This weekend I have been working on a piece for a new fabric book Round Robin that I am taking place in. Below is one of my pages, as a work in progress. I have since added more stitching to the background and will show you the photo of the finished page in another post. I also finished off a Klimt doll for a friend. I am still really enjoying making these dolls, so I hope you're not getting bored with them (have a few more I have to make for friends).

The lovely Belinda of Metallic Dreams sent me the above art goodies in a surprise package which arrived this week. Soooo lovely to receive surprises in the mail and I do love art mail! The little blue face is a magnet which is now adorning my fridge and I will find somewhere special to hang her funky bird and little art doll. Next weekend I am doing a Vintage Journal class with Ro Bruhn with my art friend Dot. .. sure to have some pictures for my next post. Always such a fun day doing a class with Ro!
Enjoy your week, hope its a colourful one!
