Stitching For Christmas.
It seems to be so far away, but I know from past experience that Christmas creeps up really quickly. I am trying to get ahead, but I know it will still be a mad rush in the end. I started with one of these decorations from a Bareroots pattern, Everything Nice Christmas Ornaments. And then […]
Jumping Into July.
It has turned very cold and wet. Not surprising for the middle month of Winter. But it still feels Brrrrrr….. . The trees have taken a while to change colour but the last two weeks have changed all of that. Perfect weather to be inside stitching. And that has led to a finish. My Tinsel […]
Making Progress.
Bits and pieces are starting to come together. Always good to see progress. The last block for Tinsel has been completed. So now the nine blocks are ready to go together. There is then more applique to go on to overlapping blocks. Plenty to keep me busy with this project. I have also manged to […]
Christmas, Easter And Winter.
That’s a few of the holidays and a season covered! Christmas refers to the Sue Spargo embroideries for Tinsel. I have two more finishes and only one more block to go. Of course that is not the end as there is also a lot of work on the border. I am leaving some of the […]
One Sock, Two Sock.

Getting Ready For Christmas.
Christmas never really feels like it is far away and maybe I will get a few projects done early. These are projects that have been on the go since last year, so maybe they will be in time for Christmas 2023. Last year I started the Sue Spargo BOM, Tinsel. Because of delays with mail […]
Merry Christmas Wishes.
Merry Christmas. Looks like we are going to have a proper Aussie Christmas as the warmer weather has finally decided to arrive. No complaints as it is time that Summer showed its face. Most decorating has been done and thankfully all the shopping is out of the way. Just a few presents left to wrap. […]
Yarning Away.
Lots of little yarn projects have been worked on and some have even been completed. This little doll is a pattern from Mary Jane’s Tearoom and is called simply a Little Yarn Doll. A lovely pattern to follow and lots of variations included. I have kept to the basics for the first one, giving her […]
Lots Of New Starts.
Time to work out what to make next, so I have been trying out a few patterns to see if they are what I want. So, lots of new starts. I started with a test block using the Tula Pink pandas. It was a bit fiddly finding the right size to cut the centre block […]
Bringing 2021 To A Close.
The last day of the year crept up a lot quicker than I had expected. But here it is. So before the New Year starts I managed to finish a couple of Christmas projects. These are part of a series of wool stockings designed by Michelle L Palmer. Michelle kindly shares these designs freely each […]
