Busy Week


We've been painting and embroidering on tyvek at my machine embroidery class using tulips as our inspiration. I was supposed to be learning how to do granite stitch but it looks more like scribble, lol. Still that's why I'm in a class, to learn. Then the tutor suggested I try writing my name. It's not easy but I was really pleased it's readable if not the most smooth writing, must practise, practise, practise!

Finally finished and delivered my friends wedding invitations. Here are a selection.



Whilst ripping up a vintage song book for the invitations I came across a song called 'Billy Boy' and I think the description is quite apt for my own Billyboy, lol.

Here he is having a well earned rest. It's a hard life being an inquisitive young cat don't you know! Purrs till next time.....

  4. I really like the invitations...such an original idea. Each one is very special.
    And as for Billy Boy, that fast and well-marked lad, he looks VERY comfy on that pretty quilt :-)
