DU2DS Stitching and Ha! Out of the mouths of babes and fools!

This weeks challenge at DU2DS is 'stitching'  I thought I'd use the theme literally and stitch something so made this little wardrobe smelly using Christine's lovely rose heart image.


I printed the image onto canvas and painted it with TH inks using the pink colours. then made the pocket stitching the embroidered hearts around the edge. It has a perfumed pocket inside which I perfumed with rose essential oils and is now hanging in my wardrobe.


Just a short post this week as I have to schedule this while I am away at a craft retreat in Claxby with some of the most special crafters and friends.  

Be back on Monday so in the meantime pop over to the DU2 blog and have a look at the wonderful work of the rest of the team, and maybe even enter the challenge. I really enjoyed stitching this week, hope you do too!

Ha Out of the mouths of babes and fools!

Having to add this just as the DU2DS challenge was posted cos that ever so lovely Isabelle over at The Craft Barn has posted more samples for the Shaped card Challenge so I thought I'd better 
show you my second shaped card or she might shout at me!


I cut the shape on the robot crop and used this lot to make it!

Now I really am off!
Bye!
