I love how you sew the bits of fabric, and attach the gold leaf. What a marvelous idea! You always bring me calmness Janet. Listening to your videos makes me happy. Give sweet Freddie a hug for me. ❤️🐾🐾 Have a wonderful day my dear friend.❣️🥰

Melody lovely to see you, oh thank you, the gold gives the fabric a healed sort of vibe. Sending you love 🕯️ I do hope you have time to slow down and take a breath this weekend ❤️

[@CatHand]

Hi Janet! Love the new fabric you’re making from scraps, and the gold leaf sure does take it to a special level! Thanks for taking us along on your walk. How wonderful to see the new flowers blooming already! 😃 Hugs to you and Freddie! 😊🐾❤️

[@janetnash]

Cat thank you so much. On our walks we see flocks of green parakeets they land in the trees and look like leaves on the bare branches. They are survivors from other times when parks and families had aviaries in their gardens. Amazing how they have adapted to this weather. It’s the type of bird more suited to you’re lovely tropical garden 🪴 have a wonderful weekend. ❤️☕️

Good morning! Thank you for this lovely video and showing how you use your fabric scraps. This is a very exciting idea, too! It is so green where you are.

[@dokidokiforest]

One of my favorite ways to spend a morning - sipping coffee and enjoying seeing how you gently create something so beautiful. ☺✨☕🧵The gold leaf looked stunning on the fabric and on the tags. (I spied that lovely mushroom tag!) 🍄👀 Great idea to reuse that adorable jam jar to hold the gold leaf scraps. And dear Freddie got a yummy snack! 🐾 Just wonderful! ❤🍄

[@janetnash]

Amy so glad you are having a gentle start to the day ☕️ I had so much fun with the gold ! I think that little jar will travel with me in my basket. Wishing you a gentle weekend full of family, creative times and moments of calm

[@mariakirchner6437]

Hi Janet. It was so lovely this morning to wake and find this beautiful video. The gold leaf looks so lovely with the fabric, it really looks quite ethereal and magical. I'm so happy you enjoyed creating with the gold leaf, I find it such a lovely process. A few days ago I received some vintage gold thread I had ordered, it is amazingly beautiful, so I will be looking forward to creating with it🪡. I imagine dear Flo may have 'borrowed' and sprinkled some of the gold leaf on her many travels, perhaps you may come across it out on your walks, a small piece of gold just catching the light beneath the snowdrops, much love...🧚‍♀😊🧚‍♂💖

[@janetnash]

Maria thank you so much. I had so much fun with the gold, thank you so much for sharing the idea with me. ✨ you are right it does feel magical to use it, oh have fun with you’re new thread, how wonderful 🧵. Little Flo loves the jar of gold ! it’s just the right size for her 🧚‍♀️ have a peaceful Monday 🪴🍄

[@lindanonnenmann1112]

Good morning Janet and Freddie. What a beautiful project! Your demo answered all my gold leaf questions. It reminds me of the Japanese art, Kintsugi, mending broken pottery with gold. And it elevates those humble little scraps of fabric to a work of art. Love this!

[@janetnash]

Linda lovely to see you. Thank you so much. Doesn’t the gold feel healing and therapeutic. We have a museum in London called the V&A and there I saw some antique Japanese pottery of that style, the gold was absolutely exquisite. Sending peaceful vibes you’re way ❤️

the gold leaf on fabric is beautiful - i have never worked with gold leaf - its so pretty - love what you created today Janet and thank you for taking us on a walk - so lovely - the weather is unusually warm - i actually had my front door open today - and that's not normal for January lol - thanks again for some relaxing time xx

[@janetnash]

Janet thank you so much, the gold really is fun, I am so appreciative to be gifted it. It is mild and very muddy when we go out but we may have another cold snap to come. I am wondering if the daffodils are called February gold 💛 do hope you are feeling better ?

[@BootsieSweettarts]

What a wonderful video & project Janet. One of my favorite pass times is to sew scraps together to make new fabric. It’s fun to remember what projects each piece was used for. Gold leaf is awesome to use and a little does go a long way. Thanks for this lovely journey.

[@magnoliabird]

The gold lines you created remind me of that Japanese technique you’ve mentioned before. They are like precious seams which bring an item together and enhance it. I think the Japanese do it to special pottery❤

[@janetnash]

They do Deborah, I find myself using gold lines like this so often now, it feels very soothing and healing. 🩵

Hello Janet and Freddie! Oh.. that's a wonderful idea.. adding gold leaf to your slow stitching! Whenever I get some flowers or some other gift that has tissue paper I usually save it too! They usually have such pretty paper! Snow drop flowers.. We don't have that over here in my area. No flowers popping up in norther Indiana these days... We have lots of snow.. and are probably going to get more tomorrow. TFS 💕

[@janetnash]

Gail thank you so much ( Freddie says hi too 🐾 ) oh I know the packaging is more exciting for us than the gifts and groceries isn’t it !

Sending love to you and Elven 🐾❤️☕️
