........and more Floral Beauty

Still loving this project.

I am taking Mr 14 to the orthodontist in Bathurst today, so I am hoping to have time to visit The Home Patch. I have a gift voucher burning a hole in a my pocket so that will be my treat for the day.

Hope you find a moment to stitch today.

Ironfest

We have had a great day out at Ironfest in Lithgow today. Described as an "arts festival with a metal edge" it covers blacksmithing, jousting, history reenactments, medieval weapons and costumes, and steampunk......just about anything you can think of. This years theme was Time Travel, so of course Dr Who and the Daleks were there.

These two fearsome fellows belong to us.

There are camps set up from Viking and medieval times, and British colonial soldiers.

It's one of the best festivals I've ever been to, a real opportunity for people to express their individuality and passion for anything a bit left of centre.

 

On a stitching note, the little hexagons from Nundle have found a home.......but this is all I can show for now.

        








I am really enjoying school holidays at home. I hope you found some time to stitch over the weekend.

Just for fun

School holidays and no alarm clock tomorrow..........so I'm sitting up late working on something different just for a change. I got the fabric pack for The Simple Life last Christmas. I thought I'd start with this one, simple but true.

I'm using needleturn instead of buttonhole, and may regret it with some of the small pieces later. I figure if I just do one block every now and then it will all come together eventually. They are very cute designs.

A bit of stitching

It has been a glorious Autumn day here today, perfect for spending some time stitching in the sun. I bought this New Day stitchery pattern (Anni Downs) at the Sydney craft show last year.

The pattern has it as a framed project, I'm not sure what I will do with mine yet.

Hope you get some stitching time this week.

Bloggers are the best

I had a great night dining and stitching with Fiona from Dragonfly Crafts last night.

I took my son and his friends to the JJJ One Night Stand in Dubbo (1.5 hours away)...........it was their first big concert. So I was thinking I'd spend the night at the movies by myself, but instead, Fiona invited me to her house. We had a lovely dinner, lots of chatting and even sewed a few stitches. I also got to see her fabulous new sewing room. Thank you so much for a fun night Fiona.

We got home safely just on midnight.
