A Finish

Yay, I have finished the Tooth Fairy cushion. This was purchased as a kit last January on special but still couldn't really afford it. I did the picture smocking in September last year and it has sat waiting patiently to be assembled until now. The pattern and kit were from Country Bumpkin - my all time favourite shop.

This photo shows the little piped pocket at the back for the money -can't wait to use it.
And as I suspected this little free stitchery also completed - these birds have won my heart.

I have only the Stocking to complete this month to make me happy in my progress -I am determined to rid myself of WISPs although frightened this may make me keel over!!

Unfortunately I have gotten distracted by a Kangaroo for Kindergym, A new library bag for Sir TP(his design - cant wait to show you this) some marble bags and My BOMs (Why do I get the feeling I will have more WISPs to show for this blog experience. The stocking has been in its craft bag in my craft space for 5 years. It was purchased as a kit and uses Anchor thread (which I dont have much joy with). It is mostly done some bits of backstitch and the odd stitch to finish and then construction -sounds so simple -Wish me luck.

February Projects

It was 43.5 degrees yesterday in Adelaide and about the same today. The old air conditioner is struggling on but I cant bear the thought of a light on or the light from my machine heating up the house. I had thought I might surprise myself and get one more project finished this month - I am very close to finishing a softie for my daughter and a Christmas Stitchery I found free on May Britts site. But I feel this heat will defeat me so I will post my unfinished projects for February up just in case my next sacrifice is turning off my beloved computer.

This is a smocked fairy ready to be sewn into a tooth fairy pillow for TP(Master 6) fortunately for me we are genetically slow at losing teeth.

This is a Christmas stocking for TP, just tilt your monitor and you will see it.

And this is the fabric I am using to make Phoebe by Melly and Me ( I am still hoping to finish this by the end of January).
