Hello

Thank you for looking at my blog. My latest passion is applique which I have been doing since 2015. I love making things and learning new crafts On this blog you will see some of the things I have been working on. You will also see wonderful items created by other people. When I am not crafting I enjoy being with family and friends, singing and family history. My favourite place in the whole world is anywhere by the sea and I have to get my fix every few weeks. My favourite colour is PURPLE but I love turquoise too!

Safe Haven

My big, big, big stitching is done. It contains all my treasured fabrics, lace, beads and buttons. It is 2.5 metres long and 32cms wide. It took 12 weeks to complete and the slow, slow, slow stitching anchored me during these strange times. I have hidden lots of sea words in the depths and many of them also describe emotions during this time. It will be wound round a large bobbin for display.
 
What now? I have lots of knitting and crochet to do and a bit of ice dyeing too. I have ordered another smaller vintage bobbin so a companion piece might be on the cards. I am thinking bluebell wood colours.
