Notebooks 47 and 48

I hope that you all had a good Christmas. Mine was different than I expected still had a lovely day. Have been for walks on a wet meadow with grey clouds overhead, not ideal for taking photographs.

Have been experimenting with a drawing programme which has been fun, gradually getting the hang of it. Made my "thank you" cards yesterday.



I was very lucky to be given a Bamboo Pen® for Christmas and will show you how I get on with that another time, once I am able to draw something that I feel pleased with.

Notebook 47 is a copy of an old envelope that I picked up at the Oxford vintage market a few months ago transferred onto fabric. I've stitched it onto cartridge paper and the hand stitched in a few pages of plain paper.



Notebook 48 is a watercolour picture that I did many years ago and found recently. It has hand stitched in cartridge paper pages.





Will be back soon with more notebooks. Going to sit and watch "Little Women" on the box this evening, love the story.

You notebooks are all so different. I love the envelope transfer and your watercolor painting makes me think of Italy and sipping wine on a patio....Happy New Year my friend. Here's to lots more knowing each other in 2012. xox Corrine
