    What a good idea to wrap thread around a clothes peg! That way you can peg the end and always know where it is!

    Wow I'm so glad I found "slow stitching." It's so forgiving and unique. Since my granddaughter took up crochet all my pretty scissors are missing hahaha.

      Jackie isn’t it lovely to gently slow stitch, especially with all those little bits of fabric. How wonderful your Granddaughter is crocheting that’s so relaxing too. ( hope you find the scissors ) 😊

    Stars and hearts, buttons and birds…so full of whimsy and joy! Thank you for another relaxing time in my car as I drive around finishing up the last minute details of holiday preparation! 🎄🤍🫖🤍🎄

    I love your scrappy stars Janet, I have been enjoying stitching them this week⭐. I can just imagine the delight in peoples faces when they come across the giving tree, such a lovely way to inspire and lifts peoples spirits.🌠 I think the scrappy covered fleece you use is a magic scrappy fabric fleece, I wonder how many whimsical fabric creations it has helped create✨🪡. I loved the little apothecary building next to your shimmering thread, that would make a nice haberdashery shop. 🪡🤔😊🧵

    • @janetnash
      @janetnash  Рік тому +1

      Maria so glad you have been gently relaxing and sewing. With a little whimsy and fairy dust we could fit right into that Apothecary shop, you and I standing behind the counter, hundreds of little wooden draws spilling shiny treasures. Glass bottles filled with buttons in the led light windows. ✨ oh what fun it would be.
      Go gently Maria 🩵🫖🪴

    SongS of the day for this process video 1) 🎶 twinkle twinkle little star🎶 and 🎶 shine bright like a diamond🎶 Well i see it has taken no time at all ( pun indeed intended) for Colin to be making his cameo appearance and of course provide the soothing tick tok background sound . It was a wonderful time out with you and Freddie to visit The Giving Tree.....such a treasured place I see Flo is working her little fairy wings to the wire scooping up all the scraps of fabric and almost at the wink of of an eye had completed her imaginative whimsical star . Obviously Flo, like all of us who have the opportunity to be with you in your studio are continually inspired

      Thank you for the lovely encouraging words, take good care Barb’ra 💚

      Linda yes Julia’s mushroom fairy is so cute. She made the mushroom from fabrics and the little fairy is printed on a fabric from her stash. If you can’t find that fabric how about stamping a fairy onto plain fabric ? Happy creating 🧚🏼
