Beach Treasures

I scrounged along the beach the other day and found these little treasures...above are some spines from a sea urchin...I have never seen so many in one place. I plan to sew them into embroideries...I like the sound they make when the knock together...very 'shelley' and sort of bell-like.
Some more embroidery bits and pieces...all ready with holes to attach them.
A shell I had to have and heart rocks all along the beach...
These are little rounded bits of coral I think, with funny markings...they remind me of game markers of some sort.And I took these photos with my new birthday camera!! It is great and I love it.

Vignettes - my place and others'

Some of the hearts I have collected arranged on an antique platter from my mum...
with a tealight candle set in the centre. The candle is in an old crystal cigarette lighter that was my dad's...I removed the lighter and was left with the crystal..pretty isn't it?

Some of the secondhand patterns I picked up for a dollar each...I was using one the other day and found it was brand new!


Some of the fabrics in my collection...I like having them piled up on the end of my table to keep my inspired.



This is Zoe and Alex's wall of books in their lounge....I love it...

heart collection and felt pouches




some of these heart rocks are quite large...the size of my hand. I thought I would paint them all red and put them in a bowl of some sort. And I made a pouch for my camera (on the left) and one for my mandolin tuner and picks etc.
