I had a friend come over to learn how to do freemotion sewing, and so while she was making her one I started making this one.
I made it on Friday and Saturday and sold it to another friend on Sunday so I was really chuffed.
It’s a mixture of vintage doilies, and newer fabrics. I love how with this kind of art you can just mix and match and make up abstract art and it all works no matter what you do 🤍
Below is the newer fabric I used for the houses…
My sewing room…
I love creating ’fussy cutting’ and creating ephemera folders for junk journalling, etc. In fact I’ve said it before, but I think my real hobby is getting organised for my hobbies!
Below is my latest creation made from a small photograph album. I cut velum strips and glued them on with double-sided cellotape.
A strip of washi tape down the side helped create the inspiration for each page colour.

So many pretty vintage doilies and so much time over the holidays … and rain, lots of rain, make for a creative brain.
This is a take on free motion sewing but using embroidery stitching and beautiful lace and embroidered doilies bought at second hand shops.
One off unique design.
Ready for framing or make it to something of your choice like a cushion or journal cover.
34cm x 24.5cm
It’s the holidays and so perfect conditions for sewing…
The bright colours of the doily sitting on my sewing desk kept attracting me so I just had to make something out of it …
It’s so nice to repurpose the old embroideries.

There’s a few more sitting there too 🧵 🪡
I loved this card {CraftersChoice ~ White Meadow} and thought I needed to make something out of it. So I landed on a simple folder.
I wasn’t sure what to put in the folder, but I wanted something that complimented it. Then I came across my lace paper cut outs. Perfect.
Have a nice day!

Recently I created my first pretty printables for journalling and card making. So I thought I would try one and see what I was inspired to make…
My REAL hobby is “getting organised for doing my hobby”! Haha!
Basically I like getting all the little bits and pieces organised and neat and tidy READY for that ONE DAY when I make something!
I ordered a whole lot of pretty stickers from AliExpress … and then had to have something to put them in so I grabbed an address book I had purchased from a second hand shop, ripped out the pages and then used the index tabs to stick on some vellum. Covered the back and front with one of my printables I had made from Public Domain pictures (from Rawpixel.com).

I’ve done a Beach Life fabric art before and totally enjoyed it and felt it was time to do another. A warm but wet day in Maketu, NZ, created the perfect mood …. Oh and a day off!
