Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone. I hope your having a great weekend relaxing with family and working on your wips. Have you eaten a ton of chocolate, I have and it has to be Cadbury or nothing I tell you. Cadbury is just the best chocolate I think. Anyway here is a pic of a Easter banner I did and I put it on this basket and it came to good use holding all my Easter eggs. I had my fluffy bunny beanie kid be on guard to make sure the chocolate didnt disappear....lol

Macaw Latch hook Pattern now a Cross Stitch

Here is a update on my progress with this one. If your into latch hook or know someone who is and then you have a opportunity to turn that latch hook kit into a beautiful cross stitch. This pattern was my Mums and as you can see in the photo here, she has completed her latch hook and now Im doing the same pattern but as a cross stitch.

Tusal Update for April

2 Turtle Doves

This is the second block from Jim Shores 12 days of Christmas. They do take time but they are worth it.

TUSAL March Update

Here is my latest pic of my jar of floss ends.

A visit from a Koala

Every week or two we get a visit from a Koala, he sits in the same Claret Ash tree and has a nap then in the late arvo he goes up higher into the manor gum trees next to the Claret Ash tree for a feed and then waits till nightfall and moves on. In this case he left that afternoon and you know we never saw him go. Come to think of it we never saw him arrive either. They are so cute and cuddly you just want to hug them but keep in mind those huge claws they have and you tend you keep your distance. He is not frightened at all and in the past we have given Koalas bowls of water, as you can see from the photo on my blog.

A few Finishes

Wow its been a week since I posted. I have been very busy trying to get some finishes for the month.




First up is my Easter Banner, yay I have finished it early normally Im desperately trying to finish it the night before.

Do you like my beanie kid, its Fluffy the bunny and he has a new home for awhile in the Easter basket and he will go onto my Easter Table. I will fill up the basket with yummy easter eggs. Love easter egg chocolate.





Second is my October Quaker, as you know Im doing all 12 of them. Started with September and going from there, yeah I know it was a weird place to start but I wanted to do them in the month that it was. Ok so now its February and Im behind LOL. I will catch up somehow. No its not the light Im using dmc floss that is varigated, just love how it looks on these.


















Finally here is my first mouse pad called Busy cat, I have to say I loved working with vinyl canvas.

Christmas Card

Here is my second Christmas Cross stitch card.

A Partridge in a Pear Tree

Phew I finally finished this one. It was taking forever and its now February and I have to make a start on 2 Turtle doves. I love how this is looking even if I do say so myself. LOL This is Jim Shores 12 Days of Christmas and I hope to get one done per month and finish them off in time for Christmas 2011.

Crochet a Rainbow Update

I have been busy crocheting lots of 5 row granny squares for the Crochet a Rainbow. Queensland have been hard hit with floods and its the least I can do. I hope to get more done on the weekend.

TUSAL February Update

Here is my progress so far, I have done lots of stitching this past month, I have really enjoyed it. You know the only worry I have had is that someone will take my jug and think it needs emptying and washing.

Crochet a Rainbow

Please help a great cause. Sarah London has a Crochet a Rainbow started where you make 5 row granny squares and send them to her. She will be making them into blankets for all the victims of the Floods in Brisbane. Please help if you can. To find out more about this please visit this website.

Wip Update

Okay I have been so busy crafting that I have forgotten to update my blog. So sorry about that. I have been trying to get a few things finished for January and I cant believe the month is nearly over. Here are a few pics of my finishes.

First is a finish for the crazy challenge. This is a Christmas card and one of many I hope to do over the year. I have a few photo insert cards that Im using for this purpose, just need to decide what finishing touches I might add to the card or maybe leave it at that.


Another crazy challenge finish, here is a pic of the first block for the Ackworth Friendship book. Im using 28ct linen and dmc floss 4140. My friends Sherri and Donna are doing this project with me so Im putting their initials on the blocks.

Finally here is a square I crocheted for my friend in the states, she is making a comfortghan for her nieces children and I thought I would help with a square or two. Going to make another one tonight I hope.
