When Creativity Strikes....

I can't help myself

 when it comes to certain things that I love...

...like tiny old keys ~

 

what will I do with them?

make jewelry or scissor fobs?

perhaps include them in some sort of finished needlework project?

 

wherever they end up ~

I'm sure it will be the perfect spot for them...

...for now I am enjoying them in my sewing room

on my worktable.

 

I have gathered up some wools too...
in my favorite soft shades of bone, moss & pumpkin spice ~

what will these become, I wonder...

 

 

 

also played in my vast stash of cotton fabrics and found these to work with:

 B L A C K S

 B R O W N S   and  M U S T A R D S

 maybe line a few old baskets with them?

make a small quilt?

Autumn creativity has struck!

I'm also stitching up the last model for the
Little Stitches Handwork Club of 2013...

it will release early October and is aptly named:

"Thankhallowmas"

 



beginning of the last 2013 club model,
"Thankhallowmas"

with this design,
I've incorporated Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving & Christmas all-in-one...

it's primitive and simple ~ reminds me of an old holiday postcard a bit...

I'll share more snaps as my progress continues ~

 

 If you are a member of our Little Stitches Handwork Club and

plan to keep playing along for 2014,

you'll need to renew your membership with me...

you can do that by emailing me at

needle thread & linen...

 ~ A N D ~

I made a bunch of paper feathers the other day to fill some of my ironstone pitchers...

I was inspired to make some by my visit to Kathy's house a couple of weeks ago ~

 

here are some of mine:

old book script, sheet music, and scrapbooking papers

 aren't they awesome?

...love how they look below:

 

 

 

gave a bunch to Hannah for her little apartment,

and gave a bunch to Miss Flea for her big house.
