My desk on this horrid rainy day, thank goodness for my SAD light!
My scrapping has taken a back burner somewhat.
However I did make this tag for a SWAP on the theme of "Faces"
In return I received this quite delightful take on the theme.
About Me
- BJ
- Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Faith/Art Journaling too. I've challenged myself to make an art journal page a day for this my 60th year. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like walking/Geocaching and sometimes do a bit of Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

Hi BJ, your embroidery is amazing! I'm not surprised your thumb is aching. Hazel Blomkamp, in her book 'Hand Stitched Crazy Patchwork' advises that we put a dot of super glue on the tip of the finger, hold the finger in the air for a few minutes to let it dry. It will be rock hard then and that should prevent the needle from doing more damage. She says it peels off in a few hours. She also says to "ignore the neurotics who predict dire health problems, They're wrong. I've used it for years and I'm fine." I haven't tried it yet because I use a thimble. I've just received the A-Z of Embroidery Stitches today so I should be able to learn a lot of new stitches now. Have a great week. Elizabeth x #30
PS: yes, it was food poisoning caused by the mushrooms - bought from a local supermarket. Needless to say, I will never, ever, eat another mushroom again!
what a beautiful embroidery... I am impressed. and the paper cutting is also nice! Have a lovely day.
Groeten uit Nederland.
I am more impressed by your embroidery every time I see it. Love the tag too. It is a miserble day isn't it. Sarah #26
Hi BJ. That embroidery is stunning - well done. The tag is fun - and yes, an unusual take on the theme you received there - but gorgeous.
Take care. God bless.

Your embroidery is stunning - I love the arrangement of the colours and there is so much to keep looking at in it. The paper wreath is lovely, I'm trying to figure out if it's one die or several die cuts put together, but however it's done it is fabulous!
Hope you have a good week,

Your embroidery is amazing! I never thought embroidery could be so creative - there's so much to look at in that piece! It was dark and rainy here too earlier too but now it's blue skies and sunshine! I went for a walk in the rain, cause I couldn't wait to get out and get some fresh air! Hope you have a good week! zsuzsa #22
