March the Beginning

I finished my February #meaninguflmonthlymake. I had seen some spot samplers and when I was having a rummage I found some antiqued pressings and the two sort of came together. I wanted to just encrust the piece of felt with little ‘samplers’ and fills and surround the pressings. I also seem to have more than…

Another Little Tutorial

A couple of posts ago I wrote that I was putting together some of my printed fabrics into a project that has been on the back burner for a while. Well if you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you will have seen a few of the results. I had a few people ask how…

Later January

My blood pressure is averaging 170/100 with the tablets so still needs a bit of tweaking. I guess it’s something I will now have to live with and monitor. Not sure when I can add proper exercise in again but hopefully soon! Thank you for the kind comments and messages, you're a lovely supporting group!…

A Couple of Bank Holiday Finishes

First up is the felted hare. I've added his whiskers and this is him mounted ready to go in the frame. I tried taking a photo in the frame but it's just about impossible because of the depth. Here you can see his ear is free and the whiskers stick out hence the deep frame.…

That’s May Done

I have put the goldwork Scarab into a frame and it looks rather good. When I get time I will rearrange the wall with all the other pieces on, it’s becoming quite a feature. I bought Elsa a lovely tapestry kit a few years ago for her to pick up when she actually had a…

March End Round Up

Two posts in one day!!! This is just a post to change some colours on my table really. The stumpwork Dragonflies are finished. I have put them in a deep frame and they make lovely shadows. I'm a little way further on with the Reindeer, correcting the printing mistakes as I go. Also the Stitch…
