Anyway, here is a piece I made yesterday and is destined for Etsy. I really enjoy working on paper, it's the layering and fragility of the papers, and the transluscent qualities that I find really pleasing. Embroidering the paper is and can be really frustrating. The machine embroidery is very tough on the paper too but the quality of the line is beautiful to me.
The background paper is dated 1922 and has this exquisite stamp and signature dated 13/3/22. 
The embroidered flowers are the last of a vintage table cloth that I picked up and have chopped and used virtually every inch of it. I shall miss it so much, as the embroidery is so vivid and useful in so many projects. I hope you are having a great weekend and thank you for stopping by.x

Hi Viv,
I have just got back from a long walk with dog and family and it was freezing!
I do love your stitched paper and all the vintage pieces you arrange into it.
Hope your having a lovely Christmas.x
I think you should veg out on the sofa with the chocolates....
The only creative thing I have managed is writing ideas and drawing in my ideas book.
Sometimes you just HAVE to allow yourself to be a bit lazy. Don't be feeling guilty.
Enjoy!
I love your ideas... to be honest I need to sit down and read through your blog which I only just discovered a few days ago
For my sins, I went to a football match today... and froze. My team lost and even though I am back at home, I am still shivering..how daft is that,when I could be doing lovely crafty things instead?!!
;-)
