Friday finishes

Today I haven't quite got the finishes I wanted to but have achieved something in the last couple of days.  

The snap closure pouch has turned into a drawstring bag which I think will hold my stitching goodies, or perhaps those hexagons, scissors, thread to stitch on the go when I need something quick to do while waiting on kids or activities.

The left bag is a snap closure bag not quite finished need to put a finish around the top.

The dresdens did get a bit or airing  but not quite there also, just a bit more work than I thought.

Perhaps some time in the weekend may see some more progress.

But gardening was also on the agenda and planting veges also...  still waiting on the vege plots to be built by my dh so I gave up waiting...

Can you see the seat I sit on to stitch in the sun hiding behind the roses

My view looking out, such a peacful spot when no one can find me......

veges... I do hope they grow...

Have a great weekend wishing you have sunshine and happiness.

In a pickle

Well I'm in a pickle...  Yes siree.... what to finish first???  And that's only what is out. Boy do I have to start to focus, but housework keeps getting in the way, kids and that d...n cooking thing!!!

Please also bear with me as I try to tidy up my blog which has been on the agenda for ages and as it has started raining tonight I do not feel as I need to be outside gardening, 26 today here in the far south on New Zealand..  Yes that is true!!!

Thanks for visiting until next time

Happy stitching sharon

Weather frustration

You would think being November we would have some settled weather, but it has been worse than winter in June July.  Never mind at least you dont feel guilty about being in the sewing room and paris thinks its ok too.

Here is my progress today in the wool/applique pouch.....

Those stitches are so much fun and give it such dimension..

If you do lots of stitching on your blocks it pays to get a step by step embroidery book,  I use these two and they have great photo instructions...

If you are left handed, they do have the left-handed embroiderer's companion also.

Until next time, happy stitching

sunshine makes you motivated

When the sun comes out its amazing how much more we can get done.  even in the sewing room....

My achievements for the day in only a couple of hours....

Here is a sample I ampreparing for a class sample for December  a bit more to go but on my way.

This will end up as a tool rollup for your necessities when stitching...  A bit of applique, wool stitching, vynal pockets etc.

and here is the continuation of the stitching I have been doing.  I have cut a couple of samples to put this on and here are the colours

Thats all today away to kids activities..  taxi driver again...  

Happy Stitching
