Well!! What a lovely day...
...with a lovely bunch of creative and clever ladies!!
Saturday morning started with me going out into the snowy white landscape that is my mountain-top...
...and driving down to Croesyceiliog for a day with Gwent Embroiderers.
They had chosen to do my Lavender & Lace tag set...
...so, after I'd covered two tables with goodies for them to play with...
...they set about creating beauty!! :-)
Work in Progress.....
...and the finished pieces....
Beautiful work Ladies!!
...and Thank You for a wonderful day :-)))))

Final Borneo tags
Here are the four strung Borneo tags...
...that folk will be encouraged to make while with me on board.
I'm working on a few pages spreads...
...plus some machine stitched pieces too.
It never stops around here!
I'm having trouble believing that I'll be flying away in less than four weeks.....
...so much to do before then...:-o

...from blues to greens - Borneo begins...
All my Philippines pages are done and stuck into my sample/scrapbook...
...so I spent a couple of hours in the workroom filing away the blues...
...and digging out greens.
I have every intention of doing more when I get there....
...using bits and pieces that I find...
...but for now...
...these are the products of my imaginings :-)
Tags 1 & 2
Stamped seed pods, printed leaves and flowers, lovely batik fabrics and a bit of writing....
....with stitch to finish (of course).
I also used the seedpod rubber stamps to make some polymer clay pieces for some page-spreads...

Philippines tags - 3 & 4
Here are the final 2 tags in the Philippines group....
....again, strips of prepared pares, fabrics and some Angelina fibres.
I added a Fimo piece in my book sample simply because I liked the look of it... :-)
The finished 4 tags were strung with some hand-dyed silk thread...
...which were then plaited to tie the set together.
I'm minded to do another couple of page spreads for the Philippines....
....maybe I can blog those on the weekend...
Have a great day.

p.s.
I didn't want to do a second post today...
...but you WILL forgive me if you follow this bit down to the YouTube vid!
Going a bit senile lately, I can't remember who I was telling about this, but I KNOW it was someone who reads this blog so ...
...I've just had a snoop around on YouTube for this snippet from the early 90's..
...and FOUND IT! Yey!!!
(YouTube is such a miracle - I thought that I would never have the utter pleasure of listening to this bit of program again!!)
I remember crying with laughter when it was going out live....
...and the day after when they played it again on the same show...
...and it happened again this morning when I listened to it again!
I make no apologies for the exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!
This proves beyond doubt that a completely-losing-it- good belly-laugh is better than anything else to lift the spirits and blow the bad-weather cobwebs away :-)
ENJOY
