Lace

I have been wanting to try making lace with my embroidery machine for a long time, so yesterday I downloaded a couple of free samples of Sue Box Creations embroidery for my Janome machine and here is the result I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. I can see this being sewn onto one of my dolls with a bit of bead work on it as well, of course, i think I will age it a bit.

Finally finished my first primitive bunny.

I am making the carrots that go with my Prim Bunny. Finished the sculpting of the carrots just waiting for the fabric stiffener to dry so I can put the final touches on them. It's like watching the grass grow, hurry up!

Here is a close up of the table runner.

Found one of my very first. Hmmm, I made this table runner for Christmas one year and it is now one of those I suppose you could call a traditional family heirloom now that comes out every Christmas. I got it from a Handmade magazine a few years ago, not 100% sure which one will have to look for it. Never throw away any magazines. Would be happy to try it in different Christmas colours so that when I change my colour theme for the year I still have the runner in different colours.

Here is a close up of my bunny. She was stained with Parisian Essence and hung out to dry.

The current project that I am working on is a Primitive Bunny from Sun Valley Primitives. I found this bunny in the Handmade magazine. Thought she was cute and it would be a good one to start my journey with Primitives.
