Good resolution!

Well  the intention was there - just didn't keep up beyond January!  Not too much happening on the papercrafting front just now as I have been doing more sewing and busy with family things.  Just managed a couple of ATC swaps and that is about the sum of it!  I am off on holiday soon so hopefully when I get back I can get going again!!

New Year - new post

After being absent for a while I have decided that a new year is a good time to decide to make regular blog posts.  In an effort to regain my creative mojo which seems to have deserted me of late!

Here is a tryptich ATC done for a Flickr swap - the theme is altered heads and I decided to use one of my favourite ladies for this card.  I am sure this lady with the ermine had a wild side!

More ATCs

Here are the doll ATCs mentioned in the last post and also some more using stitching and embellished fibres:

ATCs again

It is ages since I made ATCs so I decided to get back into doing a few trades. I uploaded to flickr and will post on here soon as I get organised. The doll swap was very interesting as it consisted of an ATC sized doll with moving arms and legs so she could fold up! I was quite happy with the results and am now working on a chocolate theme!!!

At last - took me long enough to get myself organised!! Well I have been on holiday. A lovely week in North Wales with glorious weather. We managed a visit to Portmeirion and really enjoyed it - lots of inspiration so maybe a few new projects in the offing!

Here are a few of the ATCs I have done but still not doing many as I am concentrating on other things.

New projects

Well so much for my intention of keeping this blog up to date!! I just keep on finding more and more projects I want to do and never have time to do them all!!!!!

I signed up for the She Art Workshop with Christy Tomlinson at Scarlet Lime and reallly enjoying the projects. Only problem is I would rather do that than everything else - including all the chores etc. so it is all a bit mad at the moment. Here are my first few canvases - I am sort of hapy with a couple of things and not so happy about others so lots to do yet

New blog

I have recently started a new blog www.needledoodles.blogspot.com
this is mainly to feature my textile and mixed media pieces so I hape you will stop by to visit.
I intend to continue with this blog also provided I can devote the time!

Back to papercrafting

After a few projects involving stitching I have just completed a new papercraft project for a swap on one of the Flickr Groups. The challenge was to create a French inspired fan. So think Moulin Rouge, Eiffel Tower and here we go.

I used some stamps I bought a few weeks ago and had not had the opportunity to use so this was a good project to try them out!
