| | Crikey, I'd never look good with one of those, I just don't have the right kind of clothes. | |

| |  Sorry Val I know lots of work has gone into these pieces and some of the detail is beautiful, but on the whole I find them much too fussy and at times garish.

| | I love them! The work and the beauty. Have to admit, I wasn't thinking of what I would use them for, I was just amazed at the work, the patience, the eye for detail, and of course the beautiful fabrics. Currently I'm making a fabric art journal. See here for similar. | Life it's better with friends – Marie Rayner |

| | Val, I like the fabric journal idea a lot more than the previous work. It looks so spontaneous rather than over considered ( I admire the workmanship though). I have masses of little bits of material from my patch-working days & a whole huge Sylko cabinet full of bits of jewelry findings, sequins, beads,silk thread, braids & motifs, feathers etc,etc,….. so I really should have a go at something. I hope you show us your journal once it is finished. I would love to see it.

| | Hattie, I will try – however, I used to upload my pics on to Posterous, but they have changed their format, and for the life of me I can't see how to do it now. I suppose if I concentrate, I will discover how, but I get irritated at not being able to 'just get on with it'!! Hattie – do you prefer Hattie or Nadine – never quite sure ……….. ?

| | Hi Val, I don't mind either name. Hattie was the name of a strange hen I had when I first joined a poultry forum in the USA & I have kept the name ever since. Now I feel as if I have grown into the name. I'm a Gemini so having two identities seems entirely natural…….  | " It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome."

Just like my daughter, who had two names, one for when she was good and another for when she wasn't. | |

| | Ha ha – a friend asked this morning if we had any of the polystyrene packing 'nuggets' – don't know what they are called, so that's my name for them!! We got chatting – as you do – and I've come away with some fab snippets of materials, including lace. Fair made my day, it did!! | Life it's better with friends – Marie Rayner |
