I’ve completed my 7th week on my dressmaking course and I have only just discovered that my tension on my sewing machine was all wrong and it could have been easily fixed by a little push on a dial that I never took any notice of before! Yes, I have a Janome! Not sure ifContinue reading “Dressmaking Tension And New Start!”

Firey Dressmaking and Cross Stitch Update
I’m getting good at this regular posting thing! I had A LOT to do on my dressmaking this week. When I’m taking a sewing class, I always think I’m going to get much further along than I actually do. It is much harder than it looks! Sewing and anything practical does not come naturally toContinue reading “Firey Dressmaking and Cross Stitch Update”
Long-overdue Update and New Course Start!
Sorry it’s been so long since the last update! I’m doing more shifts at work now so I’m still adjusting to that! I haven’t done much knitting but still cross-stitching every day. Only getting about 80-100 stitches in but it’s something. I’ve had quite an exciting development on my “The Shepherdess” HAED. I am finallyContinue reading “Long-overdue Update and New Course Start!”
Stitching with Eunice
I hope everyone got through storm Eunice and Franklin okay. I know Franklin is still raging and I am keeping everyone in my prayers.

Craft4Crafters @ Bath and West ’21
On Friday 26th November I was lucky enough to go to the Christmas fayre held by Craft4Crafters at the Bath and West Showground in Shepton Mallet. I drove from my home in South Gloucestershire and was accompanied on my journey by gorgeously dramatic bright sunshine peeking out of the dark clouds, illuminating the green patchworkContinue reading “Craft4Crafters @ Bath and West ’21”

Crochet Progress Update, Ordered More Yarn, Cross Stitch Update
Hi all, sorry it’s been a while! I started a new job a few weeks ago so most of my time and headspace has been spent on that, but I’ve been itching to get back on here! Here is how my Hobbii crochet shawl is going: I probably would have finished it by now butContinue reading “Crochet Progress Update, Ordered More Yarn, Cross Stitch Update”
Cross Stitch: New Video and New Start
I’ve made a quick slideshow of the current progress of my main cross stitch project, Butterfly Kisses by Charlotte Bird, charted by Heaven and Earth Designs! I’m currently on my 9th page. Just 33 more to go! It’s a long hard slog but I started almost a year ago and I’m still enjoying it andContinue reading “Cross Stitch: New Video and New Start”
Shepherdess Update and a Watercolour!
Hi all, thought I’d update you on my second Heaven and Earth Designs cross stitch, which is of The Shepherdess by Johann Baptist Hofner. This one is very slowgoing for me because it is my second HAED and my first one, Butterfly Kisses, takes priority. Many stitchers have what is called in the stitching communityContinue reading “Shepherdess Update and a Watercolour!”
