Alice's little work of art is lovely - you can almost see her looking back on it from the vantage point of her twenties and smiling at the memories it will hold for her.<br /><br />And yes I absolutely know the creating mania that can overtake you. When it siezes me I will work on something until I am cross-eyed and dizzy.<br /><br />This trend for hand embroidery and using hoops as frames is fabulous - I hope it catches on big time - there are the most amazing artists out there who are doing this type of work now. I get googley-eyed looking at their creations.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14257653410136495378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-9869819348252541932012-02-08T07:50:30.341+00:002012-02-08T07:50:30.341+00:00oh so beautiful.

Such a beautiful heart she has created and of course you must tell her that the most sumptuous persian rug always has a mistake woven into it because only God is perfect! Your daughter has a real eye for colour.<br /><br />I LOVE embroidery!

A colour, fabric, yarn or idea for making worry away in my head until I get to the delightful bit of free time I can actually try it out and make that idea real. Absolutely love the picture you create of you and Alice stitching together. She's made something great there and clearly has a lot of artistic talent. <br /><br />I bought the Alice book as it's been a wee bit of an inspiration for Little Bun's upcoming 10th birthday. Stitching with girls and a vintage tea party are on the cards. <br /><br />Have a wonderful week with all your lovely plans.<br /><br />XBobo Bunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564557200579080645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-59609891691074628412012-02-07T23:00:19.177+00:002012-02-07T23:00:19.177+00:00Alice's heart is beautiful she did so well ble...Alice's heart is beautiful she did so well bless her ;-) She is a budding little crafter in the making.
