June Smalls challenge

Here it is at last, a plastic canvas Christmas decoration. Great to have the challenge to actually finish anything.

Last weekend I started a small reticella project (my first in this type of embroidery). Having fun with that, hopefully my first finish in this type of project will become a pin cushion!

May Smalls challenge

Another cute little design, I love my needlework tools so this is an apt project for me!!

Meanwhile, I have started a new lace piece with some interesting new stitches, and have been working away at a beautiful embroidery piece of roses by Dimensions.

April Smalls challenge

Another Small start and finish: Berry Sweet and "Merry Moose" which I love and started some time ago.

March 2016 Smalls challenge

Here is my March challenge at last, just made it!!

Also below is a Milanese lace piece I finished today!

February Smalls challenge

Whew, one day left of February, so just made it with finishing my small. I have a few bookmark kits, so thought it's time I made one:

Colours are quite pretty and an easy finish, just had to fringe the ends!! My kind of finish LOL

Smalls challenge January 2016

Just finished my January 2016 smalls challenge, Mill Hill Kitty's Stocking: Here it is. I started on Jan 1st and just finished!!

January 2015

Well, I haven't blogged for a long long while, but here I am again!! Above is the mandarin/lemon cheesecake that I made this afternoon, couldnt stop at one piece!

I've decided to join the WIPocalypse again, when I last did it, it was excellent to show progress on my pieces. I remember I selected a few pieces to focus on. I have made a lot of progress on The Token (one over one piece) from Longdogs and have nearly finished pages 3 and 4. First focus will be to finish pages 5 and 6, which won't be too hard as they are shorter pages. I'll post photos shortly when pages 3 and 4 are complete.

The other pieces haven't really seen light of day since I posted about them the last time. I have so many small Mill Hill ornaments "nearly" completed, I will make an effort and finish the mitten one.

Meanwhile I have been doing quite a lot of other things, lacemaking and also a new type of whitework called Sardinian, main stitch is knots. Yvette Stanton hs written the book and there are some lovely projects in it.

Well that's all for now, promise to post more pics soon.
