Brace Yourself

Another big catch up post I'm afraid. All a bit of mish mash whirlwind as I've no idea where the time goes! Picking up from the last post I went to stay with Elsa and the Grands for a long weekend which was such fun. I even squeezed in a visit to a yarn shop…

December 2023

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas with your families. We were quiet but Elsa and her partner Jem did come and stay for a couple of nights which was so lovely. We had just had the amazing news that, after another op to remove some lymph nodes he has been given the all clear. Again…

November Catchup

Finally I can try and put my head straight enough to write a blog post. It's been a funny old month since I last wrote. I managed to complete the 100 skips a day challenge for Cancer Research. My knees are very, very grateful that it's over and they have promised to desert me should…

I Have a Finish!

I've been working on Korry's owl for a little while now. It's one of those things which has a lot of little components and they seem to go on and on then suddenly it's time to put them altogether. There are a few areas I could do with sharpening up and quite a lot I'm…

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…

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…

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…
