Bunting

I had a lovely time at the fair I went to last Sunday.

I was outside the main hall in a marquee, and the weather was glorious; well it has been all week.

I've just had to get out in the garden whilst getting some hooky and stitching done.

Here's some pretty bunting that I've just added to my shop..

I've also added some ballerina bunting, and liqourice allsorts bunting...remember them? I was always a bit gutted when some kind person brought me a box of them, cos' I couldn't stand liquorice :o)

How's that for ungrateful?  LOL

I've been working on some new needlecases, and making up crochet jar covers to make little cosy pots. Hopefully I'll have some pictures for you in the week sometime.

Haven't we been having gorgeous weather..probably our summer I know, but still it's been so nice to spend the Easter holidays out in the garden..

I'll leave you with a few pictures..



Needle book

I've had this in my Etsy shop for a while, but i keep forgetting to pop it on here for a closer look.

This is the second needle book in my 'Rose' needle book series.

The one onthe left is my very first one...i've kept that one all for myself :o)

This is it opened out..

And below is the button fastenings.

Below shows the little inside pocket on the front page for those pesky embroidery needles that always gradually just fall through the felt :o)

These are unique to my needle cases.

If you'd like a custom one, just convo me, as I love making them.

The one above is in my Etsy shop.

I did a birdy one too, but it was swooped (sorry :o) on by a friend.

So when I've finished a few more rosy ones, I'll pop some more birdy ones on there.

I've got another Fair this Sunday 17th April. 

I've been sewing like mad getting lots of bunting made for it.

I'll show you my lovely 'Ballerina' bunting next time.

 

Ta.Daaah...

I've just recently been given a lovely commission to work on from my Etsy store.

It was for four enormous placemats measuring 17" x13" , with navy blue and white running through them..well, here's the finished products which are now on their way across the lil' ole'pond to the U.S. of A...

They took a while to make,

I hope the recipient likes them :o)

Here's some 'man' mixed media art that i've been working on that will soon be listed in my shop.

And, I've been busy with the patchwork...I think that crochet and patchwork are just meant to be together and look gorgeous :o)

This was just a test run, but keep an eye out in LTS for the real mcCoy  =)

Here's anothe Queen Annes lace scarf ..this ones in amethyst cotton..I've yet to list one in my little shop because as fast as I make them they get snapped up!  This is my 7th one!

I've been busy in the garden too lately, here's some tomatoes, asters and runner beans popping up..Mmmm I do like fresh veg ... :o)
