And so it begins..

This weekend is IHSW and I have been looking forward to it :) It is a great excuse to sew all weekend and when I tell people I am taking part in something they feel it is a more acceptable excuse.

So as my previous post says, I have decided to work on St Nick. Admittedly I have not yet started or today but about to (first day at a new job!) but I am just checking on my sky plus to see what TV shows I have recorded or will that will be keeping me entertained over the weekend whilst I sew...if youre interested in comparing them to your own.....



  • Rhod Gilbert & the cat that looked like Nicholas Lyndhurst (UK Stand-up Comedy)
  • Vantage Point (Film)
  • Trollied (UK TV Comedy - last in series)
  • Law & Order: Los Angeles (US TV Season 1, episode 4 & 5)
  • Happy Endings (US TV - Season 1, episode 2 - the pilot was a bit blah but I thought I would give it a chance)
  • The Killing (US TV - Finale, but apparently the killer isnt revealed in this season)
  • Criminal Minds (US TV - Season 6, episode 17)
  • House (US TV - Season 7, episode 4)
  • Would I lie to you? (UK Comedy quiz show)
  • Chase (US TV Season 1, episode 4)
  • Treme (US TV Season 2, episode 3)
  • My Big Friggin Wedding (US TV reality type show - my guilty pleasure)
  • Strike Back Project Dawn (UK TV Series 1, episode 5 - action/drama/army thingy)
  • Lost Girl (US TV Season 1, episode 3 - not convinced)
  • He's just not that iinto you (Film)  - I know everyone hates this film but I quite like it :)

I think this list should keep me going for a while.

Whats 11 months between friends?

Hey there

I have spent a fair bit of the year on instagram, just because I try to avoid wittering on, but I miss this blog and although I need to tidy it up...it is one if the things I want to focus on more in 2020.

So lets get up to date...

Some stitchy finishes this year....

This was completely new - a pattern by Durene Jones - the idea is that it is a FFO stocking. It was a quick stitch and I loved all of it except stitching the white.

This was a new start and a finish this year, its Bothy Threads row of dinosaurs - i had some issues with this and made some design changes. It also needs to be fully finished along with the rest.

This was in a magazine and I want to say it was designed by Emma Congdon...? when FFO it should be an envelope to put your childs letters to santa in.

This was stitched for Halloween. It was taken from a magazine and when FFO'd is a 3D monster mansion. The original colours were greens and I made other changes. Hopefully, I will get some time to write the…

10 things about stitching with plastic canvas (30)

Okay so that is a ridiculously long title, not catchy at all, but I wanted to be clear...hehehe...
**I changed the name of the post! lol Nothing lasts forever...but trust me...it was really long!**
So this is it! My final list post...yes, yes, I took my time but its here!
Its actually a combination post, because whilst stitching this weekend my brain was whirring away and thinking about the task in hand and I made some notes in my mind as to what I would write in my next blog post. Well, after I had been mentally wittering away it did occur to me that I was liable to be accused of teaching my grandmother to suck eggs unless I made a point of stating that it really is aimed at beginners. However, those cross stitch lifers who so very kindly comment on my posts may have some extra tips too and feel free to add them.
So less of the waffling....but before I start the list...a little more waffling....
My last blog post was about the Christmas Ornie SAL that I have joined and will be parti…
