Recently,I liked sewing on plastic canvas very much.
You can hold a stiff canvas in your hand, you can cut out the whole canvas just as much as you need for a small masterpiece and I don't have to look for where the next hole is, which comes with small canvas holes.
An additional plus is that I can quickly finish small, colourful handicrafts and hang them in the window, hang on a curtain, on the door or put between flower leaves like those ones.
Such lovely little masterpieces.
These little blue ones always remind me of the Netherlands, like small tiles decorating old tiled stoves.
Practice makes perfect. After a few snowmen for the Christmas tree and chickens that scattered over the flowers, I decided that they would be well represented when I sew a piece of coloured material from the bottom of the piece, and the back of such work looks more aesthetically pleasing.
And other angels can fly to the Christmas tree or other Christmas decorations.
And so much comes from New Year`s resolutions.
I had to write more and what happen-empty head, nothing to write.
New job, house renovation, every day some work in the garden(especially when the garden is big) or everybody order some slippers
or some handbags
or such a decoration for toilet paper.
Last month I did not want to write but rather to handmade.
Or maybe I'm starting to snoop, I do not want to open a computer and ... I have excuses for everything.
Although on the other hand, I can say that I love to sit in bed most, listen to the radio and do manual work, or delve into an interesting book (or erring in the book world, which arises in my imagination).
But today will be about butterflies.
I do not like to waste material that I bought and used, but not quite to the end.
Some time ago, on the plastic canvas, I sewed four coloured eggs from which a bunch of yellow chickens pop out just here.
After finishing the piece of work some plastic was left and I put them into the drawer, thinking how to use them.
Looking through magazines with sewing patterns, I came up with an idea when I saw these butterflies.
That's what I'm still waiting for, I'm just getting to work.
As you can see there are also two horseshoes for good luck ( I must tell you about this something interesting).
And hearts.
And surely you are curious about the red felt which I put under my sewing.
I bought it with a newspaper, where there was a set to sew the fruit on the felt.
And it was just an idea for me to cover a piece of work that does not look very interesting from the back and can be used my butterflies as a key ring.
I would only have to find the rings with the clasps and thread the trinkets.
And here is the whole set that I was able to sew on the pieces of plastic canvas that were to be found in the basket.
I grabbed the plastic in my hand
In the other hand I held the needle
I boldly dabbled on the canvas
And here the chickens hatched
From my colourful Easter eggs
I would like to write about this nice job I did in my home in Poland when I was there on holiday.
It was cold, grim, it was impossible to go out to mow the grass or anything.
And as you know:
"During the rain children get bored...".
