wow! party help

This is a sewing party and my grandchildren are all about helping to get the confetti flying!  A wee blankie for the doll!

The girls will be sharing a bedroom and the older is all about pink and purple sew...

The younger can chose from the supporting cast!

This scrappy trip around the world project is looking like two distinct colourways .  No problem!  Two quilts it will be.  (story of most of my projects!)  And then a quilt for the Grand son!  ;)  His colour choice is green.

And speaking of green, I did get my wall hanging to the first stage.  Just saying! ;)  Now to figure how to get leaves on it.

I also did a little thinking about the teacup wall hanging.  I'm for simple but I need to get those cups to pop a bit more.

My first applique block is also available for show and tell.  Eleven more to go!

I shall invite the guests to tour other parties that The Needle and Thread Network may be hosting but I shall confiscate the tea, the gooey cupcakes and most important, I shall wipe their sticky fingers.  Party On!

The real leaf...

A few overlaps and a shot of spray but these are 'real' leaves pressed down onto the gelli plate!  :)

This is a positive and a negative print of real leaves.

The left are on watercolour paper and the right are on deli paper.  A bit too much paint on the lower left print. :O

 This might be called a 'ghost print'?  But it is definitely not the first as the edges are blurred.  Cool!

Another first and second print.  I like the second but the first offers more possibilities for layering, me thinks.

I went back on the bottom ones and printed over some of the black print pages. I do like layers.

My play page bin is overflowing with all kinds of my practice prints.  It was a really royal experience. ;);)

The Royal Family

Sunday is Family day so I think Sundays should be purple. This is all about being with family, fellowshipping, often with food and plain old relaxing.

My favorite place to relax is in bed with a good book but that is usually at the end of the day.

For most of the day it looks like this.

The day starts off brightly.

And continues with fun things.

And visiting.

The sun begins to fade.

Bed beckons and sweet dreams follow.
