What have I been up to lately? Well, work has been keeping me busy, so I haven’t had much to post yet. But I’ve been working on a few things here and there…
A bit more of “Enjoy Today” (satin stitch is still doing my head in, but it’s getting there!)
I finished my Merry Snowmen latch hook…
And I took another trip to Spotlight because they had 30% off printed fabric!
I’ve acquired some cream and red fabric for all those Christmas stitheries, as well as a couple of different options for my “New Beginnings” that I want to start soon. And of course, no trip would be complete without a couple more fat quarters!
I also ordered some hanky linen online for some of my projects that are in a set, just to make it easier if I choose to do the other ones – with my track record, it’ll be years and then I won’t be able to find the old fabric! I also grabbed a couple of pieces of wool felt that I need for another project I’m doing as a present.
It’s been a bit of stash building, but in my defence almost all of it has plans – now I just need to set up my study/craft room and give myself some space to put it all!
Which bit is satin stitched? The hooked rug looks great. In your defence, i think there’s actually a law that says when you go to a craft shop you have to buy more than you need…
The centres of the flowers, as well as the buds, are all in satin stitch! There’s a lot of them! I’ve been putting it off for a bit, because it requires concentration. Hoping to finish them on my next days off from work.
I think I like the sound of this law…
