Crochet & Stitching Round-up
Wow! I've been a Busy Bee this Month. Got lots of Stitching done. And Finished a few projects.
Cruise Teddy Bear
On our Wedding Anniversary Cruise we got really spoilt. And on the day itself they decorated our Cabin. I was very taken with the Little Teddy Bear they had made with a Face Towel. So Cruise Teddy came home with me. He was held together with Elastic Bands. I carefully stitched him before cutting off the elastic bands, added Stitching to the little red heart and the eyes to hold them in place. Gave him a little black nose/mouth.
Ta Da! All done.
Sammy's Crochet Hugs Collection is complete for now......
Sammy loves playing There were 7 in the bed and the little one said.... with his Crochet Hugs.
They have also been on adventures in the Garden. Exploring the Flowers & Shrubs. Also climbing the line post and even riding a tiny car! See bottom right pic. You'll need to look close - the red car is tiny!
Anyway that's one project finished this month.
Blackbird Stitchery
Yay! After three years I've finished my Bothy Threads Flights of Fancy Blackbird
I'm really pleased with the finished result.
Even if the journey wasn't always that enjoyable.
I'm thinking now what to do with it?
It's aprox 7" or 18cm Square
Any Ideas?
Colly Birds
Now that I've finished my Bothy Threads Flights of Fancy Blackbird I can start the mmm.crafts Colly Birds
Mouse of the Month
Been working on my Gillymakes May Mouse of the Month. A touch of Applique this month.
Felt Colly Birds
I've finished my first Colly Bird. He's rather splendid. And has been enjoying exploring my Garden Flowers.
Wow! I've Impressed Myself this Month!
I've been on such a Happy Creative Roll. I'm really enjoying myself. Not everything went to plan. But I quite enjoy making do/changing plans/find alternative ways to do things.
Cruise Teddy Stitched
This was a really quick Stitch up! And now he's ready to enjoy his 'Teddy Bear' Life. He'd had enough of being a Facecloth/Flannel.
Sammy's Family Crocheted
It's been so much fun to slightly personalise each member for the family. Glasses for Nana, long hair for Mummy, almost no hair for Bampa, clothes colours to match.
Birds of Fancy Completed
The one I struggled to keep going with. But I was determined to finish him. So I simplified some of the Stitching and left out the tiniest eye wateringly small beads.
And now he's complete I have to say I'm rather taken with him. (Never again though.) So enjoy this one off project from me.
Felt Colly Bird Flown
Now this was more my cup of tea. I really enjoyed creating my Colly Bird. Have another three cut out.......
May Mouse of the Month
Oh how this one fought me! It's such a little project. But it ended up on the naughty step for a few days..... but we're friends again now.
Winter Village
Nobody's perfect....
Not much to report on my Winter Village this month. I had already finished the top half and put the bottom half ready to stitch. But all of the excitement of the above projects got in the way.
Maybe next month....... Winter Village Progress
June Stitching
Now onto June's Wish/Hope/Dream List
I'll continue working on my Winter Village Quilt of course.
I'm so excited. I've bought all the yarn ready for the King Cole Festival Blanket
It starts on the 20th of June. I'm particularly taken with the Colours and the Musical 🎼 notes.
My Millenium Quilt is now 25 years old. And in need of some repairs. I did repairs to it a few years ago. But it's in need of a few more now.
I made this Quilt in 1999. And I wrote This Post about it in 2013
Five Little Ducks went Swimming One Day
A Crochet Project for my W.I.'s entry in the Glamorgan W.I.'s Show on 5th July
Crochet Storage for Camping
I'm planning to made a few quick Crochet haning Storage envelopes this month. Something bright and happy me thinks.
That's enough to be going on with.....
Hope your enjoying sharing my Stitching Adventures. I'll make a start on June's Stitching Blog Post now in a minute!
