In FACT they were all 🐭 LAUGHING UPROARIOUSLY 👈 is that a WORD 😁🙃
Before popping them 🐭 into a frame on top of the layers 🎵 in full VOICE they are and POSING fer ye ... can YOOOU hear them?
The book 📚 cover still has a wee bit more to add ... but it's already full of touchable TEXTURES with TREASURED ⭐️ bits of fabrics and WORDS to LIVE by.

I do love your use of words - wonky tone stitching and nature’s bunting will stay with me and get used! I do so love it when people have the knack of layering fabric and bits and pieces, it’s something I find hard to do (a bit like good abstract painting, looks so easy but actually….). Lovely pics of your Mum painting too xx

What a joy to read about your creative week Tracy. Great to see your mum joining in with the antics of you all….🫶🏼🥰😉 Love and hugs, Sue. ❣️
ReplyDeleteI too love the smell of coffee but don't drink it. I enjoy making Chas a cuppa though and sniffing the air as the hot water infuses it
ReplyDeleteHow lovely in that the wee drummer is in memory of your much loved dad, will we be seeing anew character shortly in memory of sweet Rosie? So pleased for you that the collection is going well.
The wee one who randomly popped out when you were on the phone is so pretty, I love your girls. Always have.
Have a great week, hugs, Neet 4 xx
Love your journal - had to smile at the wonky tonk stitching! Happy WOYWW, have a good week, love n hugs Cindy xx #6

Hi Tracy, lovely post today. Loving the finished book cover and it's great to see you crafting with your mum. My mother did lots of sewing and knitting when she was younger but has no interest anymore and although she's 94 now she could do some but I can't persuade her to join in. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x9x
ReplyDeleteAw I had a lovely day crafting at your home,we had a good laugh

I can finish it of later in the week. Loved our day together
Love you mum xxxcx
A fabulous post today Tracy I wish I could get a closer look at your book though. I am gathering fabric for mine and looked at several tutorials, but I have still to decide on how I am going to do it. I have some canvas that my father had, possibly he was thinking of making some canvases, although he never painted on canvas. It’s very stiff, I might cut off a bit and wash it to see what it’s like afterwards. I think it’s wonderful to have your mother painting with you. Happy WOYWW. Angela #10
ReplyDeleteOoh I love howlin Hector's ears too and those dancing geese are fabulous as is the marching band Tracy. Glad you had some time with your mum getting creative. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2

ReplyDeleteI am always smiling by the end of one of your posts, and then I must go back and just drink in the photos again. She is a lovely lass for sure, and the mousies have clearly been at the eggnog. Have too too much fun for sure. Ah well, tis the season, nearly....

How lovely to paint with your Mum! Treasure it, record her voice as well. Sorry, getting maudlin.
ReplyDeleteI adore the girl with the windmills; she’s so lovely.
Take care

I love your characters and how they pop out at random times to introduce themselves to you, like you are an apartment building full of hundreds of apartments, and doors are opening at random times and the dwellers are coming out to greet you. So wonderful! This happens to me with my art journals, I just start creating without thinking and out comes a beautiful page! I LOVE the choir, especially since I just joined one! Are your stamps available in Canada? Where would I go to purchase them? Have a great week, Lindart #19
