Craft-along+pocket organizer = excuse to go to new IKEA
After a trip and a bit to IKEA, I returned with the following fabric.
I then had an unplanned tidy up of my battings, interfacing and other assorted stuff. Which was a neat piece of procrastination as I was having trouble with a language barrier. I really wasn't totally sure of the equivalents of Pellon in the Vilene universe. So I guessed and substituted the backing stabiliser for some (I think) Timtex which I still had kicking around from a previous project. Anyway, its still in one piece and came out quite well so can't be worried too much about it. The hanging mechanism is currently a pair of safety pins. When I decide on its final purpose and position I may either choose the original grommet option or maybe slip stitch a quilt sleeve to the back.

Cup of the day contained blueberry smoothie today as I had surprise breakfast visitors and was able to make a large pot with a lovely new coffee that G got me from Union Hand Roasted - Arabian Mocha Java. Good job I was intending to work at home today as instead of finding me in my PJs like the rest of the days this week I would have been en-route to work.
Watercolour and stamp #8.

Monoprint of acrylic paint in green and flourescent green. I used a OHP acetate slide as my monoprint surface and it gave a funny texture. I recently revisted monoprinting in my contemporary textile workshops. Although I struggled in the lesson I had more successful results with a couple of ceramic tiles in my studio at home.

I was a little cheesy and took a snap of it before it got carted off to the recycler in the sky. It seemed a good thing to make stamp out of when I started this weeks series of stamps:

Yellow basket : Stamp #12
It still had the original upholstery and although it was slightly stained we decided to keep it.
I love the art nouveau design and was surprised I hadn't used the pattern before:
