Bergamot, Buns and Blimey

Lots of b's today. 



Finally was able to take a really good shot of my elusive ninja hamster. Bergamot the Ninja hamster who likes to escape, lost count now. He's cute for a furball but he's a pain in the neck owing to the fact he's very jumpy and doesn't particularly like being handled. So it makes for a bit of a love hate relationship. Anyway, I was mainly trying out my new camera now that I have finally gotten round to getting a SD card for it, so yay! Looking forward to testing it out in Washington in the fall. 

What's with the buns and the blimey though, I can hear you asking. Well the buns is because I am making 'easy' iced buns, well we will see if they are easy when they are finished proofing. They are for tea tomorrow, seeing Anna (UK handmade).

The blimey is for...well I have decided its about time I do something stumpwork related whilst I am working on ideas for my collab with Heidi, just a small piece, not that I do anything large but anyway here's a nice shot so you can see what I have in mind. It's based on a Christmas decoration I purchased many years back. I am thinking of a good mix of liberty fabrics and stitching is a must. Will keep you posted on its progress.

I leave this post on I hope your enjoying the lovely spring weather as much as I am.

  1. I wish you the best of luck with the buns and the stumpwork piece - stumpwork definitely needs more publicity, it's a beautiful art. Bergamot is adorable - but then, he's a guinea pig, so it kind of goes without saying...
