August FNSI

I had a double date on Friday.... I joined Wendy HERE and also went physically to Marion's studio and sewed with a small group.....  Luckily here we are still able to meet with people

I got this embroidery done from Field Journal BOM.....  there is stem stitch, feather stitch, long and short blanket stitch and some satin stitch in it......


Then the squirrel came by my place... it's been around blogland I see....

Anorina showed her wind spinner (and provided a written tutorial and video link) which I thought was great fun so I made one....



The weather has been just lovely... not a breath of wind so it's not really spinning but it is fun!


A couple more beds were done in my blackwork sampler this last week....

Passionflower


Honeysuckle


Many of you have watched 'Widget' grow up on my blog... he came for a day and night.... haven't seen him for a little while and look what happened!!!!!  


Then I gave him a haircut!!  

Tip run to drop off a load of green waste then off to a landscaper to get a load of mulch.... got that put down over a garden bed - now it's time for a cuppa and some blog reading over HERE to see what the others made on Friday night...

Righto, Gotto Go...... keep safe and keep happy....xx

  15. Pretty stitching! And oh my goodness, Widget isn't wee anymore! He's become an entire Gadget now! I'll bet he's quite handsome but perhaps doesn't want to share his face on your blog :)

  19. Nice variety of stitches in that FJ block. Pretty spinner. They grow so fast at that age - we are planning a trip to UK next month and will see Philips grandaughter in the flesh for the first time in 20 months and I am sure she will have shot up! xx

  20. I loved the windspinner on Anorina's blog too - yours looks great :-) And of course the FJ stitchery is Beautiful! Haha children growing up and up.... I still remember Nana's expression and how she'd shake her head when one of us kids would turn up and she'd see how much taller we'd grown ♥
