First of all, my sewing work-place. Hubby had his eye on the panoramic view when he had this conservatory built, unfortunately, the humidity is no good for paper so I had to relocate, but I can sew here as my love for paper-sewing has grown too. This Cherry tree survived a recent hail storm and gives such pleasure to have such a view! Btw, I made the fabric lamp too.
This share is of my lucky find of a Terracotta table in a second-hand shop just down the road for a spot price, including the two chairs. It is stylish and can withstand the rain.
These tags (above and below), four of which were magazine pictures which I love, cuttle-bugged into tags and stitched on one side using various punched out circles or squares (from scraps), either from designer papers or old books, and a die-cut leaf (below). Just love doing this.
Finally a card with one of my die-cut roses which I love working with too.
That's it for today!
Enjoy a peaceful Sunday,
Jacqueline
Gorgeous creations and a lovely post! Jo x
ReplyDeleteYour tags and card are just beautiful, Jacqueline! And, the table and chairs look so pretty sitting in their new home. Happy Spring to you!
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous view you have from your sewing room and love the little table and chairs - always so fun to find a good buy - and your tags are so cut - love the die cut rose on the card.
ReplyDeleteI had to do a double take when I spied the chair in your sewing room. I have two chairs in my craft/computer room and that is the exact same chair I'm not sitting in now. It was purchased at our annual church rummage sale a few years back for a very good price! So I appreciate your good bargains, too! Your home is lovely and I love your tags. Perhaps, I should look in the very large basket of Victoria magazines, I've saved over the years and use them now! Thanks for the ideas and inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThe chair is from Ikea and they are still good to sit on! Yes, give it a go with a nice magazine picture, especially if the quality of paper allows it.
DeleteOh that is a lovely view to see while you are sewing. Great idea using recycling to make your tags they look terrific and your flower card is lovely too!
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing and exquisite tags and die cuts Jacqueline - I am inspired by your recycling!
