decorating and a little bit blurgh

I haven't done much to write about lately so I thought I would show you a couple of pics of stuff I did to decorate my newly painted bedroom earlier this year.  The walls are a lovely citrussy lemon, with soft furnishings in duck egg blue.

The printers tray was a bit damaged when I got it so I slapped some gesso on, then acrylic paint in white, with a bit of burnt umber mixed in.  It is screwed to the wall with mirror fixings.  It shows off part of my angel collection.

I started doing the Pintangle samples this year.  I didn't get very far but decided to make a display of the ones I did do.  There is narrow strip of wood at the back of the shelf, with fishing wire wrapped around it and then tied to the hoops.  I made the framed piece of reverse applique and beading around 20 years ago.  The little square panel was made by my friend Diane

I needed something to fill the long wall above the bed.  I had the long canvas but it was bright pink and didn't fit anywhere so I painted it with the same emulsion as the walls and sewed the embellished jeans pockets on.  I put some treasures into the pockets.

I didn't make this pocket, it was a gift from Rachel and was made using the embellisher and enhanced with stuff :)
















The weather has turned and I feel inclined to hibernate.  Sleepy and dopey and not feeling like doing much of anything except whine.  That's not the blurgh part of the blog.  Oh no, the blurgh is on account of the half box of Thorntons Fabulous Vanilla Fudge that I just ate.  The first 11 pieces were wonderful but I wish I hadn't eaten the 12th .......
