Making the most of an unplanned blogging holiday

At the beginning of this year i had no idea how hooked on blogs and blogging i would be just 6 short months. All it took was a forced hiatus and the habit was revealed. The sigh of relief when our internet connection regained its full health was practically seismic.

However, I have put my time to some good use.


This little bucket is made using the fab tutorial provided by RicRac
The stitchery is from Anni Downs "Simple Pleasures" book. I had stitched it as part of the Cyber stitching day organised by Karen at Mrs Martins Quilt Shop......BUT in typical fashion i didn't read the instructions and stitched the wrong size Kitty. It did make a good decoration for the little bucket though.


Then there is the ( mostly) matching thread catcher from another great tutorial, this time by The Stitching Room. These were made as little gifts for a fellow quilter...........hmmmmm i hope she isn't reading this.

"My Home is My Haven" wallhanging, designed by Anni Downs of Hatched & Patched. This was just one of the cute little projects we had starter kits for on the Stitching Day in June.

I also received my pincushion from the swap organised by Linda at All Stitched Up.
My lovely partner Paula in NH sent me this sweet little pincushion heart and a matching needle case. It is a very pretty in blue.

Here is a little sneak peek of my pincushion which i shall be sending off to its new home on Monday.


Have a lovely weekend.
