Penny and I have been playing today!
We have been using up the scraps....you know how I hate to throw any little bits away....
We've had such fun......lots of chatting, drinking coffee, sewing..
Being inspired by Anna Treliving....thank you Anna.....
This is just the start.....a little embroidery? Note to self, learn some stitches....
Oh the joys.....creating with friends.......
Have a Super Duper Weekend....bye!
Ada :) x
p.s. Need to learn about circles on Etsy, then I can 'add' people to them, it's all a new world to me.....if you've added me to your 'circle', thank you! I'll add you to mine....when I work it out! x x x

Looking good Ada... I found a great book from the early 80's yesterday Embroidery by Byksynia Marko ... like you I want to learn some stitches!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a printer I'd send you some pages... could send you some photos?
Don't worry! I will look out for that book, there's always Yuo Tube! :) x
DeleteSo beautiful and I love all the pretty colors and doilies!! Have a lovely weekend! xo Heather

Now there's an idea, once I learn of course!! :) x
DeleteThis is pretty! I thought of you earlier when I got a turquoise 1970s flowery bed sheet in a charity shop - can't wait to play with it!
ReplyDeleteAnna x
Let me see what you do! :) x
DeleteCute little creation Ada! I always begrudge throwing scraps out and have bags of them.
ReplyDeleteSome kind person added me to an etsy circle the other day but I have no idea what it's about!

Looks truly fantabulous - just up my street...I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteps. I also keep all my scraps - you should see my overflowing bags and baskets!
I know exactly what you mean! :) x
DeleteSo sweet Ada, I love collecting ideas of what to do with all my scraps - for when I have a moment or two! Etsy circles are good because when you're in someone's circles you can see what they've been 'favouriting' and they can see yours - so you find out about sellers that you didn't know about before and they find out about you! I'm only just getting the hang of it, and i still haven't opened my shop...oh well, that's a job for the New Year now! Have a lovely weekend. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel, I thought it might be along them lines! I will have a go at making my own circles soon! You've got young children, everything takes time, you'll get there soon! :)
DeleteWhat a pretty way of using scrap fabric pieces..it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend :)

Lovely picture Ada ... I'm not sure about circles either ... I have been shopping on etsy for ages but was just having a play this evening with their treasury feature ... I think you just need to jump in and have a go ... best way to learn ... Bee xx
ReplyDeleteI think so too Bee, nothing ventured nothing gained! :) x
DeleteLovely stuff! recycled/re purposed art is the best! :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! :) x
Deletewow!!!! love it!!!
ReplyDeletexxxx happy weekend, Ale
Love it.
ReplyDeleteI am in a few circles and I have added a few, I think it's just a way of getting to know about other sellers and them getting to know about you a sort of friends of friends type thing.
Hve a great weekend
:-)
your play have worked so well, and you are now learning stitches, more hours in the day are needed for you, there are lots of books with stitches in, I should know I seem to have most of them!!
ReplyDeleteThat is realy cute Ade - what a great idea for scraps! x
ReplyDeleteLove a play date! There's something so nice about creating with someone else. I love making christmas cards with my best friends and now it has become a bit of a tradition, just something we have to do together!
ReplyDeleteClaire
It's great when crafty souls get together! All sorts of things happen! :) x

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVictoria xx
I would be the same - could'nt throw anything out. Have a blissful weekend! xo
ReplyDeleteWow! I love them!! In fact I think I like this scrappy look better than the bigger pieces in the quilts. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Ada, I love all the colours together and the bits of crochet and lace too. x
ReplyDeleteHi Ada, they're lovely! so nice to craft with someone. I will have to give it a try of course!! Heather x
ReplyDeleteYes you must! It actually looks better than on the photos! :) x
DeleteHow wonderful it is to hangout and create with friends! I also don't like to throw any small scraps away. I got into my scraps tonight to work on some projects and they worked out perfectly! I had so many colors to pick from! Love that! :)
ReplyDeleteAre you going to pop a picture on your blog, would love to see what you've come up with! :) x
DeleteWhat a great way to spend a day ;o) Just do projects, talk and laugh! And the result was charming.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Ada....
ReplyDeleteA great way to spend time with a friend!!
Love Maria x
So darling...I am loving your little creation...sigh...wish you lived closer..I would have you over for tea and you could teach me how to make these. Happy new week my friend.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for scraps. I can't get rid of any either, just tied a long one around my giveaway prize. mel x
