a morning of experiments

I've had a funny, interrupted morning of experimenting with little stuffed things. I had some ideas late last night and was keen to get going early. Interruptions, which were many, included the postman, the bin men, people rushing about and going to college, people mooching about and unwillingly going to work, two long phone calls and two or three sudden urges for a cup of tea...

However, I did manage to make one or two things, including this pincushion, which I'm rather pleased with, and some strange keyrings, which I'm not so pleased with. I think the colours need work - what do you think?

I also thought I'd post a picture of my new pale blue labels, of which I'm inordinately fond...

I had thought of working on the keyring colours this afternoon, but fear of further interruption probably means that I'll make a few more pincushions and linen hearts instead, as it's not too taxing and I can curl up and listen to my new audio book, The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis.

But first, another cup of tea...
