Coming soon...

Hello!

I have been reading blogs but not posting of late, but I have some things to finish before my next post.

I have been stitching intermittently and I decided to only stitch the one horse head (if anyone remembers that) , but I found the perfect cushion in a fabric much like a horse blanket -I just need to finish it all off to give next week :)


I also really started to enjoy Noah's Ark (didn't want to put it down) but had to put it down and start stitching on a small project for my Grandma. I will post a pic of my progress next time so you can see what I got done in a couple of evenings.

The quick stitch for my Grandma is taken from Joan Elliotts book Wit and Wisdom and I am about halfway done  - again I will post a picture next time.

I cant believe that it is IHSW already! I had completely forgotten :) It is very likely that my IHSW post will include all the updates mentioned here so might be quite long.

I better get on and finish of the gift piece and then focus on the finishing - fun?!

I hope everyone has a great IHSW this weekend.

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…
