Things Are Happening...

... but I can't tell you about them quite yet. So I will tell you about stuff I can. Maybe tomorrow I will be more forthcoming.

Meanwhile, the creativity in this household continues. Helen sat down and sewed the other day. She asked for some fleece and then didn't bother me until she showed me her new bunny. I was well impressed. Long gone are the days where they dream up ideas and I end up bringing them to fruition. In fact, the tables have been turned a bit. Because I told Emily about pin toppers, and she made her first foray into their production the other day. I for one find they make my pin cushion a far more cheerful place to be.


And I continue to do some stitching. Satin stitch is my new best friend.


Tomorrow I am going to go to Staples and buy large envelopes in bulk. I have a lot of stuff that needs posting. A lot!

  2. I love Emily's pin toppers - looks like she's a natural! The bunny is really sweet and her outfit is wonderful, particularly the embroidered embellishment! That's two talented bairns you've got there! The embroidery looks amazing - someone is going to be thrilled!!

  10. What a talented lot you are. I know you're going to announce mouthy stitches tomorrow when I'm out and can't get on the computer. I will return home to find all the places are snapped up. At which point I reserve the right to sulk in the corner like a four year old.

  11. Do you want to swap kids ? Miss P doesn't have a crafty bone in her body and it drives me a little mad. Maybe the craft genes have skipped her entirely! I lay awake nights worrying about that.

    OK is the map Transylvania?
