I thought I would start the year with making something pretty, and you can’t get much prettier with sweet floral Tilda fabrics. It all started when I came across this little hexie flower in my sewing box, the hardest part was deciding what backing fabric to use. I was drawn to both the dots and the floral,…… Continue reading Pretty Hexie Pincushion
I’ve been working on something a little different this past week for the shop. As you may already know I’m a ‘little’ obsessed with hexagons, and after finishing my hexie mat the other week it got the brain cogs churning. I have so many fabric scraps that I can never bear to part with and…… Continue reading Shop Update – Hexie Purses
Do you remember my last post I was having some fun with my leftover scrap hexies, well this is it finished! And it turns out it makes a perfect little mat for my sewing machine.

I’ve finally finished my hexie quilt top! I have to admit there was a point when I thought it would never be finished, especially when I had to un-pick an entire row! But now I can say it’s done! Don’t get me wrong I really enjoyed stitching this but there does come a time when you…… Continue reading Stitchy progress!
Hello there! I know it’s been a while but *whispers* I’ve still been unwell. Onwards and upwards I hope to be back on top of things soon! I thought I would share with you my completed cross stitch from my last post. It took longer than I had planned, but it’s done now and I’m…… Continue reading A little catch up
The only way I am managing to survive the World Cup is immersing myself in a new project, and although I’ve not been blogging regularly my hands have not been idle! My Spring Stitching Quilt is almost complete and just needs to be quilted, there will be a post about that coming soon! I enjoyed…… Continue reading Hexagons – A new project
It feels a like I have spent most of this year feeling unwell, I seem to recover and then a day or so later I feel rubbish again, I finally took myself off to the doctor this week and it turns out I need a blood test to see what’s going on, one theory… Glandular Fever…… Continue reading Spring stitching progress
