Cards galore

I decided to stitch up some cards with the spare bits of fabby I had in my stash. So I've kitted up a bunch and will stitch them in between other projects. Here is the first lot.

Birth sampler.

Finished this for a friend, she started it many years ago, but I thought it was a shame to leave it a WIP especially since she now has a little girl that it is perfect for. Finished March 16

Baby blanket.

Made for charity with leftover yarn.

Finished March 16

My granddad is an excellent craftsman and has among many things made and painted a couple of dozen Great Tits, the whole extended family has one. When I saw this design I knew I had to make it for him. At 91 he is still going strong, I hope I can stay crafting as long as him!

Finished 26th March 16

Bluebell card.

Just a quick card I stitched up since I had a spare bit of fabby.

Finished 27th March 16


Castles in the air - UFO slashing

Wednesday, March 02, 2016 Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »

Castles in the air by Papillon creations. This was a SAL I joined a few years ago, and I loved the first few installments, but then it took an odd turn and I fell out of love with it. I always loved this bit though, and finally decided to get it done. I only had two circles and four pots to go plus the beads, so two nights of work did the job. Really pleased with how it turned out - and with the colours I chose. Finished 27th February 2016. 




Lilliput Lane - Just married

Monday, February 22, 2016 Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »

I've had this kit in my stash for a while, and with my parents' 45th wedding anniversary coming up I thought this would fit the bill nicely. Especially since they've never had a wedding sampler, and since my mum loves the English cottage style. Finished 21st February 2016


RTO Jazz pianist

RTO Jazz café. My second piece in this "series", based on paintings by Brent Heighton. Really love the look of these, and this one is all mine! Finished 12th February 2016.


Stitching catch up

OK, so 2015 wasn't a big stitching year, but I did have one last stitching finish. An owl scissor keep, a cover kit from one of the mags. Gave this to my niece for her birthday. 

Travelling HDs

These pieces were all stitched or started on my summerhols in Canada. They are all cover kits from one of the mags, and I've changed the fabby as per usual.

Arte nouveau bookmark.
All mine! Finished 11th July 2015.

Time for tea bookmark.
Finished 14th July 2015.

Ring of roses.
Especially pleased with the fabby change on this one as it enabled me to carry the thread on the back without showing, more than white would. Boring enough design if I didn't have to fast all threads on every flower! Plus I think it's more striking in black. Will become a lavender pouch. 
Finished 18th July 2015.
