Little Art Works And Me

Painting in sketch book
Embroidery on felt

Dusted!


Today I actually did some dusting, I know it's amazing when I have so much stitching and painting to do!
Here I am on the mantle piece , yes the black and white photo!
Taken about 1969.

Not sure I'm brave enough to show a picture now, but maybe I should as I'm only going to look less young the longer I leave it.
Note I say less young, sounds better than older!
Now I know I'm getting older, when my thirteen year old daughter comes home with her new purchase ....Leg Warmers! they are all the rage apparently.


I have been working on this small art piece 8cm x 8cm approx.
My larger embroideries take months of work so I'm trying out different ideas using my paintings as inspiration.
What do you think?
I may add a few to etsy and see if any one would be interested.
I will be working on some ideas from this painting next.
So hope to have some thing new to show you soon.
It's been raining here most of the day so a good day to be creative.
Bye for now.x

Omigod...as mimilove says, '...people will see me and cry...FAME!!' Aaaarrrgghh...the memories! Oh, I was the last person who should have worn the things! They do, however, look great on the gorgeous young things of today...gggrr.
