Some good news!

Not about photos, although some good suggestions have been made, [thank you!] which I have passed on to the senior techie. I’m not touching anything in case I make it worse. I’ve even got the desk top turned off and I’m using the laptop instead.

The good news is about  Ronaldo the Wonder Dog, who I may have mentioned once or twice.

I did point out that her real name is Skye, and that she had been short listed for the Rex Factor award from the Dogs Trust.

Well – last night was the awards ceremony.

Guess who won?

I’ll be seeing her on Wednesday – I’ll let you know if fame has gone to her head.

I’m still lacking creativity so I decided to work through some of my pile of printouts of ideas from the ‘net.

Starting with this one.

Here is my version. A bit of recycled embroidery and mount card, some index cards and a binder clip. With hindsight a second binder clip might have been a good idea – but I like it. I may add a piece of elastic to help keep it closed.

  Here is another appliqué sample. Machine reverse appliqué. I think the variegated thread was a mistake – far too regular – but believe me this is the only way I would ever do a lot of reverse appliqué. I’ve tried it by hand and I didn’t enjoy it!
