Wrens in the making

I started stitching Trish Burr’s ‘For the Love of Wrens’ design nearly two weeks ago and so far I have stitched the branch, the tails and the eyes and I can truly say it is the most challenging kit I have stitched so far. As I mentioned in my post about starting this kit, I…

This morning I visited the ‘150 years of the Royal School of Needlework: Crown to Catwalk exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum.
Some colourful inspiration for my next embroidery project…#observersbooks
Finished the crochet part of my new top. Have to block it first before sewing it together and knitting the hems with a nice stripy band. I am hoping it will be dry on Wednesday so I can take it with me when in travel to the UK as it will be a nice relaxing project to work on besides my detailed embroidery. #crochet
I really was in need of quicker project, which would show progress and also a lot of colour. When I saw this project by @lanagrossa I loved it and bought a kit from @knottenwol. It will be a summer top and I have already finished two-thirds of the back, started 4 days ago, and I have just been crocheting in the evenings in front of the tellie! It is my first time crocheting an item of clothing (I have primarily made scarves, bags, amigurumi and throws) am really hoping I can make it fit properly but there always should be a challenge, shouldn’t there? #crochet
🐌 🐌 🐌 but some more steps forward ahead of my next classes in two weeks time…#rsndiploma
A workshop of a very different kind today. I thought it would be nice to get my dad an experience for his birthday rather than an actual thing. From a few creative workshops I had picked he chose a woodturning workshop.
I got my new prescription glasses just before the weekend and it always takes me quite a while to adjust to them. My eyes felt so tired and were definitely not up for anything detailed or close-up (let alone both!).
Couldn’t resist ‘playing’ with my new cabinet. I found that it was really difficult to keep all of the thimbles equally spaced so they look all neat and tidy.
If you have been following my account for a while you know I have been looking for ages for a countertop display-cabinet. They always turned out too large to properly display the tiny thimbles and antique needlecraft tools in my collection. Until yesterday!
