Bullion knots...

I have never been able to do a bullion knot before - just never understood them. French knots I can do perfectly but I just could not get my head around the bullion knot. Until now! Super proud of myself :-)

The Bark Foundation again...

I am working on a project with The Bark Foundation at the moment. Here's something I was working on yesterday...

 

 

 

The wizard of oz...

My friend Reema bought me this amazing copy of the wizard of oz for my birthday. It is beautiful! The cover, front and back, is a print of an embroidery and the inside of the cover is a print of the back of the embroidery! I think that I may need to collect the whole penguin threads series. My next one should be the secret garden I think...

The Bark Foundation...

I've been working on this embroidery project for the Bark Foundation lately. The embroidery has been printed onto postcards to be sold for £1 each which will go towards the building of a new building for the Hotpec orphanage in the Cameroon. Each brick needed costs £1 which was the inspiration behind the design. The Bark Foundation was created by a lovely couple in my village and you can read more about the Hotpec orphanage and their wonderful work here... The Bark Foundation. I am hoping to do another project for them soon so watch this space....

Just in the shed...

The sketchbook project...

This year I finally entered the sketchbook project. I chose the title "lists". Being me though, I left it until the very last minute. I'm happy with the results but it is a little sparse. I had a lot of other ideas that I wish I had time to include but never mind - I will save them for later.

 Actually loving the backs of these pages. My textiles teacher always used to say that to me and now I finally agree. Not sure why a load of them are sideways - I can't work out how to rotate them successfully.

Kitty...

Just the start of a character here but meet Kitty...
