Bear

Grandma Curtains again. This is traced from the doiley set I bought from 'The Stitchery'. Damn! I meant to ring them today and order everything I don't have in the cute animal section.

If you imagine this as the centre doiley and these as the side doileys (although one would be facing the other way).

I may outline the blue of the eyes, with black. Or at least see if it's right.

It's quite big...probably 40cm? 38cm across?

More Work On The Sewing Room Curtains

A huck-a-bac bib from 'The Stitchery'. I've had these far a couple of years and NOW is the time!! They take no time at all to work up and are loads of fun for one and all! My intention is to buy all of the cute designs before they go retire and out of business. I've sone a large ont too but haven't photographed it yet.
Dunno if I'll crochet around the edges or just sew it in like this?
We're all down with the BUG. I had a flu injection and got it lildly but Ross is sick! Poor love, he needs Lots of TLC.
Lots. In fact he just said, "Where are you?" in a poor little voice.

It's Just Me Again

My brother Glenn Stuart, myself in the middle admiring something, and Sheryl Bailey, my Mum's childhood friend's daughter. Surrogate cousin.

This is my Nanna (great-grandmother Lucy Ellen), my Grandma (Phyllis Lucy), my Mum (Judith Ann) and myself, Robyne Fiona. Nanna and I shared a birthday, also with my father's Dad (Gramps). At Grandma's house in Moonee Ponds, where I later lived to go to Melbourne College of Textiles.

Now All I Want To Do Is Make Some Potholders

I scribbled this after looking at some of doublewinky's stuff. I thought it would be suitably done ala Penny-Rug-ish? Old blankets and bits of felt? Coarse embroidery. They're supposed to be a bit scorched and grubby so I have to be sensible.

I might have to start a new Flickr group.... s'pose I should see if there's one already.

If you see or have any goodies, send me a link or a pic??? I'm on a mission. It's making me stitch and stitch the curtains without fail, because (unlike my usual behaviour, where I work on anything I want to) I will not do any pot-holders until they're finished.

Why didn't I think of them before?

P.S. If anyone makes this one, send us a pic too huh?

I Need To Make Some Potholders

And today, sick at home and feeling fuggy at the computer... surfing from link to link in Flickr, I have found a few. I might try to do a mozaic??? Or just put some pics and links...

These two from a particular favourite of mine, doublewinky.

Just scanned, so it's a bit shiny and hard to see, but you get the drift. Circa don't know, but before we were together, maybe just, and that's over 9 years...

Me & Stevie Park

I always thought he was nice. Last time I saw him was when I was about 10.
