Bag moth number 4, scrap of calico wrapped with thread. The collection is starting to look cool on my pin board, will have to put up a string to hang them from.

I have just taught a fantastic circles class so todays bag moth had to have spots!

2/100 bag moth

This is my 2nd bag moth, made from a dry palm leaf and a spot of glue. I am hoping to use many different materials during this 100 days.

1/100 bag moths

As today is October the 1st I have decided to start another 100 day project. I am going to make 100 bag moths to hang on a string. Kit thinks I am crazy, but nothing new there! so here is the first one.

just a scrap of silk and orange running stitch.

Beach walk

After days of rain the weekend looked fine so we rushed off to the beach for a walk, we had a good walk up the beach and back watching the rain coming in across the sea. We just made it back to the car before the rain hit the shore.

Every time I see a picture like this I think I should do something in greys and blues with a touch of white, these colours look so amazing in nature. But what should it be? a moody face would be cool.

Date for your diary

Arts in the Ville is an arts festival in Helensville, North West Auckland, NZ over labour weekend Oct 24th - 26th. There will be pop up exhibitions throughout the town and live demos of wood carving, pottery, painting, felting and knitting. We are going to yarn bomb as much of the town as we can and the new art centre is having its opening.
As part of this I will have my studio open from 10 - 4 each day, you will be able to  collect a map from pretty much anywhere in town so you can find me. I will have work on display and I will be stitching something, not sure what yet! I will try to tidy up!
