Scrap Logs And Woolly Jumpers.
I know I have commented in recent posts how we seem to have had an extended Summer, so it will come as no surprise when I say that Winter has finally hit. I think it really hits home when the mornings are cold enough for the heater to go on. Definitely time for slippers. I […]
Bears, Possums And Flowers.
This really is gong to be an all sorts post for today. It has been an enjoyably busy time time with several workshops and little travel squeezed in as well. We spent a few days in the Bendigo and Maldon region last week. We managed to dodge the windy days and had several delightful sunny […]
Birthdays And Bertie.
The second Bertie block has been completed and I have prepared the third, ready for stitching. I am enjoying working with the wool and it has also made me realise where the gaps are in my stash. That’s a good thing because now I can focus on the colours and patterns I need rather that […]
Tigers And AQC.
Football season started here several weeks ago and it turns out that our 4yo grandson needed a hat and scarf to support his team. The lovely part is he has chosen his team purely because of the animal emblem representing it – a tiger. So now it appears he will be a Richmond supporter. When […]
Monkey Business.
There is not lot of quilting happening here – probably due to the hot and humid weather we are having late into the season. But I have been working with some smaller items. The first finish is a table runner from Bird Brain Designs made in wool felt. It is quite long and will easily […]
A New Month And Season.
Welcome March and Autumn. We are being spoiled with a beautiful, mild sunny day here. I suppose I should make the most of it before the cooler months arrive. I have been working on several projects at one time, but when this happens there are not a lot of big project finishes. Here are some […]
Post Santa Day.
Christmas is all over for another year. So what’s next? I didn’t do a lot of decorating so that has been easy to pack away. Lots of gardening seems to be on the cards with netting needed to protect the fruit on the trees being first priority. And maybe a Spring clean in Summer. […]
Ribbit, Ribbit.
I wanted an easy project to play with just to give me a little bit of sewing time. I really like the quick strippie quilts made by Mary of Making Scrap Quilts From Stash, but the focus fabric I had was not WOF. It was only a fat quarter. So, as they say, necessity is […]
Busy Fingers.
I have had a busy couple of weeks which have kept me out of my sewing room, but I have managed to keep some handwork with me for those spare moments. These are some stitcheries from Natalie Bird of The Birdhouse. It is from a little booklet called All Creatures Great and Small. I am […]
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 […]
