Needles and Pins

A most beautiful day.
Good to be alive and appreciate the beauty..
Loads of fun in the making of this page
having to use Kraft.


Watered down paint making my splats and a small brush.
Stick pin from my lovely blogging buddy Wendy
Paper serviette and Modge Podge were used.

I haven't "undusted" my machine
for a while and as it is nearly 30 years old
I was happy to see it is still in great working order.
Mind you I had to work
out how to do the fancy stitching and had
messed up my first kraft paper.

Now to repair some clothes while the machine is out...

This is beautiful, Annie. I am envious of your sewing machine, because mine is as old as yours and it has only three stitches. Of course, I lost a screw and now it doesn't sew at all.

Regardless, I am in awe of this beauty. It is absolutely enchanting!

Loving the new banner as much as this beautiful layout page! Love the button card especially! Perhaps you may have inspired me to get my "beast" out of the cobwebs and hem a pair of pants that has my name on them?! LOL

Christine said...

Annie, now I want to go out and buy some colourful serviettes and modge podge. I love that effect :)

Great layout and just two prominent colors work wonders on this one

kiwimeskreations said...

What a great layout Annie - love the painty background - the yellow 'works' so well on the kraft. My machine comes out occasionally, but I have not stitched on a card for a long time now.

Leslie Miller said...

Needles and pins... that sounds like a fun challenge and you rose to it beautifully! Love those stitches. My machine will do all the fancy stitches at the touch of a button, yet I keep doing straight stitch and zig zag. I should play with it more. This is pretty, Annie!
