My Tapestries
Hi Everybody, I am going on holidays from friday 29th June for approximately 2 weeks.I am heading to Melbourne 1st then Flying to Queensland, and while there I'm hoping to catch up with Peter.So I will catch up with you all on my return home. .
Sorry about the flash but tryed to get close to show the splicing and fading of colours. this is the 1st one I had tryed using this technique,sometimes you had to splice and use 4 colours in the same needle. I think it turned out ok. same size as bullfighter.

I am very happy receiving the Rockin' Girl Blogger award from HootinAnni. I feel truly happy being the recipient of this lovely award and thoughtful recognition.
What can I say about Jeanette's blog...First I love the music when her blog opens for me! It really puts me in good spirits! Along with some wonderful Aussie humor, she has shown us her wonderful work in her yard and gave a lot of insight for me as I love to garden too!!

I love the Pipers pair! No way would I sell those - any of them in fact. I have never sold any of the items I have stitched either. I will make things for friends and family as gifts, but everything else is for me (and Ken!).
Hope you're having a great time out there!
All the best

OMGoodness! These are truly, absolutely wonderful!! What intricate work! You continue to astound me with your talents!
Hope you're feeling better soon.
Thanks for the visit.
These are so beautiful. They must have taken you ages to do. Such exquisite workmanship. Have a wonderful holiday and will catch up with you when you get back.

OMG what a work did you do ! But the result is great. Must have been hard for your eyes. I just couldn't do that, I have no patience at all !
Oh Jen, such beautiful tapestries you've made!! I've never attempted that craft but I can just imagine how much work went into making all of these pictures!! Have fun on your trip and we'll be waiting for you on your return:-) xoxo
That is awesome work!!!! So lovely and I can just imagine the woman hours!!!
We're heading out to Nova Scotia and will be seeing a lot of these guys in kilts. LOVE IT!!!

What beautiful tapestries.
I can't sell stuff I make either ... I make stuff for family, and myself. I love it!
I've been working on a cross stitch for ages ... don't seem to have the patience to sit down for any length of time. You sure do look like you have heaps of patience !!
Have a wonderful holiday, Jeanette.
Catch you when you get back.
Take care, Meow
Congratulations on your Rockin' Girl Blogger award. You deserve it because of the joy you bring others.
Thanks for sharing all those wonderful works. I'm impressed!
Have a splendid vacation!
Jen, Enjoy your holidaY!!
You deserve it.

Congratulations on the award! You have done a good job on the tapestries. You might try taking the photos in daylight without a flash. It might give brighter colors as the flash does introduce a bit of glare.
Enjoy your vacation trip. We will be leaving on the 17th for nearly two weeks with our motorhome to spend some time in the town where I grew up in eastern Washington State. I hope the weather isn't quite as hot as it was last year. One day then the temp about 14:20 in the afternoon was 102F! Pat isn't fond of real hot weather but will probably enjoy the air conditioning in the RV.
Congrats on your award! Love your tapestries. I can only imagine the work that went into each of them.
Safe travels on your holidays.
hugs!
Hi Jen
I don't know how you had the patience to do all those lovely tapestries. The work in them is phenomenal! I'd have thrown them out after all the unpicking, cursing, etc...lol.
Hope you enjoy your time in Hervey Bay in sunny, but cool, Queensland. Peter told me yesterday you were catching up with him.
Hugs
Awesome projects!
Such gorgeous tapestries!! You are a very talented woman indeed!! Congratulations on your rockin blogger award!!!! You do rock!!!Have a wonderful week!!

Hi Jan ~~ Your tapestries are wonderful - you are a clever girl!!
Have a really wonderful holiday at Hervey Bay with Donna. See you when you get back. Hope you find nice warm weather. Much love, Merle.
Love the basket of flowers. You are very talented. Can't believe you did such an intricate picture for your first go at tapestry.
I too had trouble photographing shiny things, wish I knew how to avoid that glare.
I guess it's too late to organise to meet up when you're in Melbourne this time. Maybe next time. Promise?
I hope your holiday is fabulous, & fun for you.
We can look forward to hearing all about it when you get home.
Have a great vacation. I'm only sorry that mine is over.
Hi Jeanette,
Many thanks for your good wishes and welcome to blog land the other week, when I posted as Barnes Residence. I am now Helen's Haven.
Love the embroidery - and the aussie slang dictionary.
The workmanship in those pictures is amazing!
Still hope you're having a great time.
I've entered you (finally) into my blog "roll" sorry this took me so long but I'm so disorganized!
All the best 2u
from.......
Gleds!
