Top 5 Tuesdays: Top 5 things to accompany your stitching

Hey there,

So I missed last week because time escaped me, I was running around chasing it like a headless chicken and by the time I grabbed the irksome little oik it was today!

So, as I pondered on a theme for today and to-ed and fro-ed between a few, I finally rested upon...

Top 5 things that accompany your stitching, please join in and leave me a link and interpret as you see fit.

1. My cat! Muse.


2. Netflix! And an assortment of TV shows...recent things i have been watching, The Night Shift, Cleverman, Travellers, and so many more....basically I will watch any crime related or sci-fi shows. Cleverman is a really good Australian sci-fi drama and well worth a watch. Oh yes...and comedy...have to have some light relief :)

3. Pouffe - I have to have my feet up - I am pretty sure that must be a stitching rule? I don't use a frame or hoop often, and I have the one needleminder (thanks keebs) and I have a light and magnifying glass but rarely use that either! So my pouffe (which is a sewing box too) is my footrest.

4. A cold drink of some sort - I do occasionally get a cup of tea but that ends up getting cold between sips so a cold drink wins the day.

5. Last but not least...My phone...so I can check out charts, patterns and in some cases I am stitching a pattern which is on my phone.

How about you?

A to Z Challenge: Letter A

This year I have set myself a stitching project, I have to do it as its a birthday gift for someone in May! I had convinced myself that it started on Monday but no, it starts today! I will try not to forget...and most importantly...get stitching!

Anyhoo...today is the letter A...oh...the theme? It slipped my mind, I have a tendency to think you all know and are inside my head, doh!

The theme is the arcade game Bubble Bobble, and each letter will be represented by a character or item from the game that the player needs to collect. What I like about it,is all the bright colours and what I don't like is the fact that I will be stitching it on black even weave, although admittedly, it does make the colours pop even more.

I won't be writing much about them each day as I shall be focussed on the stitches...but it will definitely be a challenge!




Today is an item from the game, an Aubergine. One of these will get you 20 points.
