Needlework and Tapestry Guild Exhibition...

I went to the Tapestry and Needlework Guild Annual Exhibition on Wednesday night - unfortunately my camera was playing up and with all the glass reflection - the photos I took aren't great - but they do give some indication of the standard of work... This year's theme was Black and White and all the Colours in between - you can see better photos over on G's blog... They picked up quite a few prizes for their needle prowess at the Royal Melbourne Show in September... Again the photos don't do them justice and of course there were lots to choose from and I did just snap at random - however I do have a soft spot for the Winnie the Pooh and Piglet - I have always loved that particular image of those two childhood friends... I can't really pick one against the other as a favorite - the one that took my breath away is the black and white Celtic image of the man with the sword hilt...Did I have an entry - of course not - like blogging I am a better looker than contributor...

As far as my own stitching is concerned I haven't done much more to my 'red lady' however I went on another 'hunting and gathering' expedition as I had a gift voucher from Sandlyn House - Moooroolbark - which was fast approaching its used by date... I tried to think of what I might be going to make in the future rather than just buy at random... I was a little naughty last week and bought this - from D - I admired her 'craft' for so long and when I saw this little bird I knew that it had to be mine - I fretted all day at work in case it had been sold before I got home - but God smiled and I purchased it... Looking forward to receiving it through the week... It must have been my week as I also won buttons from Giggle Buttons

Until next time...Take care...
