I am going to make a small crochet bag next, to hang off the side of the cushion, to put bits and bobs in, and will gradually add antique bits around the outside pockets. I love rummaging through all my old crafty bits...to see what treasures can be used!
I did have a close up of the stitchery to show you, but today I have had trouble uploading images for some reason, which is just so annoying!
This is a Salvia that out in flower at the moment...the bumble bees are loving it!
I got a bit hooked on the crochet motifs. I tried out a few different colours and patterns, so now I have a few to put away for embellishing quilts, scrapbooking etc.
I hope you all enjoy your weekend!
Hubby totally surprised me this morning with this chocolate rose! I had to take a picture of it, so I could look back and know that I wasn't dreaming it! lol!
I hope everyone has a Happy Valentines day!
At the moment, I am working on 'Flowers from the Meadow' from Gail Pans 'Baskets in Bloom' book. I purchased the jelly roll 'Simple Abundance' from Sarahs online store. She provides a very promt service and has a fantastic range of fabrics and patterns!
Its hard to believe that its Friday again!! Hope you all have a great weekend!
So I am showing you an old project that I made at Evandale stitchery day a few years back. A fold up thread bin, designed by Viv Robinson.
The stripey one at the back was a practice one!
Comes in handy having one in the craft bag to take to sewing or craft days.
The Vintage Baskets stitchery is from Gail Pans book 'Baskets in bloom'. This is the first of many projects that I would like to make from Gails book. I wasn't too sure how I would go doing satin stitch hearts as I've only tackled s/s circles before...but I quite enjoy doing the satin stitch. Only way to learn is to 'have a go' I suppose! I covered a canvas frame instead of doing the wallhanging as in book.
