Love it when a plan comes together

Have been working hard this week and apart from a break on Wednesday when I met up with a friend for coffee and chat, been ensconced in my sewing room.

Working on some old and some new projects starting with the last knitted bodice dress, pretty in pink and in this case a magenta top.



Needle minders

Been thinking of these for a while made out of wood blanks and some pretty prints added to the fronts. A floral button added to the bottom magnet makes it easy to remove from the top part, holding your needle. Then came the decision, how to display. A hoop seemed the obvious item but had to add 'Needle Minder' in cross stitch to the centre then of course some broderie anglais lace.


Order for lavender sachets, all packaged and waiting for courier collection on Monday




Sold another lavender lady to the same lovely customer who bought the last 3



Some more fun paperclips





Finally the Strawberry Lavender Sachets, these have been a bit stop and start as ran out of green embroidery thread so could not finish. Mainly because gave a load of thread to my sister when I had a de-clutter.




Linking up with Handmade Monday


Until next week, have fun and try to dodge the rain

Lavender, roses and thunder storms

We have been having a mini heat wave in the UK but as normal Saturday morning brought a hum dinger of a thunderstorm and rain. Always love how it smells and feels after rain though as when it has been hot seems to freshen everything up. Even the birds seem louder and we have plenty of those singing in the trees from 4am, lol.

Makes this week:

Knitted bodice baby dress, this has been on my needles for some time and finally finished, think that the vintage style rose bud fabric is perfect for the cable and moss stitch bodice.



Still on a knitting binge and lavender ladies , these are so cute and fun to make. This is 'Freda' more styles coming soon.


With all this knitting have had a relaxing week, plus staying cool by an open window. Sometimes moving away from my machines is a good thing.

Until next time
