A new feather, some beads and a funny truck

I made another feather - and

I am still trying needle lace on this cloth -

 

This guy is enjoying a rose-scented place.

 

After a rather long period of creating nothing

I finally made these beads of fabric - for a future necklace.

all made of one and the same fabric

I am not very fond of the cylindrical beads - I like

more the ones which are diminishing on both ends

and will probably use only those.

And here a surprise photo:

Our town Karlsruhe is celebrating its 300-year birthday

and preparing great events which will run till October this year.

So it is no wonder that this truck is driving backwards up the house -

in one of the streets which are not affected ---

because at the same time Karlsruhe center is one large

construction site - we get an underground tram-way.

Going to town by car is practically not possible.

 

 

What I call cover cloth

Yes, I took the name from Karen Ruane -

her cover cloth is wonderful, mostly white.

Mine is exploding of colour.

I am embroidering whatever comes to my mind.

This feather is taken from Jude Hill.

I sent her two - 4 years ago. She got feathers

from all over the world and she is joining them into a quilt

she calls Home (This is the main page)

But look at her side bar for "Home" and you will see the

newest development.

I have a try in needle lace - here

a little triangle - not very well. I know my mistake.

I forgot to span threads from right to left and start

again at the left side. It would be more even.

I am practising.

 

Spots in colour scattered over the cloth.

That's it. DH thinks it is a table cloth.

I am repeating on and on "it's a cover cloth.

Nobody will ever see it on a table - it is far too jazzy!

...and it changes whenever I take it into my hands.
