As promised here is my progress on my latest stitching, as soon as I saw this chart I knew I had to have it, and as soon as it plopped onto the carpet through the letterbox I kneew I was going to start it - no exceptions for any other pieces I'm doing, this was
the one!!
The design is by Martine Leonard and is called 'La Cage D'Eglantine' isn't it pretty so far.
Next up is a picture of the workshop I did at
Fobbles earlier this month...
We made needleboxes and it was great fun - Here are a few of the finishes taken from the top of them. THANKYOU Ladies for coming I really enjoyed teaching the class and I am looking forward very much to our next smalls workshop.
More on Fobbles later this post as it's some
VERY VERY VERY Exciting news.
Next up is my stash acquisitions........
As you can see I have been treating myself, there is still some more to come, some
MORE Blackbird Designs and some Homespun Elegance and some Shepherds Bush, I should be getting them early next week.
I bought 2 of
NatalieJo beautiful designs and I am itching to start them too, her instructions for the finish are so lovely and clear and the charts are marvellous, I can't recommend them enough.
I also got myself the lovely Friendship Sweet Bag by Jeanette Douglas, its going to make the perfect gift for someone when I have stitched it.
Now talking of
Jeanette Douglas, the very lady herself, will be teaching a workshop in Autumn 2010 at
Fobbles I do beleive there may be a couple of spare places left, so if you contact Bev or Edna at Fobbles they will be able to tell you.
ALSO
There is more..... Next May (2011)
Ellen Chester of With My Needle is coming to the UK and teaching at Fobbles as well (again, contact
Fobbles for all the details if you fancy coming, their address and phone number are on there) - See, I told you I had exciting news, not One but Two lovely designers coming up to my pretty part of Cumbria and I am going to both,
I can't wait, I'm so excited, and I mean excited, if you knew me, you would know that I won't stop talking about it and get all giddy with it all LOL!
Thankyou for asking about my driving lessons, they are going well, slowly but steadily - I can now parallel park the car and my turns in the road (3 point turn) are excellent if I say so myself, I have finally mastered the art of not stalling at every junction (now just every other - No just kidding I haven't stalled for a while now LOL), and I am finally enjoying going around roundabouts, which if you knew where I live you cannot get anywhere in this county without going around at least 3 roundabouts to get anywhere.
Hope you all have a good weekend, its Mothering Sunday here in the UK tomorrow, so Happy Mothers Day to all you Mums and most especially Mine xx
