silver disco - candy wrapper purse

update - click on the candy wrapper link below or in the sidebar to see other photos of candy wrapper craft

I have finally collected enough recycled wrappers to finish the purse!!



Update: i have more photos of other projects - click on the candy wrapper purse tag below

and then...

As light relief I have started on the next candy wrapper item - or crisp packets actually - as they seem to work best - and I like the silver better than the multi coloured for this one.

 a candy wrapper purse - the prototype worked out pretty well - it's very tactile and surprisingly soft and squashy

What a week!!

The main thing tonight is that I'm tired so I've put on these socks


and put my feet up.. how can't I feel better wearing these?

Attic windows

I started a new project after the big clean. My inspiration was Attic windows from this book




I think the orange border really sets it off nicely –

eeek !

Good day for drying

Quilting and Stuff

I'm just starting this blog as others have inspired me with their works. So if you find anything that makes you move on to that next piece - please share....

This quilt is a work in progress - I am at the DECISION stage -is it finished? or what/where to quilt? - I'm thinking of quilting patterns in each of the white squares - but i sort of like it plain. I think i will leave it for a day or 2 and leave it laid out - maybe that will help?
