The Moon and Handmade Monday


I can see the moon from where I sit watching evening television and some nights I can't resist popping out into the garden and taking some photo's. I love seeing the shining moon through the trees.

The Moon through the Trees


The clouds had cleared and gave me a lovely view, I don't have a super duper camera, I don't have anything expensive nor do I have fancy lenses, in fact I don't know how to use any of the settings and always have the camera set on auto.
Cameras today are so much easier to use, no more putting rolls of film into a chemist and having to wait a week before getting them back only to find half of them are out of focus or peoples heads have been chopped off. It great that now we can use a digital camera or phone and take hundreds of photo's and can choose what ones we wish to keep.

As I'm showing you I thought I'd also show a little teaser of something I've been working on.......

The Moon on Canvas


I can't show you any more just yet, I'll keep that for a future post, in the meantime don't forget to pop over to the lovely Lucy Blossom Link up blog.

Have a great week

Notebook, Diary or Address Book Owl & Moon Cover

What a wonderful day, the sun is shining in a clear blue sky, the flowers are blooming, the bees are buzzing, butterflies are enjoying the warmth and the birds are merrily singing away. A lovely British early spring day.

This week I've had the sewing machine out and I've been busy with Notebook and Diary Covers, not all of them are ready to have photo's taken but one I've finished is this Owl and Glittery Moon cover, I first done this design as a Halloween Swap a couple of years ago, you can see the original Owl Cover Here.This has been made using Denim, Cotton, Felt, Beads & Sequins, oh and I mustn't  forget the glitter.
