a fabric collage and machine embroidery number for our numberless house ... louise drew a big number 1 and coloured it in, and also designed a border and then traced it onto muslin for some sticking of different colours and textrues of fabrics ... i machined all over it then cute out round louises lines and machined to some cream fabric ... (the muslin we worked on get puckered)

we might take commisions .... :-)

i can't put my clay 'number 1' that i made while pg with the girls on the house, as the pointing needs doing soon - sea winds and all that .....

i made this as one of my many entries into the softie awards ... but none of my festive creations came into the top 5, booooh ...
never mind, the competiiton motivated me to peer out thru the foggy pregnancy brain, and get something sewn which did me good i'm sure ... !

i am starting to feel a little less tired - esp on some days - and will show you a collaborative work between me and 9 year old louise soon ...
