Pre June IHSW pic

The Garden ball is finished but no pics yet sorry folks so that means that I can back to my normal stitching, it felt very strange last night to work on something else!

Anyway here's my pre IHSW.  I'm off to a craft fair this morning until tomorrow evening so I have no idea how much will actually get done but progress will be made

Garden Ball

As I said in my TUSAL post yesterday I've spent the last few weeks working on nothing but Twisted Oaks Garden Pincushion Ball and I have finally finished all the stitching.

I've used Slightly Buttery from Sparklies and the called for Dinky Dye Silk and my version says flower not garden to fit in with the entry.








Now I just have to finish putting it together which is well under way and make the cord

TUSAL time

I'm a little late posting this month because I've been on the annual stitching weekend with friends and couldn't post it while I was there.

This time I've added orts from The Zoo, Merry Christmas and the Garden Ball along with nymo etc and that's it!
I know your used to a list of projects but I've had to concentrate on the ball to get it done for the Cheshire show so haven't worked on anything else for weeks now the surprising thing is I'm not bored stiff with it!

Zebra Beaders Exhibition pic heavy

A couple of days ago I went to Lichfield to see an Exhibition of bead work in the Heritage Centre and it was well worth the trip.







You may remember I've done something similar to the triangle bracelet


The Sphere is on my to do list


He reminds me of Scrat from the Ice Age movies



I have lots more pics but they can wait
