Well as usual I'm trying to do too much all at once, and my sewing machine is being rather moody so I thought I would spend some time in cyber space. Actually the computer was free, I pounced. Here are some recent doin's and fidlin's.

First of all I finished my trousers. They are really warm, just what is needed in these arctic conditions.

 

hanky

It's one of those times when I'm sewing so many things at once that I've got nothing finished to show. Except for this little hanky made especially for HS!

mobile

I made this mobile for Eddie; my friend's baby. The sewing was just fun but when it came to assembling it I was at a bit of loss. It is tricky to get the weight right, and get it all to balance. But once you get it right and the little birds all start bobbing on their axis it is the most satisfying thing!

The whole experience has made me want to check out the Calder mobiles that are on show at the Royal Academy of Art at the moment.

Yard sale

This coming Friday I'm gonna be selling a few sewn things that have piled up around he place, some bags, some necklaces and a few hangings, at the Open Studios at Pullens Yards.

fancy stitch

These are the presents I made for my ladies in Barcelona. It was so much fun going there to deliver them. They come under the heading of "things made using the fancy stiches" on my husqvarna.

There she is.

Thank you Zoe, for taking the fantastic photos of these necklaces, you're the best. And so are you Harriet, too.
