Wk 24, Wk 25 and Wk 26......

Time to catch up, these were quickly done,Prompt for Documented Life  Wk24 was " Use book pages of text pages".  I used a book I had used for cleaning my brayer while gelli printing.  Then collaged  a die cut from another page.

Wk 25 was "Cover your page in hearts".  I again yurned to gelli prints which I had already collaged amd put them through the Sizzix to produce hearts galore, which in turn were collaged to another print.

Wk 26 "Add a bible verse that inspired you - or a line from a favourite book.  This kind of thing stops me in my tracks but then me old favourite came to mind. A A Milne's "Now we are Six".

Looking forward to the Wimbledon Men's Final and of course I will be glued to the Tour de France for the next three weeks.I am so full of admiration for the stamina of these men  3,664 kilometres in 3 weeks with onbly two rest days.    Hoping that everything goes well in Yorkshire, especially in Sheffield(DH's home town). I was tempted to go to London on Monday but decided, being a bit vertically challenged,  I would probably be better off with the TV, miss the atmosphere though. We watched it go through the last time it was in England and after a very long wait it went through in the blink of an eye, won't forget it though. This year, particularly,  I will watch it with my brother in mind.  It was he who introduced me to the sport and he loved it.  I will miss having him to answer my questions.

Sun, moon and stars....

The course with Jude has come to an end and I shall miss her daily "whisperings". It was fascinating and thought provoking, I loved it. This little piece (about 8" square) is what I have made on the theme but a lot of other stitching has gone on too. As my forward birthday present to myself I have signed up for a series starting in July, how could I resist something called "Cloth Whispering/The Magic Diaries."
That is my hand sewer taken care of and this months Workshop on the Web speaks to the mixed media child in me. Lynda Monk and Gina Ferrari have articles which require investigation and experiment.

I have decided that watching Andy Murray is akin to watching Dr Who, it is so nerve wracking you need to watch it from behind the sofa.
