Half Way.
It is odd to think that in a couple of days we will be half way through 2020. Time flies regardless of the way the year is unfolding. That is the limit of my navel gazing. On to the craft projects! I am keeping on with my 2019 Gail Pan BOM. July is completed. Now […]
A Winter Finish.
The first day of June saw temperatures drop here so we really knew that Winter had arrived. Coats, hats, gloves and scarves all came out. So, on that basis it was timely that I had finished my crochet blanket. This is a pattern from Attic 24 called Sweet Pea. It is a very simple design […]
Small Steps.
Work is continuing on UFOs but in small steps. The kangaroos are stitched down and ready for their day at the beach. There are lots of embellishments to go on this block, but not until after quilting. Should have ironed it, too. I was also able to complete another block and add the hexies for […]
Keep On Finishing.
Trying to keep working on UFOs can be challenging when new projects want a turn, too. So now I am going one for one. I completed a Cherie Payne project I had lingering on a shelf for quite a while – maybe from the Christmas before last. Just a small mini wall quilt. Each block […]
Little Things.
The last day of March. Hard to believe it has come around so quickly. Like many of you I have been digging into my list of projects to be done as well as working on UFOs My finishes for this week are all little things. I have started working on The Twelve Days of Christmas […]
A March Mixture.
There are a lot of bits and pieces that still need finishing, so I will try to keep on top of those UFOs in March. Knowing that Easter is around the corner, I managed to find a frame for this little rabbit. I think it is a Bonnie Sullivan design (All Through The Night) I […]
Early Stockings?
Maybe early, maybe late – depending on which Christmas you are aiming for. These stockings had no deadline, so I am saying early. This is a set of four stockings made from a panel, from a long time ago. I can’t remember the manufacturer. The design was lovely and only needed some outline stitching. My […]
A Lovely Long Weekend.
Australia Day. It is a lovely time to have a long weekend and celebrate our nation. January always ends up being a very busy time in the garden. I love seeing these happy sunflowers. We have been keeping up with berry picking. And jam making. Fresh corn is being picked also. Apricots have been harvested. […]
Follow Up Requests.
This is a quick post to answer a couple of questions and follow up on some requests. Jenny and Susan asked for close up pics of the trees with the snow hearts. These are the felt ones. And these are the fabric and felt hearts. These were made with a free pattern from Bunny Hill […]
Merry December.
December seems to be running away very quickly. I thought I had better write a post before it disappears completely. Summer has been a long time coming. The weather has been quite mild except for the rare hot day. But of course that is about to change. We have some very hot days coming this […]
