A few more!

Added a few more items onto the wallhanging that is leftover from other projects. Now onto the border want it a bit bigger for this wall! Decisions to make uhmmmm!

Daily life and having fun!

Well I have had a busy week and needed some stitching time this Saturday afternoon.

Hubby has to go to have the second cataract removed by specialist in Port Elizabeth and I have to go with to drive back as he is not allowed to drive after the treatment. 

So I have to wait in the car,  I am not allowed in with him, because of the covid regulations. Grrr!!! anyway I have now prepped the hexi flowers and leaves to be appliqued and it will keep me busy for a while. Having fun with this wall hanging and changing it to include lots of my favorite techniques. I have added lots of hexi's and stars. Using all left overs of other projects I completed recently. I am just adding stuff as I go along. Next will be the small flowers to the leaves that I embroidered, but am unsure what I will be adding. Then onto a border, quilting and binding. 

Saw this on our walk today in someones garden and just had to have a photo of the beauty of this flower.

A few completed gifts!

Made this for my sister, I found the shell on Kelly's Beach and also saw the idea of using a shell on the internet. Not easy but got it done!

Made this scrappy bag for my sister too!

Embroidered this for my sister, she loves anything sea!!!

Well I made another one with the shell once again found on Kelly's Beach and had so much fun doing this one for a very special friend of many many years!!!!

Our Hibiscus!!!

Our hibiscus is flowering again as always!!

So thankful for the rain that we have had recently!!

Am busy with all my small projects and getting some done. Have lots of items that are nearing completion and will show when done. Also sorting through the cupboards after Daughter moved out into her own cute home. The house seems awfully empty now after being overfilled with daughters treasures. hehehe we have to get used to having such an empty house. Not easy but I am getting all my stuff around and the house is starting to look colorful again.

Hubby went to have a cataract removed yesterday  and getting the other eye done on the 12th April. 

                                            

A bit of stitching

I have been working on getting some UFO's done this past year. Well am trying to keep busy and have fun stitching these peg bags always makes me smile. They have such cute faces.

Saw some embroidery with shells on instagram, sorry can't remember who, but it got me thinking l can use any broken shell. Picked up a few on the beach the other day. So tried it and its so beautiful. Still want to add some more beads. Seems my mind has been working overtime to get this to work. 

Tada!!!!

Internation Quilting Day today!!!!

This Quilt Diva is going to do some quilting today.

Looking back to how much learning and fun I had so far on my 

quilting journey!!!!!

Still my favorite quilt!!!

Finished this crazy quilt 10 years ago and still  love it!!

 

Another ufo!

Need to get this ufo done. Its been around for a few years now.

Can't remember the designer but changed the border to use my fabrics! Now adding some small items l have  just lazing sround my sewingroom! 

Busy busy!

These are small embroideries for a small project l am working on.

Made new cover for  a chair!

Made these pillows and runner for my daughters new home! And this is Amber guarding hubbywallet, not that there is much in! Those blue eyes are so pretty! Amber is one of 3 cats of  daughter's that moved to our place. The ginger one went  with her to the new place but Amber is at home here! The other cat, Ambers brother, with the short tail eating,

decided to stay at their previous home and kept walking back. So with permission with the new owners he is allowed to stay. Daughter supplies his food. And he is very happy with the arrangement!

Another finish!

l have now used up all my left over wools and gave all the items to our local Child Welfare! It felt great to just give it all away and each item was made with love. 

I decided not to buy anymore wool,  but yes a but, there is so much need in our country for baby stuff that l am having a hard time not responding to it and going out and buying some wool and get a few items to donate. I seem to need a charity project to work on and just be thankful that l am able and have money, to make small contribution to keep someone warm! 

Grrr going to buy some wool tomorrow, but just one ball and lucky for me we have a lovely shop here in town, Holly House, so l can get just one ball of wool at a time!

Have started working on my cross stitching a bit lately and also finished a few UFO's laying around here! 

Am really enjoying my time at slow stitching and have found this cute website and going to enjoy it and see where this stitchers inspiration takes me!
