On the Go

As well as several little ornaments, which I'll share pics of once they have been made up, I've been working on several different projects over the past few weeks.  

I couldn't resist this ABCs sampler by Alicia Paulson, I love all her designs and how you can purchase kits or PDF patterns.  Not shown here but I also have two Miss Maggie Rabbits in production for my two small nieces.

This little Gail Pan stitchery was a left over project from before Christmas last year.

I decided to pull out this Block of the Month from Cinderberry Stitches, Tail Feathers, this has been a very long work in progress over the past few years!  I'm now up to Block 3.

I've also crocheted a few more circles for the Flowers in Snow blanket. It feels good to have a variety of crafty projects on the go!

Have a lovely weekend x

Tail Feathers Block One Done

Hi there

A few years ago I was quite smitten when I spotted this gorgeous Block of the Month design, Tail Feathers by Cinderberry Stitches. So I placed an order for the kits, which came in the post over the next ten or so months. And that was as far as I got!  Several times since then I'd get the kits out, have a little look at the instructions and think oh boy, this is a bit tricky for me.

At the start of the year I decided that I needed to just get on with it, lol.  So slowly since then I've been working at putting together the first block and completing the stitchery work.  I have done a bit of this during my lunch breaks at work and my co workers have been a great help and had lots of encouraging words to get me moving along.

So I'm pleased to say that my first block is now all done.

So now it's onto block two!

Have a happy day xx

Wednesday Night Red Stitching

Hello there

Most weeks by the time Wednesday evening comes around I'm feeling a little tired so instead of stitching I've been trying out some Christmas stitcheries. I had several on the go before the end of last year that I didn't quite get around to finishing so at least they will be finished in plenty of time for this Christmas!

Another project that's recently come out of the craft cupboard is my Tail Feathers BOM by Cinderberry Stitches. I bought this way back in 2010! 

Block One is all ready for the embroidery part now so I think that's going to be on the agenda for next few Wednesday nights.

From tomorrow I start some annual leave from work - I don't have any set plans for my time off, just catching up on things around home and of course, spending some quality time with my stitching  and oh yes, Hannah starts school!  I can't quite believe it, our little girl will be five. She's well and truly ready for school, loved her school visit a few weeks ago and loves her school uniform, she even slept in it the other night, lol.  

Thanks for stopping by today x
