April Ideas

I've been playing around with making some more three dimensional pieces. The tricky part is making my beach hut look suitably weathered! I made some with CAD embroidery but they look a little too perfect if you know what I mean. So now I'm trying stitched and ripped layers of fabric. Then I have to figure out how to attach the beach hut to the beach....

I also think I'm going to get all 'La Di Da' and call them 'Objet D'art' so people know they're not glorified pin cushions!

I'm preparing for a Craft & Design Fair in July at the moment - seems a long way off but I know that 10 weeks will fly by unless I write myself a schedule! How do YOU keep to your plans? I'm already a piece of work down on my target for this week...was I too ambitious - or too easily distracted in a 'My I must clean behind those radiators today' kind of way??

I am trying to get back into an efficient working routine after the Easter holiday. The kids are back in school and so I can now ignore the clutter and the washing up and run away upstairs to the attic to draw and stitch all day...so how come I'm thinking about the housework that needs doing and the dust I can see now the sun has come out?

Today will be spent creating the harbour to go on a large piece so I'd better get on and do it...then I can post a picture of it later on!
