Running Through May

Well it's all been a bit strange since we last met. I've only done up to the 15th of May on the Daily Stitch so far so a fair bit of catch up to do there. The Kory's Owl Goldwork piece has been on the back burner too. I've finished the wing Pearl Purl outlining…

Well, I haven’t much this month sadly. BUT!! I have taken some scraps… And made a couple of balls… And then done something a little different.

May the Beginning

I've been a little busy lately with a secret project for GSP Rescue UK which has nearly come into fruition. All very exciting at a very needy time for the rescue. I will let you all see when it's a little further along. In the mean time I have been just about keeping up with…

Scrap Happy April

Well as I sit here writing this it’s hailing heavily. I was golfing in sunshine, showers and hail today. April Showers are outdoing themselves! Thankfully I finished what I needed to do in my studio this evening as the noise on the roof is deafening. This month I pulled out my ancient scrap box again…

Easter Sunshine

I’ve finished the William De Morgan Strutting Peacock. I’m really pleased with him. Though I did make a rookie mistake of stitching silk in a round hoop and expecting it to go in a square frame after. Of course the silk was bruised as I didn’t float it or use a stretcher bar frame. Next…

April the Beginning

On St Patrick's Day Nat, Tracy and I went to play with some glass at Linda Rowe's studio. I have done a few classes with her in the past and you can see some bits made HERE and HERE. This time while the others were learning what it's all about I went totally off track.…

March the Last Bit

Tracy and I had a little jolly out the other week. We went to see New Forest Mohair as he had his shop open. I’ve seen him a few times at the shows but this was a first visit to his actual home and to see the goats too. We bought a few bits there…

Scrap Happy March

Hello, I'm new!! Yes I decided to join in with the monthly ScrapHappy Challenge when the offer came up as I am often using scraps lately in a bid to use up what I have rather than buy anything new. I have several plans in the pipeline but for this month I found a PHD…
