Remember that kangaroo cross stitch from earlier this year?

30 minutes creativity per day… Day 110! A little heart.
Today I went with one of the miniature cross stitch patterns I created a couple of days ago – the little heart. Looking through my fabric stash, I decided to try it out on a fairly large open weave fabric – using a single strand of stranded cotton. I found I had to … Continue reading
30 minutes creativity per day… Day 109! The results of doodling.
The results of doodling. My mind was still on small items, and went to easy shapes, which led to bird shapes (possibly due to the two cockatiels sitting behind me singing). The doodles looked like something I could do with the sewing machine, so I set about it. First step was to … Continue reading
