Mad Merceria

 This is my local Merceria (thats the spanish name for a haberdashery shop)
It's a crazy shop stacked with boxes of goodies.
It's quite hard to
a- find anything
b- wait to be served the Spanish way and not rummage too much

 But I did manage to feed my addiction for colourful ric rac, ribbons and pom pom trim - here are my goodies from this visit.

Colourful Christmas

Wishing you all a very wonderful and colourful Christmas ♥

New Textile Collages

I have had a huge tidy up of my workspace,
I'm not a great fan of tidying but it was great to sort out my stash of fabrics,
felt, trims and ribbons. Best of all it was sooooo inspiring!!

I gathered all my best, most rainbowy bits bits and bobs and a nice little blank canvas to work on.
*Look away now if you are one of those people who don't like animals near work places

This super cute kitten *appeared* in my garden a few days ago, and is following me round like a shadow! It was desperate to get in on the rainbow making action!! had to get a photo of it before it was banished  : )

So lots of cutting a sewing were done, and I love the results. I will be working on a lot more textile collages over the winter.

Live for Today!

I love positive quotes, so I thought I would try my hand at using one of my own photos with these words. 

The photo of my hanging hearts was taken at Healing Ibiza at Atzaro, against a perfect Ibiza blue sky!  Not too bad for my first try - what do you think?

Felted Art - With Added Positiveness

 Just wanted to share a couple of new felt canvases I have made - both with added positiveness!! They are both made from the same piece of rainbow felt, which is mainly Merino wool, but full of added sparkles, silk fibres, ribbons and yarns. They were then stitched in gold thread, one with "all you need is love" and the other with "live the life you love" two of my favourite affirmations.

 All you need is love ♥

Live the life you love ♥

I love positive words and quotes and really want to start collecting some pieces of art with lovely words (better start writing that Christmas list!) 
 

I have a board on Pinterest called lets get positive, I love...... Pinterest it's super addictive!

 I like to share a positive quote on my facebook page on monday mornings, it helps me start the week with positive words and I hope it helps other people get in a good frame of mind too : )

Fab Flea Markets

I've had a wonderful weekend mainly full of Flea market shopping - my favourite! I found all these lovely woolen jumpers which will be felted and upcycled into something fab like this cloud pillow, one I made from my last batch of woolen jumpers, some funky handmade felt and fringe trim.

Ok, I did buy a few things for me...the jumper at the top of the pile is mine and I managed to grab myself a wonderful pair of fringed ankle boots, well it is getting a bit autumnal here : )
