long, quiet and true love 
 brown is nice ! 

I opt for a pendant on a long cord . . .
or should it be a brooch ?
Well, that is for later :
I think that can be decided by the person who buys it !

My PINK  RIBBON  Textile Jewel
for day 26 :

a little felt heart with silk on the backside, pendant or brooch ?
stitched with silk, linen, cotton and rayon
and many seed beads

(4,5cm,  1.8")

For a donation of
(at least)

 € 20,- 

SOLD !

or for someone close to you !

day 25

 The ginkgo tree in our garden
is slowly turning from green to gold.
Since last year I know it is 
a "she-tree"
It took her probably about thirty-five years to mature.
But last year she bore fruit for the very first time !
You can't eat them, some even say they stink when crushed,
but I think it's great
a "MOTHER  TREE"

I just read the most wonderful book by Suzanna Simard
about the wisdom of the forest :
"Finding the Mother Tree"

day 22

What I like about making jewels
is the endless possibilities
in shape, colour and stitch.
Most of the time even I don't know
how it will turn out in the end.
I often spend a lot of time deciding what colour combo
will be the best for that particular felted item.
And yes, more than once stitches are unpicked
and made again in another way !

 We are happy
to have lots of birds visiting our garden.
Although small there are trees and shrubs
where birds can hide and forage.

give you a low-maintenance garden : poor insects and birds !)
We LOVE the birds that visit here !
