More work for the shop, when I finally get round to it that is! These will eventually become pin cushions, honest they will as soon as I can be bothered to get the sewing machine out to back them. I have been a bit distracted today, explanation coming up but it has been a busy 24 hours. I have finished another white fragment, that's for next time, started another white fragment and been searching online for plain bindings for my new and exciting venture.
Now , my busy 24 hours.....It is my little boy's birthday today!! Now he is all grown up I would say he is even more adorable but I know that's hard to believe! We went out for a meal last night and this morning has been gifts, cards, balloons and cake. Now he has gone to the football with his dad and straight from there he is going away for a birthday celebration with his friends. My mothering is done for the day, I don't mind, I am happy because he is happy, so happy birthday James. We love you more than we could ever express.
So I am on my lonesome, not a bad thing, I can make a mess, cut up cloth, spread threads through the house. I can have fun making, playing and planning....and very exciting news...I have it on good authority that I am getting a FULL TWO PAGE SPREAD in the magazine...all my birthdays have just come at once!!!

Wow congratulations on getting the magazine spread Karen

Happy Birthday James and Congratulations on the magazine! When you mentioned Birthday's your layout of your embroidery made me think of a beautiful Birthday, layer cake. :-) Have a great weekend.
Happy Birthday to James. ;) Yes, I know that mothering thing when they are grown up. They are always our kids, though. We love them more and more every year.
Lovely work. That looks like a tatted edging on your images today. Perhaps you did it with an embroidery needle, but it comes out looking like tatting. My Mom was the tatter in our family.
Hugs,

those pincushions will be gorgeous:-)
Congratulations with your 'little' one, with all the progress you made to create some pincushions and the TWO page spread!!!!
This is what I call a perfect, succesful weekend.
Is it tatting or crochet? Last night we discovered a tatted bookmark I made about 25 years ago (when I did a tatting class). Good thing it fell out of the dreadful book we were about to turf out. I had wondered where it had got to!
Happy birthday to your boy. Your children are lucky to have you :)
P.S. It doesn't really matter if the people buying my house read my blog - they have bought it to knock it down, which is entirely what we believe should be done with it, and they were so annoying we had to get our lawyers to complain to their lawyers, so I am not being defamatory either!
Hello karen, Congratulation on your on wonderful lovely work being published. Well deserved indeed. James is a sweetie. Hugs Judy
Happy Birthday to James. All the handknit baby gear noted! Congratulations to you Karen! When is this, and where? (the magazine, not baby James!)
