seashore panels...

these are a few of the most recent unframed seashore pieces that I've made. I thought that I should show some as another craft fair is looming. Morningside Makers Market again on Saturday 3rd April. Not sure how busy it will be as it is the Easter weekend. I don't really mind as I enjoy going to the craft fair. It's always nice to hear what people think about my work. I will also be at Funky Scottish, 41 High Street, Pittenweem, Fife on Sunday 4th April as there is an artists weekend going on and we are open from Thursday through to Monday from 11am until 5pm.I do enjoy working different colours of flowers on these seashore panels but the red poppies are always a huge hit especially when you can see so many of them on grass verges around the East Neuk. Not, of course, at this time of the year.
I should have stitched one with daffodils!
Have a good Easter.

Saturday 6th March 2010...

getting some work ready for the next Morningside Makers Market in Edinburgh. I have a new unframed piece
these are a few few images of it.

These are some of the little Easter rabbit cards that I've been working on to take along to the craft fair. I should have been concentrating on Mothers' day but I thought I'd better do something for Easter because it's early this year. My flower brooches will be ok for "M" day so that's not so bad at least I have something that fits the occassion!.
Back soon,
Moira.

flower brooches...

a few images of my latest flower brooches. I've been making them for a while now and am amazed that they're still popular. They're free machine embroidered and beaded.
I was thinking about using my little textile squares in a different way and decided to try them in a threesome. I'm quite pleased with how they look. I've made up a couple as unframed pieces for now. I was just trying them out in a frame when I took the picture.
This piece is a detail from another unframed textile panel. I'll show more pieces like this when I get things organised.
I have been playing about adding my name to these photos as you can see. I don't know if it's worth it or if I'll be able to change them once I've published this post so you may see more next time or not!
That's it for now. back soon!

HELLO & WELCOME !

Welcome to my new blog!
A new year a new decade a new me!!!

I've decided to move things along a bit and attend craft fairs and have an etsy shop.

I attended my first craft fair on Saturday which was great fun. It was the Morningside Makers Market which will be held on the first Saturday of every month.
Here is a picture of my stall first thing in the morning.

I took along some framed and unframed textile pieces as well as some cards, brooches and bags.
These are the kind of things I intend having in my etsy shop which I hope to open soon.
You can see another picture of my stall on the Morningside Makers blog.
Back soon,
Moira
