All in a row...

The lovely Christine over at Jelly Bean Jam has finished her piece for the August monthly design challenge. So early too...

Check out her apples all in a row.

Wish I could knit or crochet something more advanced then squares or rectangles.
Beautiful work C.

My Idea, is starting to come to fruition a bit.
I chose buildings in a row as my subject and took a bunch of photo's of the city skyline from our neck of the woods.


A little play with photo shop and a little help from a friend, means I now have it on screen. I've only done a test print so far to make sure the screen worked out,

so the next step is decide what it will be...
Possibly a bag, cushion or skirt.

Will have to put my thinking cap on and see what it wants to become.

Still plenty of time for you to join in too, so don't forget the theme is 'all in a row' absolutely anything... 'all in a row'.

August Mothly Design Challenge...

Now that I almost* ...... have tree's out of my system from last months design challenge, it's time to move on to a new theme for August.

I've decided it shall be 'All in a row'

T'is a fairly broad topic and could be interpreted many ways, so hopefully it's an easy one for you all to jump on board with.

Remember, you are all invited to join in, stranger or friend.
You can paint, photograph, screen print, make a softie, brooch, earring or shoe! Whatever craft you turn your hand at, make it yours....

My choice is based on my wee obsession with how awesome things look all in a row...Obviously.

Like...little houses,

House pillows by: Leililaloo

Skyscrapers,
City skyline pendant by: Block party press.

Big houses,

Victorian terrace screen print cards by: Mrs Beckinsale.

Cats,

Globes,

Flowers,

Ducks....

You get the picture. Anything ... all in a row.

Send me links to your blog if you come up with something and I'll share it with all here.

P.s
Fabulousness, glamour and perfect stitches are not required. Just an idea brought to fruition, That's all. xx

*Almost.....
Well you know I made my little wood brooches for the July tree challenge, but I had a hankering to do a skirt too. So a week or so ago I got hubby to drive me around the neighbourhood photographing tree's galore. In vein that I would find one perfect shot worthy of putting on screen. I did...Hooray.
But the process of exposing the screen, sewing and all that jazz is not a quick one. So the show and tell on that one will be a little way off.
When it's done and dusted, I think then.....then I might just have got tree's out of my system.
