Mixed Up Saturday Featuring Michele's Magazine Review

Good Saturday Morning Ladies,

I hope that you are all well and enjoying the weekend, it's a bit blustery here but the sun is definitely trying to shine!
Paul and I have a lovely peaceful weekend on our own, we have lots of garden jobs to do though, they will be a bit easier without the hot sun beating down on us. My jobs are potting on and  sowing more sweetcorn and beans & peas, were are sowing in intervals so that we don't get everything ready at the same time.
What are you all up to this weekend??
Oh I have  Tracy Evans workshop too!

Let's see what you have been sharing ....

Janet

Janet has ahared her latest Beaded project with us, it is beautiful Janet  so colourful and I bet it comes to life when it catches the light too, I haven't seen anything like this before, I love it, it's geeat to try different types of crafting.

Janet's Description:
"I have also attached my latest piece of bead art.

The Company who produces these kits is AM CRAFTS LTD.

It is Mini Artcrafts - Mandala Series 5.

It is a kit I bought sometime last year. It was the first time I had seen this Company and thought it might just be a little different. I have to say I really enjoyed the kit."

Thank you so much Janet for sharing your beautiful bead work XXX

Karen

Karen has shared some Cross Stitch Samplers that she made for her Sister in law and Husband,  the show different seasons and the clothes are cleverly stitched to match. They must have taken ages, what an incredible gift to give someone.

Karen's Description:

Here’s some of my cross stitch
For 4 years running these were gifts for my sister in law and husband The characters do reflect them and the clothes they wore They had them hanging in the kitchen and when they had their extension built she returned them to me to re frame them etc I totally forgot all about them (she probably has too!) until OH started doing a clear out
The borders are straight but some how haven’t photographed very well.
The Book I used and can't find is by Jo Verso

Thank you so much Karen for sharing these lovely gifts with us.XXX

WOW Michele, what a fantastic review of a lovely Magazine, you know everything will be great quality with it being Altenew! I am very tempted to buy this one, I love all of the inspiration too.
Thanks so much Michele for another fantastic review XXX

Michele 

Michele spent some of her Birthday Money on some new Dies, a great choice there Michele, the Family dies are Brilliant and Ovals are also useful,  those grape vine dies will go great with the other wine dies you have. I could definitely use the Belated Birthday Wishes die, this one is lovely with all the extra twirls and curls.

I look forward to seeing you using them, thanks so much for sharing XXX
