One of the cards I made at the Stampin' Up class I went to on the weekend. I love the Top Note die cut (the shape used on the front and the inside). The colours are very nice as well.

Merovingian Cartouche

Merovingian Cartouche, originally uploaded by Jane Stockton.

These are my contribution to the last Royal gifts. The WCOB are making a set of 12 cartouches to be given to the last King and Queen as a gift. Based on Merovingian designs. Onion skin dyed wool, to be worked using Appletons Crewel wool, single strand in chain stitch with some details in satin and stem stitch. Shouldn't take too long to do. I'm thinking a couple of weeks for both of them.

Festival Day Trip

Decided to go down for a day trip to Festival. Left home about 7am and arrived on site at about 9am. Took so long because I had to make a pit stop for batteries.

Got there just in time for Market Day, but I didn't find anything that I wanted. Gave Anton his 20 copies of King Jade that I'd printed and bound for him. I think he was pretty chuffed with them.

Got lunch, hung out in Mordenvale encampment. Then off to Laurel Prize Tourney with my bookbinding teaching models. Got some nice buttons and pewter studs. Can probably use all of them on some more books.

Then to WCOB meeting. Then more hanging out and then back home. Totally exhausted.
