Mini Stitchery

I've been rather productive lately, or at least it feels like it. I will go with that.

What have I been up to then well I've designed new clocks, ordered the parts and just waiting for those to arrive and then I crack on with those. I can't wait. I can even strike one more thing off my list of things to do. I've stitched two mini art works and the third and final one is just getting under way now. Though I say last only in that I've run out of the tiny hoops so until I get more they will be the first batch. Mind they make a good filler till I get my clocks bits and then I get on with those. I've listed a few items that have sat on my desk waiting to be finished, and they now have and are now in store.




They are so cute and diddy, only a mere 3" across and approx. £15.00 each. The third one will be a little a toadstool I think, not quite sure, I have a couple of other sketches I'd like to do but then I might keep those for the clock.

Weirdly today we have sun, it's also whilst a little nippy I have the windows open and the fresh air is a welcome change to the stuffy air from having the heaters on all day. Thank christ the snow has finally gone and then perhaps we call get back to normalish. I'm now on a small break from work which is good, excellent timing to be honest. Though I have to do less crafting and try and get myself on the hunt for something a little more me.

Have a good day folks.

Times a ticking

I don't know about you but am wondering where the time is going? It's what already the 12th? Not that I am complaining January by standards isn't the best, and I'd rather it go by rather quickly. That said though I also want to be perhaps in sights of working for a new company. So anyone with suggestions for job hunting can you leave me a message. I'm always open for tips.

That aside I'm actually working on some new projects, and also have an interview for a magazine...squee, but I won't say more on that till later. So on with what I'm working on:

 + Mini embroideries for the wall
 + Wall clocks see what I have done recently below
 + Pastel  coloured button needlecases, perfect for the spring 

Yes another clock, a different style and I bloody love it. I already have in the works at least another two to three designs, so now it's literally a matter of gaining some more supplies and stitching. Will keep you informed of the progress as it goes.



So what do you think?
More images can be found at my store and on my flickr account, links located on the side bar.

Snow Days and Stitching


Making the most of having an extra day off this week, so perhaps the snow isn't all the bad, but it's sure is a lot still outside and we've not had any more snow today.

I made the Snow Robin that I was itching to make, and I carried on my stitching. I'm working on an idea that I am not quite ready to show you what it is. I made an example yesterday, and I'm so thrilled with it, I won't show you till it's done. All I will say it's another clock. Different from what I have made recently. So in the mean time look at these images to wet your appetite. Anyway now it's time to eat.
