Blossoms and more

It is all blossom against the evening sky - the future crop of

mirabelles - the little round yellow plums, first a little sour and

if we leave them hanging long enough - very sweet and juicy.

It is the view out of our room where the piano is standing.

 
 
 
It is a pity that the fantastic light can't be seen in this photo.

A collage of the finished "market basket" with handles -
I used exclusively batiks which make the bag somehow stiff.

And here again the cover cloth --- the cat is more friendly now
I cut his moustache - and operated a light smile into his face.
The advantage of such a cloth - it can be changed according to
the creator's mood.

If you are maybe following Jude Hill's blog you will recognize

her "beans". It was an "aha-moment" for me - (thank you Jude, for

this idea). I am slowly filling in spaces with left-over bits of thread...

.... in a colour matching the ajoining squares.

 

 

I found a little embroidery in one of my boxes and thought it

would just fit in. I stitched buttonholes around it and laced it

with the same red cotton a broder. I added two buttonhole lace points

in white. Sorry the tips were cut off by my photographer, ha!

 

I need a little give-away next week when our grammar school class

will meet for lunch in my home-town Stuttgart. So I used again

(how many times already) the tutorial of noodlehead to create

this pouch. It is my favorite tutorial.

I will fill in chocolates!
