Hello,  Long time since I last  added to my blog.  What an eventful year 2012 turned into being.

March saw us enjoying a long earned break on the Gold Coast followed by 10 days around Margaret River and Albany with family.

At this time  the Motel which was placed on the Market Christmas 2011  had an offer which continued on into August with us finally selling .  We now live in Waubra about 15 mins from Wendouree, Ballarat.  Country living has been a good sea change so to speak.

 Closer to family and friends.  Christmas spent at our house with family was tinged with  sadness, my 94 yr old father passing away on Boxing Day.

Robin is now working at a local Car Dealership as a Service advisor leaving here at 6.30 am and returning around 6ish each evening.

It's now time to make a start back on my many crafts .

Project 2

This is the piece I created for my Folio piece, Project 2 Machine Embroidery , Warrnambool TAFE. I have used cutback, applique and free machining. Fabrics used are printed chinese satin, plain satins and silk .

Using Solvy

Have used techniques from a Jan Beany book to create this piece by laying pieces of yarn and fabric between two layers of solvy before adding using free machining to create flowers and leaves.
