So much to tell...pt 1

Hi everyone,

I've drawn the next recipient of the travelling pattern, so it is now on it's way up north to Sam. you can visit Sam's blog here.

 It's been a busy week so I shall fill you in on some today and tell you about my day with Laura and my first lesson in crochet tomorrow.

This week started with my friend's daughter starting high school this week so I made her a little bag tag. I put stars on it as Carenza really is one. She's not really a girly girl so blue seemed a good idea.

As readers of Laura's blog will know too, it was her 1st wedding anniversary today so I made a little biscornu for her and her husband. The pattern was one I found on Pinterest. I’ve quite fancied doing a biscornu like this with a coloured fabric and white thread, so it was a joy to do (Except for the bit where I miscounted and had to re-stitch some of it!)

I shall be back on the Hello Kitty biscornu now which was one of my 101/1001. I’ve made a bit of progress this week and finished another book (the Iron Horse by Edward Marston) and started an Agatha Raisin. Thomas and I have been reading Danny The champion of the world too. It’s my favourite Roald Dahl book and I’m enjoying it so much.

That's all for today, tomorrow I'll fill you in on meeting fellow blogger Laura, learning to crochet and my hexagon quilt (oh yes it has begun!) Have a good weekend. xx

And we have a winner (or two)

The Travelling Pattern

before we start, there is still 2 days to enter my giveaway here, If you haven't done already, go on you know you want to!

A while ago I put my name forward for this travelling pattern. It was started by Cucki last October and I didn't get selected to recieve it next, nor did I when it went to Jo, anyhoo the person who did recieve it wasn't able to do it so a week or so ago Jo offered it up again. Well long story short I got it (yay go me!) so here is my version of the pattern stitched on sparkly ice blue aida with my new favourite thread from Dinky Dyes called Luna Park. It was such a quick stitch and only took me a few days to do. I can't decide where to hang it though, Hall or Kitchen????
