Happy Halloween

we grow old because we stop playing.

What needle?

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

Confucius

The past 4 weeks have been so busy at work that I have not been able to put a needle into fabric. So many project waiting, so little time…

Last month I finished the monogram pincushion included in the Blackbird Designs Loose Feathers #36 “The Simple Things”.  I stiched it on 30ct Old Java Mill by R&R and WDW threads as suggested. For finishing, the pattern asks for a hand turned walnut base, which I don’t have at hand ~smile~.

I decided to use an old wooden bobbin as a base, which I painted with and instant rust antiquing solution (modern options) to make it look old. I then glued the pincushion on top… e voilà… I’m happy with the result.

The Berry Emery, included in the BBD Loose Feathers #37 is a work in progress…

Also….

I’m working on a new Cosmic Handmade pattern, only a little one… not finished yet but here’s a little peek…

I do hope I will have some time to use my needle again to finish some of my work in progress. Fingers crossed that work will slow down a bit for me to do so :)

Thank you… you are all so kind to me… time is just going so fast!

September is already in the 3rd week and my new webset is still not finished. I’m at the stage of finalising the last details and the wordpress version. I’m so looking forward to my days off… starting at Sunday so that I can finish it :)

Because things are going so slow I will extend the celebration into the month of October. On my days off I will have time to put together some fun draws and extra’s…

Here’s a little peek…

Only two days left for the celebration give-away!
