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 not sure yet if I will make these into a quilt or a wall hanging. There is plenty of time to make up my mind as I stitch 10 more.
I am also stitching away on these little snowmen blocks.
This a quilt pattern from Fig’N’Berry Creations called The Snowmen Are Gathering.
I am testing my limited crochet skills by making a ripple blanket. I decided the only way to improve my skills was to work on projects that pushed me a bit. I must admit that it has been lovely to have this blanket sitting on my lap in this cold weather.
I am also sewing down the binding on a lap quilt. Hopefully I can post that one soon.
Hope your week is going well.
Cheers, Karen

It looks like I have missed another post from you. I am not sure what’s up with that??? These are just adorable. And a nice warm blanket…you’ve been a busy girl!
OMG…you have been very busy Karen. Gorgeous embroideries…I luv them all. Lisa’s creations are full of cuteness…how can you not luv snowmen and reindeer?? I always have a crochet blanket ready to work on. Have a wonderful week!! Hugs and happy stitching Pauline
Those animals are gorgeous… Love them! But then again so are the rest of the projects you clever girl!
you’ve been keeping busy Karen. Cute stitcheries from Natalies book and as a snowman lover, love that one you’ve stitched of Lisa’s
Your stitchery is amazing. I have looked at the booklet, but my skill is not like yours. Oh well.
How cute those stitcheries are! Adorable. I have extremely limited crochet skills despite my grandmother (an excellent crocheter) trying time after time to teach me as a child. o:)
Hello Karen,
Love that cheeky money. Your crochet is looking great, lots of counting!
Happy days.

Love your embroidery. It is SO cute. And the crochet looks great…I think you’ve succeeded in improving your skill!
Looks like you have found time to do quite a lot!!! The animals a really cute, but I have a thing for snowmen so it has to be my favorite!!!
Cute! Very cute! Gorgeous crocheting. I have a pretty green/cream one my Grandmother did and gave to me. I treasure it xx
The embroidery is adorable!
Crochet is something I have never mastered.
Gosh you are stitching the cutest patterns!! I love the coloured threads for your circus blocks. Your blanket looks like waves, and doesn’t look as though you have limited crochet skills at all, quite the contrary.
I love your beautiful stitching Karen, those little critters are so cute, as well as the Snowman with the hardcase nose! Your ripple looks great!! Really nice with the alternating white too.
love the stitcheries! so cute.
your ripple blanket looks wonderful. Perfect to work on during these chilly nights.
Lovely stitching Karen. How cute are those monkeys!
I love those little stitcheries… so sweet and your stitching is so neat…. the ripple quilt is great … I have had “learn ripple stitch’ on my to do list for so long … but I am such a basic and slow crocheter I don’t end up doing it!
