Brutus The 5th

Please excuse Brutus ... he's feeling a little fuzzy after a late night watching the fireworks.


This is the 5th Brutus from Bronwyn at Red Brolly and he's my 7th completed stitchery ... I went a little out of order.

I've also found this cute tag and added some text. For those who'd like to join in making 1 Xmas item a month this year ... see earlier post or link on left side bar ... you might like to add this button.


Happy Sewing

Brutus #6

Still sitting and stitching :o)

Brutus #6 is complete and I'm about to trace the next one ... I'll go back now and do number 5 next.

Please stay safe what ever your weather.

Stitch or Swim

Water water everywhere ... not just here but everywhere ... and if it's not raining, it's snowing. May you all stay safe.

The creeks and rivers in the area have been up and down for most of December. Sometimes flooding us in for a day or two ... and then we make a quick dash to town for supplies. At the moment we've been flooded in since the 20th ... so what's a crafty person to do? Sew of course.
This is Brutus #9 completed in one day ... now #6 is in my embroidery hoop and waiting in line are numbers 5, 7, 8 and 9b.

Christmas morning I was thrilled to open my goodies from Pat for our 6 Xmas Items Swap. Pat has truely spoilled me with such lovely goodies and I must wonder if she has been reading my mind. Fabric to play with, some yummy chocolates, nice smells, sewing accessories and the ideal item for rainy weather ... a 2 in 1 'Elm Creek Quilts' novel.


My heartfelt thanks to Pat ... and to Maree for organizing this great swap.

I have made many wonderful new friends through blogging and swaps in 2010 and look forward to those continued friendship and making new friends in 2011.

Thankyou Y

Stitch by Stitch Brutus Appears

In the evenings I like to sit and stitch while glancing at the television now and then. It helps me to wind down from the days rush and bustle.

My second Brutus block from Bronwyn Hayes 'Catalicious' is DONE! And I started on the next one last night.

A stitch a day keeps the troubles away.
Enjoy the weekend!

Catalicious One

Although I haven't had any finished projects lately ... I am finishing items ... like Block 1 of the Catalicious BOM which can be found over here at Red Brolly. My BF has also finished her first block and can be viewed at Forever Friday.

I've also managed one hexigon flower for each of the last two Wednesdays ... and it's Wednesday again tomorrow so more gardening for me.

I'm currently working on Block 4 of Red Delicious and when that's finished ... it's on to the next pussy cat.

Happily handworking up a storm.
