It's absolutely beautiful Jo and have fun at Tai Chi!

This morning at craft class I received this bag which I commissioned from a fellow member, Pauline! She is so talented I absolutely love it! And it fits my 14 inch R & R frame perfectly!

Here was me moaning about 3 stranded stitches It is looking wonderful and colourful and joyful

I had him on the frame after Apples but before Grow Your Own as I really wanted to start the evenweave

Awww thanks Carole glad you enjoyed it

Jo - I understand your resolution as it does get out of hand doesn't it? I've vowed to go the opposite way and just not bother with any resolutions as I can never stick to them :lol: Carole - It was always aida only for the Wrendale kits but now they have made them available in evenweave too so can ...

Hello all I hope you're all having a lovely festive break! Sorry for my absence, I have been floating about in the background, but haven't done much stitching myself until recently. I was getting frustrated with the apples and the amount of different stitches there were (still a relative novice comp...

I love feeding the birds! I have a wall mounted suet pellet feeder, fat ball feeder and two Big Easy seed feeders with sunflower hearts. I'm having to go out every other day to fill them! I usually get House Sparrows, Goldfinches, Chaffinches, Greenfinches and Starlings as well as Robins, Blue Tits,...

Just been to my last craft class of 2022 where we did a needle felting workshop! Never done it before but really enjoyed it and I now have my little bauble on the tree at home

The Magpie has become a regular visitor, I know some people don't like them but I do, they have only colonised our part of Scotland relatively recently and I enjoy w...

Interesting experiment Jo. I only use John James size 26 needles whether it's 14 or 16 count fabric. I'm not a fan of gold plated needles, nearly every one I've tried squeaked through the holes. I have one beading needle which is the perfect size which I got in a cheap packet of sewing needles for s...

Well done Jo this is an outstanding finish and, as Wendy says, not something I'd do myself but I am in awe of your patience and tenacity with this and all the different aspects of it. A truly stunning piece!

Lovely start on Fall Fairy

Absolutely stunning work Jo! I always look forward to your updates xxx

Awww Debby you and your friends are going to have a great time! I live in Carnoustie on the east coast just outside Dundee but have visited Deeside many times on day trips and love that area so much! Banchory is lovely and has Crathes Castle which is a great castle to visit, Aboyne has a lovely gift...

I'm watching it too with my parents and nephew. History in the making indeed...

Such beautiful intricate stitching as always Jo! That motorbike is so realistic I'm waiting for it to vroom out of the fabric...

I think Riolis are known for them and also Dimensions if I remember right I'm enjoying it but taking it slow.

I bought this one Debby
