Giant Fabric Book

Good Morning All

As some of you may know I have not been too good.

I am finding it hard to craft or do anything at present but I am trying to force myself to do things, even housework, swimming and blogging.

Hence, I thought I would show this Fabric Book I made before I went to UK in June.

It is rather large as it is made from a pillowcase.

This is the completed item.

I bought a quilt cover and one pillowcase from a charity shop for afew euros.

This is the pillowcase, folded and I made two lots with it so there are four pages in my book.

This will be the outside, covered with lace, see pics further down.

I folded it up so that I had pockets too.

This is a tray cloth that I edged with binding to give it strength to make another pocket on the other page.

Then I just added as much or a litlle embellishments as I wanted - doilies, hand crochet, broderie anglais trim, lace, dazzlers etc.

I finally sorted through all my charms and put them on put them on large safety pins and pinned them in.

Then added Stick Pins and Embellishments I have made.

It is rather large, about A4 size but I love it and it takes pride of place on my coffee table in my craft room, ready for when I want to browse for embellishments.

Mojo Gone

Good Morning All

Some of you may know that I have not been too good and the consequence is that my crafting mojo has up and gone.

When I dont want to craft I know things are bad.

I,m still not feeling too good but trying to force myself to do some stuff.

I am only posting this to let you know why I have not been visiting your blogs as much as I normally do, I,m not enjoying blogging as I usually do so please forgive me.

I have a couple of orders to complete so I will have to shift myself soon.

*********

Nothing crafty to show you but here is a couple of pics in the mean time.

Lorien took Hollie and Tess to the petting farm on Friday, Hollie looks so happy.

This is Noah, such a happy boy and so much fun.
