Relaxing with EPP

I have managed to squeeze in a few days away and have spent the time wisely


 I have finished my ferris wheel.  I have love piecing this together: remember that one sunny weekend we had: I sat in the garden and worked away at this.  I love how it has turned out and would like to make it in to some kind of wall hanging

I have also done these:

In our retreat goodie bag we received a mini pack (2.5" square) of charms of Walk in the woods.  They are so cute and I knew straight away I wanted to EPP them.  I threw in a couple of bits of ruby as well to make up the pattern.  This will become a cushion cover, once I have decided what colour to 'fill in' with. I am thinking a darker colour to show up the pattern

I have signed up for Nickys purse swap as well, which I am really excited about and can't wait to get started on. I just need to go and sort out my mosiac for that!

  1. Oh, great idea with the mini charms. I got a Christmas one. Going to go open it now and see if it makes me think diamonds or hexies. See you in the swap!

  8. Love the Ferris Wheel - it looks completely different when you use a definite colour palette like you have. Great use of the mini charm pack too!
