Boo's riding journey continues ... she's doing great and really enjoying her jumping clinics over the Xmas break.

Here she is with Bridgy at Wellington Riding, it was a jumping technique clinic.

She loves Bridgy, she's a very fast pony and loves to jump but can be very cheeky and will run out if she's allowed too ... very bad habit for a pony.

We've had the bestest Christmas & New Year - spent with friends & family ! It's been busy, tiring & hard work but worth every minute ...

It's always sad to start putting away all the decs & it always makes me feel a bit blue but we just have to remember the magical time we've had. My brother & his wife & boys came up for New Year from Cornwall & the whole family were able to spent New Years day together noshing on a massive lunch of Roast Beef, Pork and a trillion squillion veg !!!

 

Today has been a day of slobbing, laid on the sofa with Boo & Archie (my dog), watching Rapunzel whilst snoozing at the same time. Lovely !

 

Bye Bye real Xmas tree, you did us proud but now it;s time to go to the great Fir Tree Heaven in the sky before you become totally baldy locks - & we want to keep some of your dignity.

Happy 2013, may it bring everyone, health, luck, love & happiness xx

A few more of my designs, the Bull Terrier being the latest commission. I'm working on some new designs for the New Year, one in particular I'm looking forward to, IF I can find the right fabric :-)

I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas day, all's quiet in the house now .... 

until tomorrow that is !

Hello, it's been an awfully long time since I've been here. Oops !

But, I have been a busy bee, honest. The last few months have seen a lot of orders coming through & I finished these last 3 tonight. Yippee ...

I will post some of my other work at some point, all key fobs/ bag charms. They seem to be very popular which is lovely. The above see's 'Mr Sausage', my most popular design and the 'Terrier' key fobs. I found the very gorgeous floral baby needlecord and just had to use it.

So, no more stitcheroo'ing for me until 2013. Should give my foot pedal time enough to recover :-)

Wishing everyone a Very Happy & Sparkly Christmas & Prosperous New Year xxx

Mr Sausage with his new red ball ...
It's been ages since I blogged but I'm still dabbling in stitching.

I hope to get get back into it soon but
I'm just not sure what to make - I really need to give it some thought :-)

I've been to 'Cowpat' today ...

Otherwise known as 'Cowslip Workshops' in Launceston, Cornwall, to stroke all the yummy fabrics on offer.

The choice is phenomenal & I could spend an absolute fortune in there BUT these are my favourite purchases today. I bought some dotty fat quarters too and stroked lots of flowery & extremely pwetty bolts but restrained myself as I'll be back down in Cornwall in a few weeks with my 'wish list' of crimbo fabrics.
Isn't the doggy fabric just gorgeous ?

Pony Rosette Cushion

Hello Peeps !
Cushions are not my favourite item to make but I do make exceptions for certain lovely customers & the little girl these two ponies are bound for is the daughter of one such lovely customer.

I do love my horses & ponies and I love incorporating them in my textile creations.

Boo's summer holidays started at the beginning of July so we've been on the go for quite a while. It's been a busy old time but I have tried to bumble along with my work & get as much done inbetween all the holiday activities.

I love the holidays & hate it when Boo goes back to school. Just being at home together is as enjoyable as 'going out'. We've got a nice quiet day tomorrow, no rushing about, no picnic to organise ... we're just going to 'Go with the Flow' as they say.
Here's to a little bit of sunshine too x
