Wrapping up 2014

Friday, January 02, 2015 Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
Here's my last HD of 2014. It's called Red-nosed kiss, reindeer. A freebie from The cross-eyed cricket. I stitched this as the prize for a Christmas jumble. Finished 1st December 2014, but forgot to post it.


Also posting my progress on Puck. Managed to finish all the 5 first pages, now only 30 more to go :-).

Lions go roar

Stitched this to the director of the show I did this autumn. This just suited her, cause she's fierce as a lion, but also fun and playful. The design is one of six from one of the mags. I will finish it as a fridge magnet. Finished 23rd November 2014

Saw this in a mag and had to stitch it, love the simplicity of the design and DMC 996 must be one of the prettiest colours about. Might have to keep this for myself :). Finished 3rd September 2014


More woolie hats

Sunday, August 31, 2014 Posted In Edit This 1 Comment »
This was the week for woolie hats.

First one I stitched for my good friend Eli as she hinted at wanting one, and she looks stunning in blue. Finished 25th Aug 14.


Second - my first two premature baby woolie hats. I thought I'd give these a go as they are always needed in hospitals for premature babies. Found a really nice recipe with variations and these are two of them. Will be stitching more of these and maybe some socks, blankets and tops to go with them. Blue finished 27th Aug and pink finished 30thAug 2014


One stitch HD and one knit

Sunday, August 24, 2014 Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »

Stakkeband. I'm designing my own "stakk", a slightly less fancy Norwegian national costume than the bunad. And I'm doing a musically themed one, which I've never seen before. This is the hemline, just finished it. Now on to the next bit. The song is "Hallingvisa" a local folk song. Finished 22nd Aug 2014


Needed a quick and easy knit for a coach trip today. Made it up as I went along, inspired by mountains and stars - quite happy with it. The bottom white has reflective thread knitted into it. Finished 24th Aug 2014

A small design from one of the mags for the ACN charity quilt. These type of designs are so boring to stitch, but I guess all for a good cause :). Finished 2nd August 2014.





Bunny charms and be true

Sunday, July 27, 2014 Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
I haven't had the "small HD mojo" for ages, but seem to be in the middle of one right now. So here's a couple from the last couple of days:

The first is two bunny charms for necklaces. Saw these in a mag and since I had a couple of small bits of plastic canvas left over, I thought I would stitch up a couple. Took no time at all and I think they're very cute. Finished 24th July 2014.




The second is Be True by LHN. Lovely little design that I finally got around to. Slight personal alteration as I turned the flower blue instead of the excisting white. Finished 25th July 2014.

Mini HD that's been bugging me to get done for ages. Cover kit from one of the mags. Was meant to be used for one of the ACN charity quilts, but it's been a while since we did one, so I guess we'll see if it ends up there or for something else. Finished 23rd July 2014.

Sarah Kay

This is a Sarah Kay design from one of the mags, stitched for the baby of friends of mine, due in October. I stitched another Sarah Kay design for their oldest, two years ago, and thought this was an apt follow up as there'll be two little girls now. I loved these designs when I was a kid and naturally therefore still do. Finished 17th July 2014.

A John Clayton design from Heritage crafts. Really loved working on this and it took no time at all really. Wish there were more designs like this about, it's suits my taste perfectly. Will definitely keep this for myself!

Finished 18th February 2014
