Revamped T-Shirts

Two of  my favourite plain t-shirts had cooking oil stains on them - they still looked good otherwise.  So I decided to revamp them with some fabric paint and stencils & stamps.  I am very happy with the results.....

 The finished articles......

 And just for fun here's one of me today , wearing the purple one.....

Wishing you all a happy healthy sunny weekend!
much love

Fibre Arts n Crafts Fair.....

On Saturday 13th April my friend, Linell, and I set off on our "annual" outing to a tiny little town/village called Wakkerstroom. It is a two hour drive from where we live.  The Natural Fibres Fair is held in a small church hall in the middle of town.  It's packed with sellers of natural fibres, natural and handspun yarns, wools, embroidery, sewing, weaving, crochet, knitting and so much more.  A feast of colour and texture.  So much inspiration - it makes your head spin.

 After the Fair we went meandering around the village looking at all their quaint little shops and stopped for lunch in one of  the eateries.

What  a lovely day !!!!

This is what I brought home......

What I would have liked to have brought home too......

PLUS  tons more YARN of course.... :o)

Its weekend again. . .

A little bit of scrap booking inspiration for you.  This is the page I did with my class yesterday.
Its a fun use of smallish scraps of patterned paper and ribbons, lace, ric-rac etc plus some buttons and flowers for fun.....

And here is (part of)  my absolutely gorgeous blessings banner that was a project for my Creative Kismet e-course. I am soooo thrilled with this project.  It was GREAT fun to do and I will definitely be making more of  these!

The grand essentials to HAPPINESS are:

Something to DO

Something to LOVE

Something to HOPE for.

Meet a Special Friend of Mine...

This is my artist/designer friend, Astrid (left) and that's her partner in design, Karen Emma, her sister.
Astrid is a very talented artist and a very BRAVE  young lady.  You can view their designs on www.schwarzie-designs.com and from there take the link to view Astrid's blog.

This is a tiny painting 15cm x 15cm, that I did recently.  Mixed-media on canvass.  (Hope you enjoy this one Astrid!!)

These are two fabric paintings I did ages ago that are still (patiently) waiting to be made into cushions.
