You know when you've had a glass or two of wine and you love everyone?
And you want to hug everyone and tell them you love them?*
(*I have to add here that when I wrote this I HADN'T HAD A GLASS OF WINE..I just felt the same warm feelings...)
Well...perhaps you don't but I do, and  blogging makes me feel like this.
There are people who comment without fail on my blog and to whom I can't reply with email, notably Heather and Connie and many others, and I would love to give you all a virtual hug. It so lovely to have you take the time to comment.
Not just you, but others.
 Thank you.
Now, I just thought I'd pop in with a creation I did a while ago but which is just about to appear in Quilting Arts emag. I'm sorry I can't link to it. I don't quite know if its available yet.
So:
 here it is in all its pinkness

 Available now ssshhhh you know where.
 In lovely silk and velvet and of course its in the worst colour to photograph. There's a matching heart which can be a pendant or a brooch. Also available.
The silk is shot lilac and orange which gives a luscious pink.
Or should I say raspberry?

Gosh you've really caught the light shining on the velvet Jackie. Gorgeous pieces. I have been wearing my necklace and brooch and they have been very well admired : )

Congratulations Jackie - it's real pink gorgeousness. Sadly I don't have the arms for such items but the colours are stunning! x

I downloaded the e-mag this week, great work Jackie.

Heather said...

Lovely to hear from you again and thankyou for your virtual hug - just what I need. That cuff is gorgeous. If I wasn't so old and past it I would commission a velvet corset to go with it, but I fear it would be about 50 years too late!! Congrats on making it to the QA Emag.

How exciting! I've purchased a QA electronic magazine, and in my opinion you are in the very best epublication. Their mag is easy to negotiate and the videos really are helpful. So happy to see you are appreciated there!
