Finally A Finish!
This one has been a long time coming. I think I have been working on this Jacobean embroidery for over two years. It was constantly being put aside for other priorities and only getting worked on in dribs and drabs. I have finally managed to work on it for a month or so now and […]
Happy Easter
We are fortunate to have a four day weekend for Easter. This gives many people the chance to get away for one last holiday while the weather is still warm. Our choice is to stay home and be off the busy roads because we can go away at any time. As a result, I like […]
Marvellous March.
I can’t believe how quickly the leaves are starting to change colour now that March is well under way. Even when we are still having warm days – tomorrow is forecast to be over 30c. And that Easter Bunny is just around the corner, too. I had started this Easter stitchery last year, but, as […]
Playing Catch Up With Christmas.
As always at this time of year, Christmas is coming far too quickly. It is hard to stay in front. But a lovely parcel arrived last week to improve the situation. It turns out Cheryll of Gone Stitchin is my final FHFS partner for 2014 and look at this lovely sight. How lucky am I? […]
Little Steps.
It still seems to be very busy here, but progress on some projects is being made in little steps I have finished the little stitcheries from a FigNBerry pattern. They will have to wait for a little while to be made into a quilt, but I have enjoyed having a portable project to work on. […]
August.
I had a very lovely lady notice that I hadn’t been posting anything on my blog for quite a while, and she was checking to see if everything was alright. What a sweetie. So here I am, just scraping in for an August post. Sewing time has been extremely limited as most days have been […]
Bits And Pieces.
When I saw these little slippers I couldn’t resist buying them. They only came in baby and toddler sizes. I would have loved to buy them for older children, too. I have been completing a few little stitcheries. The bird is from Teddlywinks, the tree is from Marg Low Designs and the star has completely […]
Knit, Purl etc.
Lots of little knitting has been happening here in the last week or two. Having to be in different places and doing a bit of waiting around lends itself to having an easy carry project like knitting. I have made several of these monkeys before from a Twins Knitting pattern. I have been playing with […]
Playing With Ribbons.
A few weeks back I was playing with this lovely bundle of ribbons. After a little cutting and stitching, they turned into this little wall hanging. Just in time for Christmas.
A Not So Nice Surprise.
After a wonderful month of family activities I had planned to return to my sewing and catch up on a lot of quilting. As you can see there are a lot of flimsies waiting in line to be sandwiched and quilted. Unfortunately these plans went astray due to the unpleasant surprise I mentioned. I ended […]
