My website now has a store!

I've just finished updating my website to include a Store.

Items currently available are: leaflets (cross stitch, crochet and knitting); books (cross stitch); cross stitch accessories; and thimbles. Soon, I will have a couple of my original patterns available as well.

Happy Stitching!

Progress update

Here is an updated photo of my progress on Rune Sampler. This was taken before I did any stitching last night so I have made even more progress than this photo shows.





Happy Stitching!

Rune Sampler update

Here is my progress on my Rune Sampler as of 7 March 2010. The runes stitch up quickly but the border is so detailed that it takes full concentration. This represents the finish of page 1 of 4.

I have been working on it since, but this is the most recent photo.

Happy Stitching!

Great needlework quote!

I was watching Lark Rise to Candleford (BBC tv series, season 1) last week and heard this quote:

"Because for a needlewoman, embroidery it's like the poet taking up the pen. It expresses her deepest longing."

Happy Stitching!

Cats & Quilts

I don't know what the fascination is between cats and quilts, but apparently my cat, Spooky has it! She burrowed under the quilt that I am working on and this is what I could see of her.

Thread Crochet

Lately, I've been on a thread crochet binge. I work on these projects while watching TV with my DH or while riding in the car.


This is a doily that I did from an issue of Magic Crochet. Finished size is 32in. in diameter.




I've also been making crocheted snowflakes. Here are the first 10 that I've crocheted, starched and dried.

These are from the book 101 Snowflakes from American School of Needlework.

Happy Stitching!
