Rainbow Colours

The weather turned bad down south a week ago soo cold,  I felt like it was winter, so i got in front of the fire I got out the wool and crochet hook and started that rug I have been meaning to get to.  Just lovely colours of the rainbow... as my DD No 3 said. Is it for me!!

I'm not sure how big to make this. What do you think?

Happy Stitching until next visit.

HAPPY EASTER

Happy EASTER, I hope you all had EASTER bunny visit. Our visit to Arrowtown has been hindered by sickness when we arrived by the youngest dd getting the vomiting bug and only coming right on Monday.  When we ventured out to do the Easter egg hunt in the town perhaps it was half an hour and too much for her tired body we headed back home to the arrowtown dwelling.  It was not going to be our weekend though as we got hit by a power outage at 5-45 while dinner was cooking. 🔦 So off to the pub for dinner while poor dad waited for the contractor to arrive, which finally happened at 9-30pm and wella power back on.  It's sad when candlelight doesn't allow for stitching. I have however progressed some projects prior to the blackout. Photos to follow...😄

Punch frenzy

Hello, welcome to sunday on my blog,  I have recently discovered via another blog love to stitch a new tool for those of you that just love paper piecing but find the task of cutting papers or purchasing bulk papers getting costly.

Fiskars have bought out a new punch for hexagons...  YES hexagons... here it is

One size is Xtra Large and that punches templates 1"
The Other is Large and that punches 3/4"

I save those subscription inserts in the magazines and I was going to have to mark them all and cut them, but haha now I have these punches and they will do the job for me...  thank you for the info on your blog Raewyn Love to Stitch
