Some good news and FME

My current work contract is due to end on friday and it looked like it would be another slog around the agencies to find some more work, but I had applied for a job covering maternity leave at the place I am working and I got it! I'll be unemployed for three weeks but then not only do I have a definete 6 months at least of work but they are also going to pay for me to take an IT qualification!

My darning/FME foot arrived today and I've done my first decent FME!


Here it is! These are some inchies I've done for a swap I'm in. I did my own first due to the fact I wasn't used to it yet but I think they have come out quite well. I'm using some clear seal on the sides to stop them fraying. I'm yet to embellish them but I can see myself doing some ATC's this way! I'll be getting on with the others over the next few days.


They are backed with muslin which has made me realise I am coming to the point of using it to back everything!

Anyway, more photos as soon as I've worked some more on the inchies!

OMG! It's so great to see you posting. Congrats on the job and the training. The muslin is a good choice. That's just about all I use. The fact that it's really inexpensive is also a bonus! Be well and be safe.

Your little pieces look great. I can't bring myself to go that small. =)

Congratulations on the job. Nice not to have to look for a while. =)
