Robbie and I are still having fun - Facinator Scarf and Sammie Snail and his New Friends!

FACINATER SCARF - A LA ROBBIE AND JENNY

With the eminent
release of When Dreams Flower - the books are in Australia and now we are only for them to leave the wharf - RNK Distributing have just released Faux Knitting kits to go with the technique of the same name a technique launched in When Dreams Flower.

These kits have six balls of coordinated yarns and two yards of Dissolve Magic Sticky to make Faux Knitting fabric - scarf, hat, gloves wrap - all the directions are in When Dreams Flower.
This is a great starter kit for you to have a play.

Simon sent us home some sample yarns and Robbie and I could not wait to use them - this is what we made a Fascinater Scarf. The actual scarf took no longer than an hour from beginning to end - how quick and easy was this?

We then use used yarns (sandwiched between two layers of Dissolve Magic Sticky) as the applique fabric inserts for flower designs taken from Applique Magic design CD, stitched over hooped Dissolve Magic.

Of course we had to embellish the embroidery with feathers, crystals, beads and a glorious trim that Simon sent us home (centred in the pink flowers) and then attached the yarn embroideries to the scarf with Magic Tac machine washable fabric glue.

Here I am modeling this in a Cashmere top coat in 34 degree heat - I nearly passed out I was so hot - the things we do! Trust me Robbie had to be really quick with the photos!

SAMMIE SNAIL AND HIS NEW FRIENDS CHILDREN'S RAG STORY BOOK

Sammie Snail and His New Friends - an embroidered rag story book taken from Harvey's Garden . This is an embroidered cloth book including picture pages and text pages. We think it is gorgeous, with the embroidery designs being embellished with crystals and additional pen drawings which add to the pictures on each page.

STORY PAGES

These pages are all on Harvey's Garden design CD so they can be stitched out in one or two hoopings - you will just love it. Ange Ross from Canada just emailed me and said she has started her book - way to go Ange. Harvey just loves his - come on Nanas this is something special for that beloved grand baby - a real family heir loom so get started.
