WOYWW 365

Can't quite believe it's time to write another WOYWW post... it only seems a couple of days since the last one.  What with the Bank Holiday weekend I kind of missed that yesterday was the day scheduled for Julia's surgery until I saw Jan's post on facebook whilst I was eating my lunch at work on Tuesday, and ever since then I have been thinking about her and wishing her well, I know we all have. **

I have received some ATC's from the anniversary swap - my swap is coming from Bridget sending from the other side of the globe so obviously that is still on the way, but I did receive one from Annie and Jo (Wipso and Twiglet) and also from Jill, who was my partner, and who sent me back one.. and they are all gorgeous:

 Annie's beautifully stitched scene came with a lovely poem too.. Jo's flowers are simply stunning.  thank you both so much - especially as I didn't have any to send you back.

and this is Jill's - love the little bee, and the wall is so textured.  

I mentioned last week that I was going to a Powertex workshop, and it was absolutely fantastic - I wrote about it in the previous post but this is the standing Angel we made - 

 Powertex is a fabric stiffening liquid, you get very very messy but it is fabulous fun!

the painting of the dried fabric is very subtle, meant to be - just some dry brushing with a shimmery paint - a bluey-green and gold.  I may add a little more, I am letting it sit on the window sill for a while and will see what I think 

She measures about 20 inches tall













**  Edit.  Jan has heard from Julia's husband to say that Julia's operation went well and she is now in HDU recovering.  Lots of love and hugs to Julia, what a relief. Now lovely lady, you can get better; fully and soon I hope  xx
