Well I know it's been a while since I posted on here just because I've been away on my holidays. Also my puppy is keeping me busy so I've done very little stitching. But as you can see she's very cute and easily gets my attention ....

Up cycled necklace

Good morning everyone, I thought I'd upload a picture of my recent make. I made it from an old necklace which had broken.
It's made from a special thin net tube and I fed the beads into tube and made this for the summer.
I've already had a few compliments when I wore for the first time.
So if you have a necklace you like that's broken try to get this netting from a craft shop , there's lots of different colours.
Have a nice day.

Lace waistcoat

Good morning everyone, I made this over the weekend for my holiday in a couple of weeks , it should dress up a simple tee shirt and its light to pack.

Fantasy flowers

Hi everyone,
It's been a long time since I posted on here I've been so busy! I've been back to the day job after my bout Of ill health and I am struggling to fit everything into my life ! I'm stubborn though so am very determined to manage my lifestyle so I can do it all ! I went to a workshop recently ran by my freind Alex Waylett . She encouraged me to use different colours and showed me a few new things I can use. In my work. Here's the finished sample I did which has turned out really good , I did go off on my own tangent a bit though ...I'm such a bad student ! It's all ready for framing now. I am going to do more in this style I think as I do like the soft hazy look.

It's side on the bird is at the top.

exhibition Of Islam &Buddism

Good morning everyone.
I've been so busy lately and am trying to make sure I still find time for stitch . We're having really good feedback about it and a lot of people are going to see it.
I did manage manage to do a video of the exhibition which I'll post so that you get an idea of what's there.
We have also had requests to take it elsewhere which is great.
It's called Parallel Pathways II and it's a comparison of Islam and Buddism through the art of textile art.its with my freind Sandy and we are known as Chalk & Cheese.

Gloves

Well hi everyone I just thought I'd share my recent make with you . I haven't made anything using crotchet ( except blankets) for ages. I saw this wool in my friends shop and I just had to have it as I love the colours. I am making a pair of fingerless gloves with this lovely wool. After not crocheting for a while I am finding it very therapeutic .

Tunic

well hello everyone I know it's been a while but it ve been busy making myself clothes.....I struggle sometimes with clothes because of my shape ..I am Apple shaped and sometimes things don't hang right so I decided to make somethings as I found a great new fabric shop just opened nearby.
Here's a sample

I'm also making some longline waterfall cardigans so. I'll post one when I've done it.
This is my own pattern above and really easy to do. I wore it on the afternoon after I'd made it in the morning !
