I did warn you that I would get distracted by these little things. I just had to make some for an edge of toe wrap two. These are only tacked in loosely at the moment and I think they are going to prove difficult to stitch down in a conventional way. I will probably have to tie them individually and then stitch the seam inbetween the ''bumps'' , they are quite thick and I know my fingers won't like it at all. The reason I haven't gone any further with this yet is because I am determined to work on my new pieces and one day working on them doesn't constitute commitment does it? So this has been put aside for now and I have spent around a day and a half on the first piece of my new work. When I say a day and a half I don't mean 36 hours, I mean the time that is left after eating, sleeping, housework, cooking and washing...not a lot of time then!!
After saturdays post I was really chuffed with all the lovely comments about my blue and white. I know that piece was reserved and I am sorry but I have to grab takers when I can as some stuff languishes over here for eons....so quick takers and reservers are more than welcome, beggars can't be choosers and all that. I have had an order for another piece which is fantastic, it won't be exactly the same, I don't do that or at least I TRY not to repeat anyhting but it will be blue and white and it will have ''thingys''.
The first piece of my new stuff is also blue and white and I hope to show you progress on that this week. I don't think it will be finished but it will be partially damp stretched and fit to face the world. Meanwhile I am anxiously awaiting the arriveal of THE MAGAZINE!!! I can't tell you how excited I am about that, it is such an honour, well it is for me anyway, the woman who never goes out, who spends most days in her shed and for whom the only well worn path is to the kettle!! When it comes....and please let it be soon...I am stalking my post man!! I will take pictures so you can see...promise...and I shall probably sleep with it under my pillow such is my excitement!

I am so excited for you! You have every right to be featured in the magazine. I look forward to seeing the article when it comes out. :))) It's so good that you get a "heads-up" to be able to get your shop extra stocked.

Thrilled for you about The Magazine! And I adore those thingys!
Such a long time since i have heard anyone use the term "thingys", must teach it to my English class one day :D. Love them by the way and I am glad I am not the only one with a well worn path to the kettle. So is that tea or coffee? Mine's a black tea when I turn up one day.
Oh, these thingys are so cute, no matter what color they are.
Congratulations with your magazine!!!! Enjoy your tea and have a lovely evening.
I love your thingys. They look great on your new toe wrap.
Thank you for your lovely comment on my slippers. Yes, they are lovely and warm. Blessings for the coming week.
Hi Karen,
Love the blue and white, thingys, and the red is great - so vivid next to the white, but I REALLY love the pin pillows! Trying not to go downstairs and chip my credit card out of the ice cube tray. Love, Linda
Ooh, thingies... Gorgeous as ever!
I like the thingys too. And I know exactly what you mean about 'all day' constituting the time that is left after all the other jobs have been done. I bet you anything Picasso had a maid to do all that for him.
Hello Karen, Love your thingy!! VBG The red is bright and bold but I especially liked the blue and white. My goodness I have missed what Magazine you will be featured in. Please let me know so I can see if I can find it. Thanks Hugs Judy
The thingys are so cute. Your work is beautiful!
Pretty little 'thingies' that remind me of Easter bunny ears - fitting for this time of year, don't you think?
I have long admired your work- such intricate work and beautiful stitching. My passion is needlework of all kinds, but especially embroidery. Could you please let me know which magazine you are featured in?
Those little 'things' are so cute...and I love how they peep out on your cloth.
THE MAGAZINE...will keep my eyes open.

LOve this, it's so bright and fresh! Sorry I haven't been by, I've been a bit out of commission.
