This is leaving it really late, but i'm managing a post a month :-(, not my intention!! i have been busy with a baby quilt, still in progress, i should upload some shots!! but here is what i got up to this weekend, for an Xmas swap in the embroidery group of http://www.in2crafts/! Just want to add a little fob tonight!! Thanks to this pattern, goes to Paula Storm of Sew Little Time Sew Little Fabric, in her free designs collection. Paula had made a felt one, and i just changed it a bit.

Keeping with the Spring theme....

Keeping with the Spring theme .... i found another little item i made, quite a few years ago, i can't remember nicely but i think it is one of Di van Niekerk's embroidery patterns i purchased a couple of years ago. Once i'd done the embroidery i pasted it onto a little wooden box that i'd painted. oh yes, i found the broom in a craft shop and sewed that on for extra effect!!! If you have time and you love embroidery please see her website, she has THE most beautiful patterns and ideas - such a pleasure to visit.

Start 2010

Hi all, apologies, for being away soo very long. Lots of things to sort out, in my life, but i'm getting there, more later. My 1st project for this year - to coincide with the SA in2crafts, i completed their One Project a month challenge, which expires 5 Feb, and the following is what i made, for my friend Terri's bday, which happens to be today. I hope she likes it, i enjoyed making it, and she can re-use the cover again and again!

Hope to chat very soon.
