Busy end to the month

Been a busy Bunny this last week getting in as much stitching as I could.   Been keen to get fully finished items,  have so many things I want to stitch, I don't want them to be kept in a cupboard.

Sewing machine, scissors, pins and fabric all pulled out, very pleased with my results, but when viewing my sewing room, looks like I've been burgled!

First was Orchid Intrigue from Just Cross Stitch magazine and this was given the no sew cube treatment.

Then a piece I stitched into a zipped bag, its Thread keeper from Little House Needleworks and this will be great to keep my petite treasure braid in.

Finally I stretched and pinned over mount board Curly Q Ewe which was a Christmas present from my lovey hubbie.

Now going to start tidying up my sewing room, how is it being creative is so messy.....

Spring has Sprung and Hung

Spring has sprung and been hung!

Have finally completed my Spring Bell pull from Stoney Creek Magazine.  Set myself a tough challenge with this wanting it completed and displayed for the Spring Equinox.  I didn't quite make it but in hindsight it didn't really matter it was a couple of days late. 

Had never done a bell pull finish before so looked to the trusty interweb for help,  the Twisted Stitcher  has a huge resource of finishing ideas and tutorials and made my finish a lot easier to accomplish.  

Super happy with how it has turned out and cannot help smiling when I see it.

Happy Easter everyone.

Smothering Mum Day

Many years ago my Mum and I attended a Mothering Sunday Service at the local church and the Vicars wife gave the collect with a humorous story of how in this one day we spoil our mums hence Smothering Mum Day, and the message was our Mums are important all year round and we should celebrate them every day...   Here are my Mum makes and I believe she enjoyed them....

 

• A little hanging for Smothering Mum Day

• A table centrepiece for her dining table in her favourite poppy design, its reversible with the same pattern except background in white.  Then a little card made with leftover fabric.

Had a lovely stitchy day with her yesterday and I enjoyed my self even if I didn't get a whole lot of stitching done.
