Monkey Fun.
This cute little guy is going to be a gift. I have just finished making him and now have to complete his sleeping bag. The pattern can be found over at Twins’ Knitting Pattern Mini Shop. There are some gorgeous softies over there! And some freebies. I have also been playing with these sweet […]
Going Green.
Quite accidentally, everything in this post is green. I only realised that when I was cropping the photos. We have a Magnolia Little Gem in our garden and there have been several flowers, but they have always been wind or rain damaged. It has been delightful to have one open when the weather has been […]
Stockings.
The stockings are nearly complete. Only the cuffs to go on. I have to wait a little for those as a friend is machine embroidering the names for me on to the cuffs. I have also been hard at work making another ribbon tree, same as the first. There has a been a little tweaking. […]
Chocolate bears.
I am again joining in with Melody’s Teddy Bear’s Picnic today. I am going to sit down, put my feet up and enjoy a cuppa and a biscuit while I look through the posts. I am also linking with Marcia’s Minutes For Me – because that’s exactly what I am doing. I am having some […]
Stitching Away.
No finishes, but some steady progress on a couple of projects. The ribbon trees are coming along quite well. After trialling a few fabrics I went back to basics and used a natural coloured linen for the background. The perle embroidery thread shows up well on this. I have finished the first one and now […]

Ribbons And Trees.
I have to admit that I am often easily distracted. Showing me something new with sewing is like waving a toy around in front of a child. I always want to try it out. I had been playing with ribbons to decorate trees on Christmas cards. I remembered seeing small wall hangings made with ribbons […]
A Snowman Quilt Top.
At the very end of last year I was extremely lucky to win some beautifully embroidered blocks. They are a collection of snowmen, reindeer and Christmas trees. The beautiful stitching was done by Pauline of Quilt n Queen. Pauline does the most amazing stitching. She generously had a give away last year of eight of […]
Califon Is Complete.
Several positives to report. My machine is back, working and happy. And so am I. And as a result I was able to sew the binding on my Califon quilt and hand stitch it down overnight. My LAQ was incredibly fast and had it back to me in a couple of weeks. I chose a […]
Tin Teddies.
Today has to be the most perfect day for the Teddy Bear’s picnic. It is a mild Spring day and the sun is shining. Can’t ask for more that that! I am linking up with Melody at The House On The Side Of The Hill and joining all the teddies and their friends for the […]
