Isn't that what blogs are for?

I bought some new silk from The Bombay Stores stand at a show so I used it to make these silk and velvet cuffs and brooches.
Don't you just love how it glows?
I tried to match them to encourage sales!
Then I started again with the Harris Tweed.
Round brooches.
Do you like the new labels?
Tweed cuffs with added silk and velvet,
This is a bit too macro,
and a new little type of purse.
I've tried a new fastening method , a strip of fabric
that goes round the back and fastens with velcro.
Here's a red/gold one.
They are outrageously expensive.
And I did some more tweed hearts.
Here's the tweed and silk together.
And the whole lot...
Oh and I finished decorating some books. They all have a little bit on the first page.
I delivered them on Thursday so I could see the Open Textile Exhibition. It was a really good mix of styles and techniques. I wish I'd gone earlier so I could have recommended it to you but it finishes today I think.
I've made a bit of a decision about blogging. I have Google reader so I can keep an eye on the blogs I'm following, but I just can't keep up with it and comment on every post of every blog I read, so I have decided to ease off on myself a bit.I add new ones every day, there are so many. I am still reading but I might not comment as much. That seems really selfish, and I love all the comments I get. I try to reply but even if I don't I am still very appreciative. (And if you don't have a blog and don't leave me an e-mail address I can't anyway)So here's a big Thank You to everyone who comments.
Now I have to tag 6 people.I was tagged by Highland Fairy . Its taken me a while to find 6 who haven't already been tagged but here they are:
Caroline Inckle
Cariad in Crete
Mermaids Purse
Fabulous Threads
Maureens Mixture
Creative Wabbit
You have to write 7 random facts about yorself and then link back to the person who tagged you (That would be me) and tag 6 more.
Or you can ignore it.
I must say I had a lot of fun when I wrote mine, thinking about which ones to choose..there are so many!
