Are We Nearly There Yet?

I can almost see the light at the end of the sewing-tunnel.  I have been so busy I have been slack with the posts; must try harder!  Here are some images of Autumnal Collars and Whimsical Folk canvas collages.  I really like to imagine what some of the characters are thinking... 
 
Also, I have had a brilliant response from the Deer Collar feature in Mollie Makes, thanks to everyone that contacted me and who made their own collars.

Deer Collar

I was very excited when my subscription to 'Mollie Makes' magazine squashed through the rather too small letter-box.  I had a 'making' feature' inside of a Deer Collar, and I was thrilled with the results!  Lots of other lovely ideas and features too, and a BIG thanks to the sweet Jane Foster for mentioning me in her blog, (her screen printed Santas are on the page before me!).

Movember

They speak for themselves...

Girl Crush

I have been really busy with orders and feel I could stitch a face in my sleep now!  Here are a few faces that I like alot...

Happy Holidays...

These are my new 'winter hanging folk', they remind me of characters from an old 1950s American movie involving a huge twinkly department store with a moving Santa in the window, ice skaters, and maybe a bumbling but hansome Cary Grant!  Vivid imagination I know; they are felt people... get a grip!

Still Here!

I have not dropped off the face of the earth, and am indeed still here.  I have been really busy with pre-Christmas making/designing/general stressing 'stuff'.  Any how, here are some pictures from 'The Stitch and Knit Show' at Alexandra Palace.  Myself and the lovely Gerry www.skiffvintageknittingpatterns.co.uk visited last week and had a nice if not rushed time of it!  Here are some images of work from the Gallery section...

The embroidered truck door and hand-embroidered ribbon were quite amazing.

Terrible Twins!

Found some images of  mittens I made last year from recycled jumpers; thought they were apt with the weather getting chillier.  I always  get amusing comments when I wear my pair of twins!
