The fabric shop in town is closing down
so I bought a few bargain goodies -
the music score stamp was reduced by ten pounds !
I love the floral fabric &
already had a scrap of the sprigged one in a green colourway.
I bought some new thread as a friend is going to teach me
how to use mum's old Singer sewing machine
( haven't touched one since school needlework lessons ! )


The little Santas look quite vintage &
the stencil stickers pretty
Then I went to the art shop
& bought some


GOLD LEAF !!!
FAB.
I might be using some of these bits' bobs
in Carole's tutorial
( see previous post )
which I'm really looking forward to

  9. I'm already loving your blog and I just "met" you through kiwicarole's class! Love the sheet music fabric and the little santas. Are those square doilies in the background? I've never seen fabric? paper? in such a form.

    Love your swaps, too.

  10. Hi Jan from Wyoming - I can't get to your Blog !
    The music is a lovely printing stamp & the lace paper -stencils for greetings cards I suppose - I shall cut them up into smaller pieces. I may try to use them as Stencils but they are delicate - I just liked that they look like lace.

    Nice to meet you - enjoy the class !
