A New Year - a new me?

Well that, albeit early, New Year's resolution didn't last long, did it?   It has now been over a fortnight since I added a post.   What can I say?   I did go away for New Year and, of course, there was a lot of catching up to do when I came back.   I will say, though, that I haven't been idle - I've done lots of reading of those lovely books I was given for Christmas and I promise I will get round to trying some of the new techniques they describe.

In the mean time I've made a couple of lovely felt scarves, one red/orange based and one blue/green.   I am particularly happy with the red/orange one,  it's not a colour combination that I often use - I stick to the old favourites green/blue/purple - but I am really pleased with it and hope to use that combination or variations of it more often in the future.

I have also finished a canvas.  It is a mixture of gossamer felt and hand and machine embroidery on pale green silky fabric.   I have just got to mount it so, hopefully in the next blog, I'll post a photo.

I've started to make another scarf, not felt this time.   It's reversible, made of woollen fabric lined with an embroidered taffeta and it is mostly rust and brown, another seldom used colour combination for me - so perhaps there is a new me in there somewhere!!!  .
