Obsession Number 2

Pattern.
Or shape.
Or, more particularly, making patterns and shapes on my sewing machine.


Sometimes, I just have

so much fun.

But then there's the boring bit.

Includes ironing.

I keep meaning to tell you about 'unplugz' . Can you see it on my iron plug?
If you are constantly plugging and unplugging iron, sewing machine, lamp, etc. or if you have difficulty pulling plugs out, these are great. You get 9 in a packet for about £5 and labels to stick on to write the item on. Then you use the strip to pull out the plug.
I don't get any commission or anything, they are made by someone with whom I used to work and I think he deserves to succeed. The website is here with a little demo video.

I now pass this award as seen here to any other blogger who reads this.
Link back to me and write your 5 current obsessions. I am spreading mine out but you can do it all at once, and pass it on to 5 more bloggers. You can copy the picture but I haven't got round to it yet. I might not even get round to the other three.

Obsessive? Me?

Carol from Alcoholinky tagged me with an Obsessions tag.
As I am a pretty obsessive person I thought I'd do it.
I have to list 5 current obsessions and tag 5 more bloggers, but I thought I'd spread my obsessions through my next few posts instead of putting them all in one post.
I have to tag 5 more bloggers to do the same, so I'll do one at a time....the first one will be...Julia of junorth. She has a lovely piece of work on her embellisher at the moment.

Now Obsession number one.
Colour.
As illustrated by the extreme enjoyment of the following juxtapositions.
I think I know how Anthony Gormley felt.
I am creating my very own Field
(He had other people to make his.)
How many colour possibilities are there?
Four?


Six?



Twelve?


twenty four?


Fifty four?

No.
I have many more ideas of colour combinations for centres, backgrounds, stitches, but at some point I have to make these into brooches.
This is the first step of 'being prepared for Christmas'.
I need elves.
