Sydney Trip

Sadly no finishes this past week....too busy with rehearsals for our local theatre production and a couple of days spent in Sydney with my younger daughter.......here we are enjoying afternoon tea with my parents at Burnt Orange in Mosman....overlooking part of Sydney Harbour on a glorious afternoon......

No time to visit any patchwork shops in Sydney this time but am planning on doing some online shopping....will share my "goodies" as soon as they arrive....

Happy stitching till next time...

Another Finish

Last weekend saw me finishing off another project started some time last year with an embroidery group run by Fiona from Peaceful Threads....I have many UFOs started at this group! I used up only a few of my many French General fabrics for this purse - measuring 25 x 20 cm it is the perfect size to house some of my other projects...

Trying to finish off some small projects at the moment as I'm also involved as stage manager with out local amateur theatre company's latest production - "Allo Allo"  - so time is being spent spent at rehearsals and making copious notes so back stage can run smoothly....doing some alterations to costumes but I don't call that being "creative"... and working full time will leave me a little time poor over the next few months......but doing a little is better than not picking up needle and thread at all! 

Have scrounged through one of my baskets and I spy another UFO coming up....can you tell what it may be?....bought as a kit in 2009...

Maybe it's time to bring on some knitting too...will give it some thought....till next time....

First Finish for OPAM

First Finish for OPAM
Well, here is my first finish for the year. The project is from a Country Threads magazine from 2007! The embroidery was finished then but only put together on Sunday - just a few years later! Will have a dig through my many baskets to see what is next......

And as you can see I have also now discovered how to attach a photo......it may need fine tuning but it's there!

Welcome

Welcome to my blog where I will share "yarns" about my latest craft projects, my gardening exploits, what I'm reading and life in general.....As you can see I have joined OPAM 2014 with the hope that it will encourage me to finish off numerous UFOs in particular - of which I seem to have many!  Believe me that in the time taken to set up this blog I could have finished at least a couple of those UFOs!...and you will have to bear with me while I fine tune a few points! As you can see there is no picture.....yet!
