Halloween

Here are our pumpkins entitled "too many sweets" and "not big enough to go trick or treating", and my two little vampires with the prize they won with them in the village pumpkin competition. They have called him Bernie. I wanted to call him Errol, because I think he looks just like Errol Flynn, but then thats me showing my age again!

Tea Cosy Finished!

I know I said I wanted a tea themed fabric, but I couldn't find one in the right colours and then I saw this sprigged print and it just looked right. It only used 1FQ as well (plus 1FQ in a plain cotton and some wadding and muslin for the lining), with enough left over to back a couple of pinkeeps. And it keeps the tea lovely and toasty too ;)

If you want to find the design click on the link for The Sampler Girl in the side bar.

Look Carefully.............

.........and you'll see the little chap we spotted while we were out for a walk this weekend. There were eight to ten of them altogether, but this one was the least camera shy!

Introducing Humbug!

He's here! This is Humbug! He can also be finished flat as a pinkeep (see 2nd picture).

Another Finish

This time its an early start on the Christmas Stitching (well, technically, it is a late finish on last year's Christmas stitching). The design is from the 2006 JCS Ornament Preview Edition. I just LOVE penguins.

A Flurry of Finishes

I've been on a finishing frenzy the last few days. Unfortunately one or two of them are top secret for the time being, but I can show this one. Its a free design called "Tea with Jane" from The Sampler Girl the quote is from Jane Austen's Emma.I'm hoping to get hold of some cotton with a teacup/teapot print so I can make it up into a tea cosy.

Finally...

...figured out how to get my computer and my new camera to talk to each other, so I thought this blog was overdue for an update!

Here are some more carnival pictures, this time from Bude and Bradworthy.
