Lots of knitting happening here too. I've just completed a pair of Rowan crystal wrist warmers which just needs me to buy the velvet ribbon on to complete.
Well TTFN and happy Autumn :)

It's teeny tiny (only 4 x 4 inches) perfect for your little trinkets. I just love seaside themed fabrics and am very pleased with the quality of it as it's cotton but has a linen look to it :)
Other things I've been busy with are my Lynette Anderson sewing satchel embroidery.. had a big boo boo on part of it as I was backstitching the little buzzy bees and realised too late I was stitching with 2 strands of floss which made it look way too thick and highlighted instead of subtle! doh! Oh well many hours of unpicking later it's coming along now :)

(this is actually last weeks photo but you get the idea! haha)
It's great to be able to sit out in the garden at weekends and hear the birds singing. We've been out for walks in Derbyshire and plenty of time at home playing board games too :) TTFNthwartedcheekychimphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04471878068259679348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340488907070238387.post-56267972585156175402015-05-27T12:27:00.000-07:002015-05-27T12:28:22.783-07:00Lynette Anderson ProjectHello again,
This week I've been busy with my Woodland Winter Cross Stitch picture... working on the bottom left hand corner which is mainly the snowy ground part, I'm actually enjoying stitching this section as there are so many different blues and whites shading which make it interesting.. can't wait to see it completed with perhaps a gold frame? Am loving the crow thread keeper which I received for a birthday present recently. Stitching by lamplight at the mo ...

This sewing satchel which I'm working on is another project I got from March's NEC Sewing for Pleasure show. It's from Cross Patch and is a Lynette Anderson fabric one. Love the muted tones of it and am just working on the embroidery which I will sew onto the front of it.

My other project which I'm eager to show you are these little hexapuffs from TinyOwlKnits. Which is eventually going to be... in literally a few years time... a Beekeepers Quilt. They are really good simple quick projects to knit up in an evening but I'm going to need approximately 200 (yikes) to stitch together to create a quilt! ha ha I do like large projects to get my teeth into!

Went to sleep for a few months there didn't I?! Not really, been very busy behind the scenes with moving house, my Etsy shop makings and creations and... in March I went to the annual NEC Sewing for Pleasure show which was brilliant :) I was very good and didn't buy too much. Bought some lovely bright vintage yellow Tilda fabric which is very hard to come by, some linen look sewing notions fabric and some lovely slate grey linen to make a lovely tunic which my mum kindly made up for me :). The keys in the photo are gorgeous, I think I'll incorporate them with some of the Milford mole makes.

Last week was my daughter's birthday - 6th :). We took her to Birmingham last weekend to the Christmas markets and to treat her. It was great, she chose her present really carefully and decided upon Disney's Frozen princess castle which was really good for the money - we had seen another one that was well over a hundred pounds and quite frankly, it wasn't great. It didn't contain any of the Frozen characters and was just an empty shell!
The Christmas market was amazing! All the sights and smells - the mulled wine smelt lovely :) There were some really unusual present ideas, jewellery, ornaments, food... so we walked round there and then visited Waterstones..
Wow that was a brill shop, it looked like it used to be an old church so was amazing when you first walked in and saw the impressive spiral staircase! It had a fantastic choice of books too, ha ha!

In the evening we went to Frankie and Benny's which is daughter's favourite eatery! She had pasta and sauce then a huge ice cream sundae with chocolate sauce, yummy...
Crafty news... I've been busily working on my mice..

I'm working on Jane Greenoff's Tiny Red Sampler for a Christmas present. I've made a small amount of progress but would really like to complete it in the next couple of weeks. So last night was great stitching with tea and chocolate and catching up on last few episodes of Lost on dvd (yes I know that series was ages ago but only just got round to watching them hehe).
My shop items are progressing well. Currently making two mini mice and other small items. On a bit of a deadline as I've booked myself to have a stall at my daughter's school for their Christmas fair... am nervous but really excited too... finger's crossed to get some sales.

