JaM - Creative Storms

It's been raining here in Perth

on & off for the past week

and I've been using someone elses camera due to mine being temporarily lost,

when you combine those 2 things there's not alot to show for a week of

creative storms.

 

Amazingly though the rain held off for workshops 

so no one got their machines or hair wet 

which also allowed me the opportunity to get some photos.

It takes alot of rain to make puddles here in Perth being that it's a sandpit

- I risked life & limb to get this shot

as just up the road there was a Tornado ripping trees out of the ground & stripping houses of their rooves.

  

 There's no storms forecast however they're predicting a whole week of rain

which is the perfect excuse to stay hunkered down in the Studio

and finish something!

Oh nearly forgot 
today is the last day for jumping on the
Winter Op Shop Swap 
band wagon!
Partners will be announced mid week so if you're not on the Swapper List to the right
you'll have missed out.

Rainy Days

and no workshops - what to do?!

Make a cuppa & start on some 'me sewing' in a toasty warm studio ALL BY MYSELF!

I've a week & a bit up my sleeve before workshops kick off again for Term 3 and they've forecast some exceptionally wet & windy weather for that week.
I anticipate completing a few projects which I'll endeavor to blog about.
I'm always in awe of those that document the process of their projects on their blogs - where do you people find the time!
My first experiment at this will be with the garments in the foreground (image above). I don't do before & after shots of REinventions because I usually never know what's going to be in a garment until it's finished and I'm usually too in the 'moment' to be taking photos.
  time + motivation = exception
The furry thing on the end of the sewing machine is a machine embroidered scrap of woolen jumper (now a Wrap) that I'll bead & stitch a brooch finding to in order to wear with the matching Jumper Wrap.

I love a rainy day Winter!
