Lone Pine Designs: The Little Things Aren't Little

Lone Pine Designs

"Lone Pine Designs" originated when I first moved to America in 2005 from Australia. My mother in Australia called our new home in NH "Lone Pine" as she wanted my new home, which is surrounded by pine trees, to have an Australian name. The Battle of Lone Pine is a very famous successful Australian battle which took place during the Gallipoli war in Turkey in 1915. It was called The Battle of Lone Pine for the solitary pine tree standing in the middle of the battlefield which surprisingly remained standing at the end of the battle. After the tough few months leading up to our arrival here in America and surviving the first year in a new country I felt like that pine tree still standing in the battlefield. It was in 2006 when I started to sell my work on Ebay that I decided that Lone Pine Designs would be the perfect name for this new endeavour in my life.

The Little Things Aren't Little

This week's {Ippity} challenge is to create a project using your {Ippity} stamps and incorporate fabric/canvas. I love any excuse to drag out my fabric from my quilting days but was a little overwhelmed by the choice until I came across some calico which I always love to use as it frays nicely and goes with anything and can be sponged any colour to match the papers and inks.

Supplies:- Stamp - Delightful Little Things by Ippity
PTI white cardstock
SU markers
Patterned paper - unknown
Calico
Tim Holtz Distress Ink
SU coloured cardstock
Ribbon
Buttons
Embroidery thread
