Finally finished off this beaut. I'm planning lots of new bits over the next month, my mind is full of ideas and I need to get my ass in gear and start making!

21/05/2024

Finally got around to finishing this! Needs a bigger hoop but lots more embroidery coming soon...

Oh my goodness, my first (and last!) Hyper real paper flowers are FINALLY finished!

I am really pleased with how they turned out but they really are very fiddly to make and I don't really have the patience. I persevered because they are a gift. But yeah. Defford a one off! They took at least 30 hours to make and there are plenty of other things that need making instead!

I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Tried a bit of stumpwork to give the anchor a 3D feel, added some mini felt flowers, beads, and reclaimed trinkets.

Took a little trip to The Red House, the house William Morris designed and built. I lived around the corner from it for 10 years and never found the time to go!

It's now owned by the National Trust and they have been doing a lot of restoration work, uncovering some of the original artwork on the walls and ceilings.

Such a beautiful place to visit

Happy international women's day. Here I am at my touting my sparkly wares at our rugby club.

The ladies are raising funds for a new kit. An actual kit designed for ladies and that's worth celebrating 🍾

I've played for 10 years and never once worn anything not designed for a man, we have hips people!!!!

Little piece I have finished tonight. I've had to give up trying to match the number of hoops completed to the number of books I have read πŸ™ˆπŸ€£ I do work full time.....well until I win the lottery and I can read and stitch all day, unless that is a job....?

I am being very good and 11 days in to the new year I am still working through the craft stash I already have, except ordering more pompom trim to help me so that doesn't count πŸ˜…