Dr Who (David Tennant lookalike) was there along with a cyber man and Dalek which DD absolutely loved even though she's never seen the TV programmes...
DD was dressed up as a Corpse Bride complete with 'stitches' on her face and white gothic dress.
The whole event was very well organised and was brill :) :)
We did some baking and made Homebird & Belle's Pumpkin Cupcakes (www.homebirdandbelle.co.uk) which were a great success and devoured in a few days :)

I'm really pleased with the constructive feedback I've received from Etsy local community, they are so helpful and supportive. Afterall I'm only a novice at this and learning all the time :)

Currently, I'm reading a really great book that I can't put down... It's called the Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. I started reading it after seeing lots of great reviews online. I'm also reading the mag/book that you can see in the photo. I love Country Living styles...

Well I did and thought it was great... it inspired me to make this quick and easy dish..
Just trying to load the link and am having problems so I'll tell you where to find it .... It's Jamie Oliver's money saving ideas website and the recipe is Hungover Noodles so yum :)
Thought I'd share with you as I thoroughly recommend trying it, it was sooo tasty and different :)

I can't believe how fast she is growing up, I know everyone says it but it's so true... I feel like blink and I'll miss another stage! She seems so grown up now she's been at school for nearly a full year already!
I'll leave you with a recent trip to Monsal Head we did and please note the lovely hat my mum knitted for me :) and ignore the fact that my hood is inside out!!! It was a really windy day!!

I'm trying to get the third section finished soon so I can move on the bottom half of the picture. I'm loving sewing it though, it's great to see it emerge with all the lovely wintery colours.
Tonight I got out some great dusky pink fabric and my freebie Oliver & S Lazy Days skirt pattern and set too making my DD a summery skirt...

I really like using this pattern because it's so quick! It only takes me 45 minutes from start to finish to whip up... I couldn't even get to the shops to buy a skirt in that time :) Anyhoo, I've put it in her room as a surprise for her in the morning ... :)
We all loving this school half term break, lots of family time with walking, crafting and games :)

Great fun with a nice mix of family time and trips out. We went to Hassop Station one day for a nice cake and walk, which we discovered a new walking route and path heading back towards Bakewell.
Then Easter weekend we had OH parent's come to visit and we went out for a long walk up the hills with our dogs, then out for a nice meal to our local pub. Easter Sunday was spent with my mum and dad round for lunch and tea. We had lamb joint with all the trimmings and blackberry cheesecake, yum :)
A big special day out was then planned where we went to...... Warwick Castle! It was a lovely day very nice and sunny and we could spend a relaxed amble exploring the castle and up the 520 steep steps to the top of the castle, they were very windy spiral ones...

I was very good with my purchases... I bought 5 Lynette Anderson fabric fat quarters, some gorgeous Rowan wool pack and bits and bobs of buttons and cross stitch hangers :)
I received some money for my birthday so I purchased some lovely Mirasol Hacho wool from my LYS in Matlock

I've also been making some lip balm in coconut and beeswax, love making these as they seem to stay on your lips longer and so smooth with no chemicals etc..

As you can see I've come along quite nicely with the tree trunk on the right hand side... Am really hoping to get this top right third panel completed before I go to sewing show on 23rd March... fingers crossed!
Now I've completed the Milford Mouse I'm working on another project... just a sneaky peak photo but no details til later :)

Hope you like her ... I've poured my heart and soul into this project and there will be more to come...
She is a little town mouse from the village of Milford in the heart of Derbyshire. Her name is Millie and I've created her with my gorgeous Tilda fabrics and Erika Knight wool... mainly machine sewn but a lot of hand stitching is in there with her :)

I particularly liked doing his face and making the bows down the front of his coat.
I've put some more items in my shop... please either visit Etsy - KSewingBoutique or pm me if interested. Many thanks xx.

I've completed his body - that was quite fiddly to do, especially turning out the arms and legs as they are so thin. Overall I'm pleased with the results though and as you can see, he now has a coat with a cute small pocket on the side. Next to do is the earmuffs, his face and beard and bows down the front of the coat with shorts underneath.
