Hi everyone...the good news is...the Fiskars samples are finished and after today's photography session will be packed up and on their way to Fiskars HQ with a little help from Mr Parcelforce. I've had loads of "out of my comfort zone" fun with the new products...
lots of stitching...
a little bit of quilting...
making scruffy flowers
decorating a canvas with fabric instead of paper...
making yo-yos...
can you guess what it is yet...
making fabric covered boxes and pin cushions...
and colouring over a hundred pearls with alcohol ink...
made super quick and easy thanks to Tim's top tip...
place the pearls in a plastic cup...add a few drops of Silver Mixative...
cover and shake...voila beautiful shimmery silver pearls...
the sewing machine has worked his socks off and deserves a well earned rest...the ironing board is back where it belongs but before we can enjoy some papercrafting playtime...a major tidy up is required in the "looks like a bomb has landed-fabric everywhere" cubbyhole and let me tell you...Mr Dyson Jnr is not going to be best pleased at the floor strewn with threads instead of the paper debris he's used to.
Best foot forward is our motto...the kettle is on and the cleaning crew are going in.
Hugs Kath xxx
