getting nowhere fast

It all started ok, layer silky fabric and lace on thick vilene, cover with sheer of choice then machine to anchor down and create texture.
After machining half, disaster struck in the form of a broken machine needle, not usually a big problem except when you can't find the box that you put them in!!

So cut in half, save half for new needle, paint machined section green/yellow and wait for inspiration to strike(and clean up kitchen, wash clothes, and do all the jobs that need doing when you have a few days off work)
