A Little Birdie Or Two.
On our recent trip I made a point of taking some stitching with me. I made sure it was something easy that could be picked up and worked on without too much fuss. These are two of the pieces from Teddlywinks. They are pre-printed stitcheries. I used a variegated Cottage Garden thread for both. Very […]
Animal Stack.
I am back at home after 4 weeks in the US and enjoying the last blast of Summer sunshine. I know it won’t last for long but it’s a change from the snow we have been experiencing while away. We were home just in time for our grandson’s first birthday. How did that time go […]
Critters And Art…….And NYC.
I am so pleased to see our supermarkets moving away from the drab shopping bags. This is the great design on one of the grocery bags I found recently. I hope we see a lot more branching out with their designs. The weather has been hot but I have had some knitting to do. The […]
A Little Mystery.
This little quilt top was completed recently in a mystery quilt workshop. It is a lap quilt or throw size. We received instructions to select 3 fabrics – light, dark and medium. We then had to do all the cutting before class. This made sure the top was easily completed in a day. Definitely a […]
Extra Easter.
Playing with the ribbons and the eggs led to more little Easter goodies. Just can’t help myself. It started with an Easter Chick. Then along came an Easter Bunny. And another egg! It’s so easy to play with felt. Maybe a few more to make?
Ribbon Eggs.
Thankfully, Easter is still a little way off. But I wanted to make a few of these now so there was no rush later. I keep seeing lovely ribbons in the stores and can’t resist using them in these projects. They are made using a felt base in the shape of an egg. I […]
Goodbye, January.
January has flown by quickly which probably means it has been a very busy month. Hard to believe tomorrow is a new month. I have continued to enjoy my Fernhill BOM from Lynette Anderson. Block 3 is done and I am working on number 4. It is an enjoyable stitchery and I have set no […]
Happy Australia Day.
Happy Australia Day to all Australians, where-ever you happen to be living today. We have a holiday long weekend and there are events happening all around the country to celebrate the occasion. Love the Google emblem on the homepage for Australia Day, today. Last week I had a lovely day with a group of friends […]
Stripes and Stars.
Here are the stripes! This little zebra has recently found a new home with our grandson. He is made using a pattern called Savannah Chaps, by Barbara Prime, which also includes and elephant and a rhino. It was purchased through Ravellry. Very easy to make and good directions. I think there may have to be […]
2013 Is Well Under Way.
Time to get back on the horse. Or, to be real, time to get back to my blog. The weather has made sure that we are having a real mixed bag to start the year. Lots of very hot days as well as crazy cool ones for this time of year, too. Unfortunately many states […]
