Autumn finish

Its been a rainy day here and was able to stitch all day.

Finished project in a few days and just loved stitching these smalls. Designed by pinkernpunkinquilting.blogspot.com and for free. 

A Finish!

Done! Now to fully finish!

Nearly done!

Just love these hippy couple! Just got back stitches and grass to complete.

I have started following a blog. Very pretty and interesting small designs to stitch. Pls visit her blog at https://pinkernpunkinquilting.blogspot.com

Just a few more!

I have 4 more hexi's to go and then the layout starts to see if l have enough to make a large quilt! 

This cross stitch is about halfway, can't wait to see it finished.

Winter Time!

Had to make another project bag set.

Doing another owl for july. Its actually for USA January but here in South Africa its winter in July! #jollyjuly

Also a new start! A small project l have laying around for about 10 yrs. Bought at a small Chinese shop in Clanwilliam. Although its a kit l am using Aida and DMC threads.

A Finish!

Just completed nr 3 of the owls, so have 9 more to go!

Finished this one on plastic canvas too.

Something bright in the garden!

Daughter surprised us with some yummy teatime scones!

A bit more stitching!

Have the blocks together and now some borders! #lovemystitchsal

A new quilt started!

Still embroidering on my hexi's 

Needed a smaller vinyl bag for my threads.

Well l started another quilt and its all shweshwe fabric. Finished 20 star blocks. All triangles joined and squared of to2 1/2 inch blocks. Going to use for sashing. Don't like wasting fabric. Also bought too little of the green fabric, will have to get a few more meters. So now l have to make a trip to Grahamstown to get some more.

Having fun.

Got this lovely piece of sunshine yesterday picked fresh from daughter's garden.

Watching YouTube and stitching. I have a clipboard on top of my laptop keyboard and stitching the day away!

Made these 2 small bags to keep threads together in large vinyl bag. Busy with owl sal designed by Lesley Teare!

Trying to stay sane!!!!

We are now starting with winter here and have had a few cold days lately but love it. Today is very windy. Having lots of issues with water supply!!!!!It seems that our municipality has not been giving attention to the pumps that pump water into our holder dam. Now its long weekend here and nobody wants to answer their phones. The huge question I always ask is where has the self pride in work whatever you do gone? Here is large communities that depend on water coming from the dam. Luckily I have water tanks here and we often have rain so they stay full. We are not dependent on the municipality. 

I have not been doing much as I have some wrist pain and need to rest my hands a bit. Its  a bit bad as I am unable to lift things with my left hand. I am a lefty anyway and think that I have been picking heavy things up. Not easy as I have started another quilt and need to cut fabric but hands are too sore to press down on the rotary cutter.  

Gee its so difficult to just sit around and not do much. I have been working on my owl slowly and taking breaks.

A new quilt that I have started but have to cut a lot of pieces still!

My sister sent me this cute snowball globe, which she put in a piece of check fabric, but was sadly damaged in the post.

I had to use it to make something beautiful anyway and decided to make a pincushion using everything.

  

Made this vinyl bag for a friend who was in our town this past week.

Also made a bag from a small piece of vinyl and will use it for keeping my 

threads in.
