another rak reaches destination

hiya all another rak reached destination and again i do apologize i forgot to take photos of it ... so borrowed this off of http://margaretmyblog.blogspot.com/ who was the recipient... of my blackwork... this was a small part of the front of a stitching bag. I used magnetic buttons for the main pockets... and poppies for the blackwork to turn it into a pocket.. i also made two large pockets inside and put poppers on these so whereever she goes she can use it.. and i hear she absolutely adores it.

Next i just have to show you a waistcoat that my 14yr old son Ali made in textiles.. although he made this for his four year old brother Ethan on the advice that the pattern would fit ethan from his tutor.. it only just fits dominic his 21mthold brother instead.. as you can see he has used an Adam and eve theme the apple tree to the left and adam and eve supposedly to the left on the back we have the serpent.. i thought it was great.. its the first time he has ever made an item of clothing..so well done Ali.

i have been working on the cheetahs again although i had to have a break this weekend as i had flu like symptoms with terrible backache.. so Anyhow i managed to finsih the left hand corner i had been working on and now i have the head of the sitting up cheetah and a little bit of the background. i have found it easier this time to work on it its just it does not seem to progress very quickly.. when you look down at how much you have done sometimes it does not seem as if you have even put a dent in the stitches left to do. and now Ali is working out what picture he wants lol.. he would have left home by the time i finish his ....mmm
