That's Handy

Just as an aside, you may like to see this little project, a recent gift for my Mum.

The girls drew around their hands on some lovely red flannel and then we I stitched around the shapes. That little thing in the middle is a heart, but they're not happy with it. It probably just needs a little bling. Sequins anyone?

I got the idea from an embroidery workshop I attended at Pick Up Your Needles in Tinahely Co Wicklow. (Next event here). A very easy project, the girls had fun and of course it's a winner with family members.

It's supposed to be a seat cover. Of course it's not actually finished. Did you get me mixed up with somebody else by any chance?

Palpitations

Oh my goodness.

I've just looked at the Twist Collective Winter 2008.

It's wonderful.

WON-derful I tell you.




I saw this and I thought I was going to have to lie down.

I'm so happy to be in love with so much knitting again. For a while there I was running out of steam.

I wonder if it's all the red things? A quick survey of all my devices, appliances, accessories etc demonstrates a dominance of all things red. I love 'em. (I only got a blue phone recently because I didn't know it came in red.)

And the illustrations in the Critter Comfort section are delightful.



Oh the swing.

Words fail me.

Until next time that is.

Go take a look and come back and tell me what you like.
