Yesterday was the last Children's Holiday Fun session at Chertsey Museum, and today I have been learning to make computer mosaics over at Big Huge Labs, so here is (hopefully) a mosaic of the customising and accessorising that was going on yesterday (more details on the Fun With Fabric blog)
The reason I needed to learn how to make a mosaic, is a Aurifil competition that Lily is hosting - and I would love to win 12 Aurifil threads of my choice. I thought the hard part would be the mosaic, but it was actually choosing the colours!
(It's one of 178 on Flickr at the moment, so I don't much fancy my chances, but I do love the colours!)
On to ooops - can you please make sure that the door is closed, the phone switched off, and there is no-one hiding under the desk or looking over your shoulder . . .as I have been a bad girl!
It's just SO easy.
I sit at the computer, follow a link or two, press a button or two, and then postie arrives and that's when I realise what I did...
From Prints to Polka Dots . . . these yummy fabrics arrived
And I seem to have ordered these from these too
And from Quilt Direct I ordered a felting tool, and some pre-cut paper hexies for these lovely muted greys and purples left over from this project and this project,
And I also got an iPhone 4 cover that is prepared so it can have cross stitch embroidery done to it - now I just need to think of a design for it, and that will be part of Niki's birthday pressie
Have I got enough hiding places?
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Oh I have seen those iPhone cases advertised - I just need the iPhone first!!
