Soon the Mug Rug and Goodie Swap will be in full flow, with partners being allocated as we speak; so last night, after Doctor Who, I got to sorting through this little selection of fabrics...
The flickr group is filling up with lovely inspirational mosaics, and I'm still not sure if I am surprised or not that many of those favourites turn up time and again in people's selections. Looking at the page of thumbnails, they all look pretty similar.
So, with my blank sheet, and sharpened pencil...
I did a bit of sketching and calculating to see what I would be able to create with what I have.
I'm considering about half a dozen ideas which are currently knocking about in my head, hoping I will be able to narrow them down to match my actual partners' tastes; but for now, it was fun just getting to lay a load of fabric all over the living room floor and play for a while before the pressure is on!
Thank you all again for the wonderful comments on my 241 Tote; I truly am overwhelmed by all your kind responses, you guys know how to make me smile xx
I'm going to be doing my homework for this in a while, I have to finish a dress for my mum first! Should be set in a couple of hours though :o)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very fun evening :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, WHat have I got into...the mosaics look fantastic...the pressure is on now!
ReplyDeleteI sneaked into the goodie swap at the 11th hour. I tried very hard to resist but the mosaics got me in the end. Need to start on my own one :)
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first mugrug and my pal Janet has joined in for a first time ever swappy/flickr experience, well chuffed.
ReplyDeleteOh my, you're preparing already?! I think I'll be waiting a week or two to see if I get any ideas...
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteOh Hadley - you are so organized! Congrats on the Log Jam win too. It was (oh I hate to admit it) a great name.
ReplyDeleteThe difficulty I'm finding with the goody swap is when you get a partners real name and address but not their bloggie name it makes working out which mosaic might be theirs hard!!!
ReplyDeleteOi, some of us are on holiday and can't get a head start! I didn't even know the Flickr site was up and running. Must hop over there and have a look. And well done on 'Log Jam' clever clogs!
ReplyDeleteEee! Hadley! I can't believe you're off and running, my friend. I need to get myself organzed ASAP and start getting a few ideas sketched out. Why it is you're always giving me a little kick to get running?
ReplyDeleteIt seems we had the same idea. Stay ahead of the game! Fabric pull looks yummy :-)
ReplyDeletewhat could be better than a basket full of fabric? happy planning drawing dreaming. xx
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing finished projects.
ReplyDeleteNice basket of fabric!
Playtime for adults! Bring it on! Jxo
