Early March Round Up

I've been flitting about a bit since I last posted. I've written an article for the WoW book about the Temari Not balls and I've had to dig deep to find some bits for a gallery. I've just chosen some of my little beaded pieces but it will do. There's been a bit of pottering…

Well I Did Get the Inks Out

Sue Brown Printmaker has been doing little prompts on a Sunday on her Instagram page so I finally managed to find the impetus to join in! I have several strips of backgrounds coming along nicely. I'm not sure what my main theme will be, possibly with some of my moths, but something will grow out…

All Stitch and No Paper

It always seems swings and roundabouts to me that when I have lots of stitch things on I hanker for something bookish or paint/paper to play with and visa versa. So here I am totally stitchy and wondering about what to make that involves paper, paint, ink, matt medium etc. Fickle in these times!! Stitchwise…

Restful Stitching

I managed to finish the tiny little linen and silk sampler pieces. The pack gives enough silk thread to make corner tassels for finishing. Actually the kits have loads of thread left over, very generous they were. I will have to back them first as the linen is so fine it’s see through. Not sure…

And We Have Snow

Well everyone else has some so about time we did too. It won’t last long though. Having been born and lived by the coast all my life it is still exciting to me as it’s so rare! We live inland by 20 miles now but still in the south so we do get the odd…

Chilly Old January

I put together the new notebook I started making. I wanted the cover to be quite sturdy but flexible so I combined the old, hard notebook cover and some leather. It can take the knocks of being carried around everywhere, it opens flat and has room to expand when I add things. Really pleased with…

A Good Start/Finish 2021

I have a first finish of the new year! When I looked over the table of January 2020 I realised there were two things on it that really hadn't changed over the past year, the summer cardie and the Autumn Plaid blanket. I decided it was going to be my project to complete one of…

Catch Up

I have quite a list of completed projects. I'll start with a chunky cardie I made for me to wear around the house. A nice easy pattern that knitted up quick. I've added pockets since taking this photo. I also finished a waistcoat for Grandson which he had chosen. To be honest the mis matching…
