Lots Going On!

I have not blogged for a while as we have had some rather sad news. Our beautiful, funny, bouncy Standard Wirehaired Dachshund has been diagnosed with a slipped disc in his neck.  Which means any sudden jarring could mean a catastrophic event.





and yes he is that cute!

Anyway, back to sewing, I have done loads, more of my 'Bee' Blocks.....



 I still have a long way to go to improve my embroidery, but at the moment I am throughly enjoying myself!



I also love Jenny of Elefantz  and have joined her monthly stitchery club, so have done a couple of her small embroidery patterns.



I have also finished two presents, one for my youngest Great Neice


and this for my Great Nephew, the first boy in our family for over 80 years!

A Pirate quilt!

Sew it begins!

I have sewn for donkeys years, clothes for the girls, myself. Curtains, Roman Blinds, basically I will give anything a go!

A few years back a friend and I where out for the day and saw a sign, 'Try Quilting' Workshop £5. Now we like a bargain so signed up. That is how normal people take a perfectly good piece of material, cut it up into small bits then sew it back together again, begin!

Here I am 3+ years later still cutting and sewing, but I have added, very recently 'Embroidery' to my list.

I am currently working on two 'sew alongs' the first is the  Splendid Sampler with Pat Sloan 2 blocks a week have been released, although I am behind, I am thoroughly enjoying this as it is pushing me to try new skills.


The other one is Bee-utiful Quilt Along

this is mainly embroidery blocks which will be put together to make a quilt!


It is ages since I have embroidered, currently I need something relatively simple to do as my concentration levels are very bad.


Due to coming off some medication, but on the plus side, the side effects have totally gone


The doctor is trying to find a new medication for me


in the meantime I sew, it keeps my mind occupied,


and I'm enjoying  myself. Any stitches I don't know how to do, I check out You tube!


Its fun


I like doing new things
