good-bye present for a very special person

A great person was leaving our team and she needed a special good-bye present. As we cannot use kids' images to anything I came up with another idea:) And there is the result:)

The Tea Set- wedding present

It's finally finished- the wedding present for my old friend- the Tea Set. Tea cosy with special embroidery, two mug hugs and two mug rugs. Hope they like it:)

art&craft library

Wooho! I seem to be very active today!;P
Back to the topic:)
For some tame I was looking for books on sewing, crafts, quilting etc. and was slightly terrified when checking the prices. As I am fairly new "in the business" I thought I cannot effort buying books without checking if there are of any use for me. Then I discovered that my libraries have vast amounts of great books on topics I am interested in. I have to say I enjoy collecting new ones every week, writing down ideas in my own sewing scrapbook and if the book is useful- ordering one for myself. Soon I am going to publish the titles I found very interesting- my own reference library:)
Back to sewing!
Have a lovely day:)

where to find materials for your work?

What I am going to write now isn't probably any news for most of the crafters, but from the beginning of FuFiFu (that's the shorter version of Funky Frilly Furry;)) I was wondering where on Earth I am going to stock up without the fear of bankruptcy. Then one day when I was clearing out my wardrobe I found plenty of good quality dresses, tops, scarves and other fabrics that I won't either wear nor sell as they are scarred in some way and they are too good quality to throw away. What could go to charity shops already is there so why not have a great window panel from a slightly ripped rushed skirt? Or a tea cosy from a size 4 polka dot dress no one wants to even try on? Does it sound like my own definition of upcycling? ;)

I love this! How about creating a set: Tea cosy, mug hugs and mug rugs? Think that my friend Magda who ordered a cosy might have a bonus:)
