Knitting For Winter.
Perfect Winter weather for knitting! I do enjoy making smaller knitted items as they come together so quickly. This is made with a yarn from New Zealand (Crucci) – 8 ply and pure wool. It is so soft and is machine washable. The pink and cream works well together. I am making steady progress on […]
Planning For Christmas.
I take a long time to get some embroideries completed. Especially when they are put aside when other projects take priority. So on that basis I am always pleased when I can achieve a finish. This is a Trish Burr design and was in Inspirations magazine, Issue 92. It is mostly stitched with DMC threads, […]
Little Finishes.
It is good to be getting back on track with some quilting. I have had this panel sandwiched for a while and thought it would be good to do to get back into the swing of FMQ. I have only added an inner and outer border to make it slightly larger. It will be good […]

Bits And Bobs.
Bits and pieces seems to be the way my sewing and crafting weeks are going at the moment. I have finished another one of these crochet bunnies, but this time have added some coloured yarn as well. I saw several variations of this pattern on Pinterest and liked the inclusion of coloured stripes. I have […]
Busy Chrissy The 2nd.
Apologies to those who have received this post already. I am re-posting it to see if I can sort out some glitches from Tuesday. Cheers, Karen. I always find there is one week in the lead up to Christmas that is busier than all the others. Lots of deadlines to meet and functions to attend. […]
Busy Chrissy.
I always find there is one week in the lead up to Christmas that is busier than all the others. Lots of deadlines to meet and functions to attend. This is the crazy week for me. Three Christmas parties down and three more to go this week. All the cards and parcels that need to […]
Little Things Grow.
Happy October. We have been making the most of our Spring weather with lots of time outside and in the garden. We took down some huge branches overhanging a work shed and our timing was perfect as the next day we had strong winds – over 100kph – that did a lot of damage across […]
A Yarn.
It has been perfect weather for knitting – cold and wet. Staying inside where it is warm and being able to watch Wimbledon and Tour de France has helped, too. I have been able to finish this sweet little pinafore dress. It has been made with a lovely yarn from Bendigo Woollen Mills. It is […]
Another Two.
Our cold weather is a perfect time for knitting. I am surprised at being able to leave my quilting but the knitting needles have called. Here is the next addition to the possum scarf collection. It looks very warm and snuggly. And the last one. I think this one is a tiger possum. I am […]
