moved to wordpress

as I can no longer paste into this blog so I have decided to stop having 2 blogs and put it all on the island threads at wordpress, I tried to get help from google/blogger but no replies, I think what made me finally decide was wordpress having a 'paste from word' button, not only do they allow me to paste but encourage/make it easier,

thank you for following on this blog, I hope you will visit me at island threads wordpress,
if the link does not work this is the url http://islandthreads.wordpress.com

revisiting my garden

tried to do this post this morning but blogger won't let me paste any more, after blogger swallowed a post years ago I write all my posts in word and copy and paste them in but blogger just isn't cooperating, so I've just published the post on my wordpress blog, if you want the story behind the photos you will have to read it on wordpress, sorry,

at last

I have 'at last' started reading some blogs again and I thought I should 'at last' post some photos of the ufo's I was working on in my last post so here they are, nothing arty, very crafty,

UFO diversion

I had cut out some harris tweed landscapes years ago and they have been waiting to be stitched, well I finally stitched them and needed to chose some fabric for the borders,

this is what my draw of Harris tweed small pieces looked like,


so I just felt in the mood and decided to pull the draw out and organise it all, which meant ironing most of it, strange how I do not mind even enjoy ironing my stash but hate ironing domestic stuff like clothes, curtains etc.
anyway this is how it looked when finished, which helped a lot in finding suitable colours for the borders,

UFO’S

I finally got into a sewing mood and finished some postcards I had printed ‘years’ ago, I joined the ufo group on stitchin fingers to encourage me to finish some of the many, many ufo’s I have, even though it is only 6 postcards it feels good to have finally ‘done them!’

wow.....photo uploader came up first click this time.....
