Getting organized

I am working on a proper 'project' a 'grown up' one, which is taking me a few days - totally not like me as I get so impatient and want to get something done in a day, so that I can show and tell!

I am being toally self indulgent - and doing this just for me - to treasure!

In between painting and drying I have been getting organized - and bagging up my buttons into colour co-ordinations.

I am learning a great deal from blog hopping 'material girls' blogs.

I have been colour co-ordinating my ribbons

Alas these are not silk ribbons, but I can use these to practice with before I start silk embroidery

I have also received my wonderful book and goodies from Pat Winter Gatherings.   I have actually had them for a couple of weeks now and just can't put them down long enough to photograph - but I will soon.

Hmmm - first coat of paint should be dry - off to paint again.
