Brrrr ……. And Some Stitches.
Yes, it’s cold here. The heater is working overtime. I think Winter is telling us it is not quite ready to go away. I have used my time inside productively to complete the last stitcheries in this set for All Creatures Great and Small from Natalie Bird. Unfortunately I think the book is no longer […]
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 […]
Clear View.
Still not a lot happening here in the way of finishes. This little clear view pouch is the only offering. It was part of a kit from a stitching day with Gail Pan last year. It did have an embroidery to go on the fabric side, but I am keeping that for another purpose. I […]
Working With Wool.
Working with wool fabrics appears to becoming popular. I have had the opportunity to be able to work on a project combining ideas from both Sue Spargo and Wendy Williams. The pattern is from Wendy and many of the stitching ideas are from Sue. The colours are more vibrant than the photo shows, but you […]
Melting Snowmen.
It is super hot here today so no snowmen would survive. There would be a lot of puddles instead. Thankfully my snowmen are made from felt and can withstand the heat easily. I have not made this design before so this time I made enough to give away and one to keep. I am only […]
Animals Everywhere.
I am still not sure about what is working with my blog and what is not, but here I go regardless. Today’s theme appears to be animals – purely by accident. First up, Michelle’s lovely patterns have been turned into a cushion. It was going to be a banner but I liked this better. I […]
Small Finishes.
In the middle of all that is busy at Christmas, I have been able to achieve a couple of small finishes. This is another of Marg Low’s lovely felt ornaments. I always want to make several of each of these. Maybe if all is quiet after Christmas. I have finished stitching some of Michelle Ridgway’s […]
A Santa Flimsy.
I am steadily getting myself back into a sewing routine. After having 3 weeks with a house full it takes a little bit of adjusting to get used to the quiet. I have made plenty of clothes for various dolls for our visiting grandies, but this is the first of my projects I have returned […]
Snow And Snow.
I have continued to work on my collection of snowies and managed to recently finish this one for May. I was then looking back through my posts and realised that I had not posted a photo for the April/Easter snowie. That’s better. I am now up to date. It has stayed quite cold here so […]
Completed Blocks.
I need to do a little blog house keeping first. Linda, for some reason my replies to you keep bouncing back. Not sure why. I also have had a few anonymous comments on the last 4 posts and I am sorry but I can’t reply to those either. I have tried to work out who […]
