Looking For Sunshine.
After the weather we have been having, the idea of finding sunshine would seem an impossible task. We are getting around that by flying over the pond to spend a month with family and sharing their Summer. I have no idea about whether it will be easy to post, or reply to comments or to […]
Bunnies and Chooks.
I have continued to play with Easter projects. I needed to make extras of these to send away to some cute little family members. Then I decided I needed to have some of these fun little chickens to put in the parcel, too. Each one has a chocolate Easter egg tucked inside them. They are […]
White Rabbit, White rabbit.
March ends today and we will be in April tomorrow. Daylight saving ends here, so a little time adjustment is needed. And Easter is just around the corner!! Sneaking up fast. I have been able to make a couple of felt rabbits for Easter decorations. I simply did a search for a rabbit template then […]
Nearly There!!
Christmas Day is sneaking up very quickly and for some reason I keep finding things to sew! Why is that? At least they are little, easy and portable. These are from the current Christmas edition of Better Homes and Gardens. Rather cute! I was able to make more of these decorations, too. And I still […]

Over the last two weeks I have been able to attend a class to make this special Christmas tree. It is constructed in similar fashion to an Etui box. So it starts off looking like this. Then the little cap comes off allowing the sides to open and reveal the centre. The little box in […]
Do I Have A Parliament?
I know the collective name for a group of owls is a parliament, so I am wondering if my little group of 3 is considered a parliament. After making the one owl I posted about earlier I have continued to sew with felt to make several others. I think they always look good when they […]
Enjoying The Net.
One of the things I thoroughly enjoy about the Internet, and blogs specifically, is that so many people are prepared to share their wonderful ideas. This week I have have enjoyed making several items using tutorials from blogs. The first one is the S’Mitten Quilt from Erin Russek on her blog One Piece at a […]
Christmas Leftovers.
I need to get back on the wagon and start posting a few entries on this blog. No matter how much planning and work is done, there are always a few things that never quite get finished before Christmas. This is an embroidery from a design by Christine Book. The idea is to sew it […]
Little Stockings and Circles.
I have managed to make nearly a dozen of these little stocking ornaments.. They were filled with chocolate bars and candy canes. All but one have now been given away. The stockings are based on a mixture of patterns from Rachel’s of Greenfield. I have also managed to finish a few more of these circular […]
Christmas Gift Sewing.
Just trying to make a few extra gifts for Christmas. This is the start of a table runner or two from a pattern by Disa Designs. Still a lot of work to be done. I have also tried to make a Bon Bon from a Hatched and Patched pattern. I think I still need to […]
