Flea Market Flowers

 I have totally enjoyed stitching this lovely design and all those threads make me so happy!

Flea Market Flowers is a design by Lori Holt and I stitched it on 36 count vintage mocha belfast linen with all the recommended DMC threads.

Not sure how I'll finish this just yet - might have to look for a suitable frame.

See you soon xx

A Stitching Round Up

This week you can tell winter is well and truly here in New Zealand. After some miserable bleak weather last weekend, the winter sun has been out and we've had a few mornings with good frosts and chilly starts but then a day of sunshine follows.

This coming weekend we get an extra day off work for the Queen's Birthday public holiday on Monday, and after having spent the past few weekends helping with my in law's move to their newly built house, an extra day at home will be great to catch up on some home jobs and maybe even some sewing time.

Lately I've been enjoying having the diffuser going in the living area. Earlier in the week I bought a new synergy blend from the local health shop. Called Stress Relief, it has bergamot, ylang ylang, patchouli, orange sweet and lavender, and smells so divine. Most of the oils I use are made locally by Lotus Oils. 

Onto a stitching update:

I'm so enjoying stitching the Flea Market Flowers design, the colours are so pretty.  

I pulled out a 2020 Stitchmaynia project last weekend to stitch and made some good progress on All Joys for Thine.

Sew by Row is coming along too:

Last week I finished the Last Ripe Berries by Blackbird Designs

Stitched using the recommended fabric and threads:

I've also stitched more on My To Do list:

I've also got a new knitting project on the go, having finally finished the pair of socks that have been on the go since January 2020! A friend from work has a new grand daughter so I've started a little baby cardigan and will match it with a hat and booties too.  

Have you started any new projects lately? 

See you soon xx

Flea Market Flowers

A parcel arrived recently from the Fat Quarter Shop, containing a few goodies I'd ordered with some birthday money back in early April.

I bought the newly released Flea Market Flowers chart designed by Lori Holt and some pretty fabrics to make, you guessed it, more project bags!

I had all the recommended DMC threads in my stash and I'm going to use 36 count Vintage Mocha fabric.

The colours are so pretty.  I'm aiming to stitch a couple of the boxes each week so will see how it goes!

These fabrics are so pretty and great value, the cost to get it here to New Zealand is pretty high though.

See you soon xx
