My Creative Space

My Creative Space has been invaded by colds and flus in the past week, but I've still managed a little stitching in between wiping noses and administering pain relief. My cats are coming along a little more slowly that I had hoped, but that is only partly because of poor health. It is also because I have rekindled my passion for scrapbooking. I bought the two albums you can see beneath my cats in the photo above and am now determined to make sound progress on some long overdue scrap pages. Much fun will be had in making covers for the albums as well!

Meanwhile, Miss Six had to stay home sick from her 100th day of Prep (which she was not happy about!), but the teacher kindly provided us with activities to do at home, one of which was threading 100 (or there abouts) Fruit Loops onto a piece of string to make a necklace. She said they had not had much success at school as the thread was fraying and not threading. So I gave Miss Six a tapestry needle and we had this lovely Fruit Loop Necklace in no time at all!

I hope your Creative Space is a healthy and happy place this week!

So with Miss Six's birthday celebrations at an end, it's back to Miss Two's "tats" wall hanging this week. I am up to the very portable stage of stitching them. I decided to put the sashing on first so I could fit them into my embroidery hoop a little more easily. I like the stitching stage as I can do it while watching telly, sitting with the girls in the playroom, chatting with friends, or doing whatever where ever.

What's happening in your Creative Space this week?

I have a little pad of paper and a pen I carry in my handbag to use whenever I need to keep Miss Two quiet or amused for a few moments. Sometimes she will use it to draw, but often she will ask me to draw something for her. And usually she asks for a "tat", otherwise known as a cat. And so I took to drawing these little cartoon style cats that now find themselves evolving.

On seeing a page of little "tats", Gadgetman suggested that they might just make a cute stitchery. And he didn't have to suggest it twice.

So today in my creative space I am working on five drawings that will become five stitcheries in a wall hanging for Miss Two's bedroom. I bought the fabric for the project last week at a delightful quilting shop in Koo Wee Rup while we were on the road home from a week away on Phillip Island.

While this week you find me with my 2B pencil in hand, bringing little cats to life, Miss Almost Six's birthday is looming, so expect to see my birthday projects over the next week or so!
