Spidercat

Posted by: claire93 on: November 30, 2010

Gandalf, aka Spidercat, has been keeping himself amused behind my back. Ever since the large budgie cage came back into the living room (after budgies spend warmer weather outside) Gandalf has been annoying the budgies silly.  I’m sure he doesn’t take any notice of the cage when it’s outside, but indoors it seems to be [...]

“My Lady Quaker” coming along

Posted by: claire93 on: November 29, 2010

Only just over 30 days left before we hit 2011 which means I’m stitching furiously trying to keep on track with current projects, some of which I want to finish before midnight on 31st December lol.  One of those projects is “My Lady Quaker” by Jardin Privé.  I started this early September, so it’s been [...]

part five “Cold Hands Warm Heart”

Posted by: claire93 on: November 29, 2010

Things are beginning to take shape and look extremely seasonal as our snow man is complete for part five of this SAL.  This week we add his eyebrows, buttons, his heart, the two little birds, the pompom on his hat AND begin stitching the big heart – just as far as snowman’s smile. and your [...]

“Un soir en décembre” – Isa Vautier (progress)

Posted by: claire93 on: November 27, 2010

If there’s one SAL I’m way behind on, it’s with the Isabelle Vautier design “Un soir en décembre”.  I sort of got left behind at the beginning of October, mainly because of my hand-trouble, and while my new seat stand is very good, I have also been working on about six other things so naturally [...]

15-sided biscornu with fabric squares (tuto)

Posted by: claire93 on: November 27, 2010

Since I am busy stitching my first blackwork 15-sided biscornu (soon to be assembled) I wanted to have a trial run at making a 15 sided biscornu. . and after a rummage in my fabric box, I decided the easiest thing would be to use some printed squares.  Also decided it would be worthwhile to [...]

two small SAL updates

Posted by: claire93 on: November 26, 2010

SALs seem to be the only thing I have time for ^^ and even then, only for the smaller ones. Really must get back to my “Un soir en décembre” because I’m weeks behind and can see it being shoved in a drawer if I don’t get it finished in time for Christmas.  Anyway . [...]

MANGO cross stitch on Ipod

Posted by: claire93 on: November 23, 2010

It’s the proud Mum who sits down to write this post . . . to do a bit of bragging ^^ but also a bit of advertising. My second son (who is studying Computer Games Programming at Uni) is currently on his work placement year, and working as an intern for a French company: Anuman [...]

a pinkeep tutorial

Posted by: claire93 on: November 21, 2010

I only made my first pinkeep a few months ago, and since the first one, I have been testing pinkeep making techniques, from glueing to double-sided sticky tape, to lacing and I have to say that lacing is my favourite.  Since I found other stitchers tutorials very helpful to me, I decided to take photos this [...]

There’s snow place like home

Posted by: claire93 on: November 20, 2010

Definitely seems to be no place like home as far as Merlin is concerned ^^ After his trip to the vets the other day,  he is getting plenty of rest, and putting up with me cleaning his wounds. Today I found him peacefully curled up on the couch on some paper (that daughter left lying [...]
