'Scuse me while I kiss the sky...

Purple haze all in my brain

Lately things just dont seem the same

Actin' funny, but I dont know why

'scuse me while I kiss the sky...

OK, the theme for the cards was to create a card using only the colour purple, but you just know I've had that song stuck in my head since I signed up, so there's no way I was going to make a Purple Haze postcard without Jimi on it. He's technically not purple as I printed him out before I remembered I was going to change him to purple, but as I have covered him with a purple sheer, he looks purple. Close enough. Otherwise, everything is purple (except the vilene in the centre of the card) - purple hand-dyed fabric front and back, purple sheer, ribbon, mesh, bits of purple paper & bits of a melted Cadbury dairy milk wrapper, purple thread, a bit of purple foamy stuff which originally came from a child's magazine, I think (it was the frame after you popped out some foam shapes or something) and a purple button. Purple angelina. What else? Oh, purple pen!

I also finished up my bag today, and it came out rather nicely if I do say so myself, but you can't see it until April - sorry.

I've also been playing with designs for my little quilt for the Spring Four Seasons Swap - my partner likes traditional quilts, so I thought I'd do a little mini sampler, with spring-like fabrics in the blocks. Not sure whether I will do a single background or just different florals and solids or what, but I'm thinking of something along these lines - each of these would be a 6" block, so I want to stick with quite simple blocks, otherwise construction is simply too fiddly. I'll have to go dig around in my stash and see what I can come up with - luckily, because the blocks are small, I won't need a large amount of any one fabric, so I should think I have enough to work from stash, even though spring florals aren't really my main interest, fabric-wise. More on this project next week or so.
