Apart from making felt myself
I also love my stash of industrial woolen felt,
such nice colours to choose from !

I found a piece of a lovely petrol colour
and after stitching a heart shape with silk, cotton and beads
I discovered a snippet of fabric
that went with the colour of the front so well . . .
Then choosing threads for the cord
and outside in the garden to take pictures
(Hmmmm : it DIDN'T all happen as fast as I write it down here !)

a heart

This year hasn't begun quite well for Man : pneumonia is a nasty business !
Two courses of penicillin were needed to make a start in healing
Ever so slowly he is getting better now
(with a setback on some days)
Again we see what a precious thing
good health is !!!

After all the felting last month
it was time to pick up stitching again :
so many wonderful ideas in STITCH CLUB !

This little heart is for the workshop of
Chloe Patience

Stitching with so much texture is really fun !
(it seems that January 25 is "St. Dwynwens day in Wales :
the equivalent of Valentine's day   :-)  !) 

It is only a small work
because the two weeks are almost over
and I'm still busy with some bigger work
from April Sproule's workshop.
That gets bigger than I thought it would
(I added another strip of cloth on the outside !)
I will show that when I'm really finished with it

day 15

Cleaning, decluttering
(soooo much stuff of the workshops still lying around)
helping with Man's food preparations
AND stitching

Late but here it is !
