Here's the cushion I finished last week, I was using the wool (Drops) to crochet a blanket but got side tracked as I do and ended up with this..........
At the end of July my nephew David is getting married, a Stag weekend was arranged in Benidorm YES! Benidorm. It's really not my husbands sort of thing but after a bit of coaxing from my brother and my son, Dave went along on the four day 'Beano', he did enjoy himself, but said he doesn't think he go on another!
Betsy and I had a nice four days, I stitched and stitched and stitched, I had a great time. I finished a book that I started in City and Guilds class the week before. I was going to only use Khardi paper but decided to paint some paper with Brusho, I used up some handmade paper that I had in my stash,( I've had it for years) for the outer and inside cover. It's good to use bits and pieces from a stash, it makes room for other things.....
On Wednesday I visited the London Fashion and Textile Museum with Jacqueline and Diane, the exhibition was Kaffe Fassett 'A Life in Colour'. The use colour and design of the work is amazing, I may be a bit controversial here, I was very disappointed in the execution of a lot of the work, we are all entitled to our point of view. It is actually the first time I've seen his work in the flesh so to speak, if you've seen his work what did you think? Whilst we were in the area we popped into The London Glass Blowing, it's almost opposite the LFTM and well worth a visit if your in Bermondsy, I saw a couple of lovely pieces that would sit nicely in my house........
As always when we are out together drinking and eating is a must, so lunch was in a Gastro pub The Garrison also in Bermondsey Street. This is not a part of London I know very well we usually stay closer to the river. There are lots of little shops and restaurants so worth a re visit at some time!
