Welcome

As the song from Gilmore Girls says “So welcome to my little corner of the world”. It’s all about me and my crafting – focusing around my love for stitching and sewing along with anything else that catches my eye. So welcome, grab a coffee and happy reading.

Gifted gorgeousness May

Hello friends and a big welcome to my new followers too

It's been a bit of a dry month stitching wise. Both my kids celebrated their birthdays at the end of April (a day apart) so most of the second half of April passed in a blur of cleaning, party planning and cooking. And the beginning of May recovering so I missed wipocalypse and the smalls sal check ins too. 

Yesterday I heard that the travelling box I do with friends is coming to me again in the next couple of weeks. It's a lot earlier than planned due to circumstances of some of the other ladies who take part so  I spent yesterday evening pulling patterns  ready to start stitching. Today I shall kit then all up and finish the 9th part of the ABC sal. 

So here is what I did manage to make...  



They will both be gifts for friends when I can decide how to finish them off. I'm erring towards a chain rather than cords. Thoughts?

I did have this fantastic parcel from Laura as she was having a clear out...


Lots of fabric, books, 2 kits and some beads and embellishments. 

I've had a couple of lovely non stitching related gifts too this week. Hubby brought me a lovely Paperchase writing set and my sister in law brought me a Cath Kidston handbag! Lucky me! 

I'm off to check out the other GG participants and see what you've all been up to. Have a great week.

  1. You got some great stash and lovely gifts this month. They are cute hearts. I would probably finish with a twisted cord hanger (using the floss you stitched with).

  7. Lovely pendants - I would finish with a thin leather cord personally but I'm sure you will find the perfect way to finish them!

  12. I've just read down several posts, and you have a lot of fun stuff going on! I love your header photo. Did you make all those? Are they hard to make? I do counted cross stitch and quilting, but I don't sew little fiddly things. So beautiful!!
