day 3 : number 2

A quiet day yesterday allows me
to stitch again today.
I have four big drawers packed full with mostly fat quarters
(sometimes a bit more) sorted by colour.
Most of my fabric is solid-coloured or with small patterns
but some have more recognizable images.
This cat-fabric I have in two colourways.
I LOVE cats !!!

Here is my PINK RIBBON Textile Jewel
number 2 :

a fabric (cotton, silk, poly-felt) pendant,
stitched with cotton, rayon and a few seed beads

on an adjustable cord
(4 x 8cm,  1.5x 3")

 "FIRE  FLOWER" 

Only three more days left
for finding your own beautiful
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 !

day 21

day 14

 Ohhh how time flies
when you're looking back
. . . . .
There are things you don't have to do anymore
things you can't do anymore
things you can still do.
One experiences many changes because of old age,
but, we're still enjoying the fun !

For today I have made a very "busy" animal :
taking good care, so there will be something to eat in winter,
hiding treasures for "later"

day 7

 For today I switched from brooch to necklace.

again from Judit Pócs :
to capture a coffee capsule inside the felt.
It gives an elegant, one-of-a-kind jewel !

   DRUM  ROLL   

€  900,-

without a Textile Jewel !)

for this, sadly very necessary, cause !

day 31, the last PINK RIBBON Day !

Because I was stitching this morning
on the VERY  LAST (RED) jewel of this month
I thought it was indeed a RED day.

When I stand before the closet and look what to wear that day
I often have a feeling about what colour I should wear.
It can be "definitely not that one"
or, this colour or that one . . .
but today I was totally sure it was RED
(hmmm, though I don't have a "middle" name
when I would have . . . it should be "Colour" :
you can see it in my art, my clothes and even my shoes !)

day 30

. . . and now, the end is near . . .

It is the penultimate day of the month
which means the second to last Textile Jewel that will be here this time.

The colours of my last felted circle were so spring-like
that I couldn't help but respond to it !!!
Besides
we here have autumn
but the southern part of earth
celebrates spring !
(don't know if they have Bluebells over there
but that equals "spring" to me)

Here is my PINK RIBBON Textile Jewel

another felt circle and some seed beads,
