Happy New Year

Just wishing everyone a very happy, healthy New Year!  One which will be full of stitching and sewing to share lol.

Birthday Love Stash 2013

I've noticed a few lovely ladies are joining in on the Birthday Love Stash project over on Wendy's lovely blog called sugar lane quilts.  It sounds like a fantastic idea and one that I will be able to join in on easily.  If you are interested in reading more about it please click on the button on my side bar and pop over for a visit.    (Well that's if I have managed to do it right lol).  There is no link on the one below.

Snowman

Now this is another Xmas item that was made by my mum.  Snowy the snowman.  Have no idea where the pattern came from or the original designer though as I had no idea she was making them.

Threads

Well I have all my threads organised now.  Fristly after lots of labelling and winding onto cards I now have new boxes to hold all my threads.  Now have every colour of DMC yay!

These are the boxes that I bought from Bunnings of all places.  I got them for $6.85 each in the storage section.  I also had a $50 gift card to spend there so it all worked out very well.

So they are a little larger than the Birch branded ones we can get here.  I also have a slightly different format one that will be used to house the precut threads ie cottage garden etc.  The beauty is they all stack together well and are of uniform size.

Magnolia

Well magnolia is finished and at the stage that I need to work out how to make it into a book cover.  Might have to look up a tute.  Might also do a quick little stitchery and have a practise first lol.  It could be the start of Xmas 2013 gifts lol.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all my bloggy friends.  Have a wonderful day with family and friends.

DMC and a new table centre

The last of the DMC I needed has arrived.  So many lovely colours all jumbled together.

This is a table centre for Xmas.  Just bought a lovely scented candle and some sprigs of xmas follage and artfully placed them round the candle lol.  Not the best photo but it will look brilliant on the day and the scent from the candle is lovely without it being burnt too.
