Finished Dogs Leave Paw Prints cross stitch and Autumn house pattern is framed.

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all well and looking forward to your Christmas break, I know I am as today is my last day at work and I could do with catching my breath and relaxing.

I wanted to do a quick update and show you the finished Dogs leave Paw Prints cross stitch.

This pattern is by Lizzie Kate designs

stitched on evenweave, I purchased the pattern from Fobbles and it comes complete with the dog bone gem, this is hanging on my kitchen wall.


At last I found a suitable frame for the finished Autumn cross stitch

you can find this pattern purchased as a download at Tinymodernist

I have not quite finished the Ship Ahoy pattern you may remember reading in previous posts, but here is an update so far,

i should have no excuse to finish this one over the holidays and I will post a picture as soon as I have.


Before I go here is a crochet project that I had been asked to make by a friend at work, her Grand son wanted the Kevin the carrot toy that had been showing in an advert on the TV and all had been sold out. So she asked would I be able to make one, well I managed it and here is my version.

What do you think? I am told he loves it.


Well that's all for now, have an enjoyable day.

bye for now

Autumn cross stitch update and knitted owls.

Hi everyone,

Well here we are and November is upon us the weather here in the UK is sunny and mild but I believe temperature's are going to drop near the end of the week.

With all the lovely Autumn colours around now the leaves are falling I have made progress with the Autumn cross stitch I started.

I just love the colours for this one, pattern is from Tiny Modernist


The progress on the ship ahoy pattern is coming along to I will show you pictures of that quite soon.


 I have been shopping in our local charity store and what did i find, more cross stitch patterns,

I could not resit they were such a bargain £2.00 for three magazines,

and these three were  50p each (single patterns) well that's another lot to add to my stash.


Did I mention that I was knitting two owls for my friend at work well I have finished them and just in time for Christmas too, that is good going for me.

Yarn used is King Cole Tinsel chunky, knitted on 5mm needles and scraps of DK yarn for the face and claws.
You can find details for this yarn at KingCole

Well that's all for now, have a lovely weekend.
