I bought myself a little pressie on
ebay on the weekend and it arrived today! That's pretty good going - as its Wednesday. Tonight I plan to have a fiddle with my new clover
yo-yo makers. I bought sizes for making round and one for heart shaped. I'm hoping I'll be able to take them on the plane and do some sewing when we go to the UK in 6 weeks.
I've also been playing with some luggage tags that
Carol sent me
aaages ago. I have finally figured out what to do with them. They are eventually going to be a sample book. These will be the dividers for all the techniques I plan to experiment with over the next few months.
Like most other people, I have heaps of supplies that I haven't even touched. But I plan to!! I do! So this is my little way of giving myself permission to play. Just make small samples and see what happens. After all, that's how we learn. I've spent a lot of time the last year or more making
things but it is nice sometimes to purposefully
not make things. No expectations. No product. just an experience.
They need a little more stamping, then some fibres dangling off the eyelet. My little samples will be smaller than these tags which measure 10cm x 18cm and interleaved with the divider tags. I'm thinking off buying a
bind-it-all tool. Has anyone got one? Worth buying? They aren't that cheap, but I think they are awesome. More only hesitation is getting the
owires shipped to Australia. They don't seem to do boxes of mixed sizes and colours - only bulk buys of singles colours. People do some amazing things with them. There's some great stuff on
flickr like
Patrick Ng's work and
Jo36's. Her work is just
stunning.
Righto. Off to find a better blog template.

Hi, What a suprise! A new look blog. I see you have been busy as usual. Good idea for the tags. I have a binder but it is not the same make. I had not even thought of using it for textile stuff. I bought it for my bissiness. Mine is plastic not the metal rings.
They look lush! A great way to use them too. Don't forget if you get anywhere bear south Waes, you must must come and see me/ meet up! Love carol t
