It's my birthday today, and I'm off to Brisbane for a day of fun and frivolity.....first to see an exhibition at the Queensland Art Gallery - "Threads : Contemporary Textiles and the Social Fabric and then who knows what else.
.....and for those who were curious, here's the gift sent to Naomi that I gave a sneak peek of a few days ago....I think she liked it a lot. She likes to sketch and draw, using pastels, pencil or charcoal, so I made her this folder she can pop in her bag and take with her and sketch on the go. The cover's made from some linen I rust dyed. I was pretty happy with how it turned out.
'bye for now
Happy Birthday Nanette and I hope you have a great day in Brisbane.
ReplyDeleteI also loved the folder it is wonderful and your rust dye is great.
cheers
Happy birdday to you, and i love the gift, very thoughtful. Is it windy up there today?
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, fellow Jan 11th-er! I hope you have a lovely day. I'll be spending mine working, sadly... but I have Thursday off and a long weekend coming so it shouldn't be too bad.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the WIPocalypse - I've added you to the participant list. Looking forward to seeing your progress. :)
Happy Birthday Nanette, hope you enjoyed your day out! Regards Anne on Mornington Peninsula
ReplyDeleteThanks Dallas, for the birthday wishes, and that you liked the folder...we could have a rust dyeing day when you're on your feet again.
ReplyDeleteHi Kaite, I had a great birdday, thanks, no round yellow Italian ice-cream though. Wasn't windy in Brisbane, just incredibly hot...39!
