Sub(missive) continued........... book art and guerrilla stitch up parcel

this was what confronted me today ! the deadline for the bookwork sub(missive) project is 2 March and so much to do.......

Now I feel I've moved on and finished one envelope today - I haven't used my sewing machine for a while and it wouldn't work so I resorted to hand sewing which gives a different 'hemmed in' look to it! I have a 25 year old faithful Swiss Bernina so hope I can find someone to fix it !

and made a cover (Leslie you might recognise this?)
A friend lent me a typewriter and I've started another envelope which will contain a list of 'in' words more to follow in a week!


Now for something different - the lovely Grrl+dog sent me a parcel
all the way from Australia cos I got closest to the answer to her question about a guerrilla's first objective - read about it here... this is what she sent me (all yummy stuff -and no bananas!!)Rubber stamps 0-9
Distress ink pad - spiced marmalade (delicious)
orange tissuey paper
2 hand knitted squares with pom poms (perfect for a pommie!)
Kangaroo from the set of 'Australia'
Bunch of labels with colourful ties and great quotes
1950,s magazine sheets, old labels, admit 1 tickets and letter
A knitting book

Kangaroo fell out of the box exhausted after the long trip!!

Don't you just love these quotes?

Wow - I tell you I was gob smacked by her generosity! Thank you Grrl
