Stitching and other wips

Hi All,

Sorry I missed last week but I'm back this week with a few things starting with Consumed which is looking like this after this months rotation.

I am loving stitching on her face and watching her come to life. She is from Tilton Crafts but is sadly retired.

I also got the chance to test this crochet pattern which is due to be released on May 11th from Mayhem and Majesty

This is only my second filet crochet blanket but I love it and the pattern is super easy to follow with a graph and written directions. The top and bottom colours are marvel 8ply and the middle colour is panda magnum.

I think I will add a border but for now it's done as I have a few orders to get stuck into as well at the moment.

And speaking of orders this is one I completed this week. The pattern is a freebie from Lincraft and I used their fairy floss yarn to knit them.

And that is all for this week so until next week stay safe and happy crafting.

Cheers, Sharine

Mostly knitting but with a few ribbons

Hi All,

No cross stitch this week since I usually take update photos at the start of the month but I do have some other bits and pieces. I'm not sure if I was doing markets last time I was blogging but if not guess what? I have a little handmade business up and running and usually do two markets a month.

But naturally since  the markets are on hold at the moment  it has given me a chance to catch up on orders and stock.

This baby set was a custom order and is a Shepard pattern and knit out of Bendigo Woollen Mills 3ply . I can't recommend them highly enough for beautiful wool.

I also finished these two Barbie mermaid tails

And I started the monster jumper out of some green acrylic also from Bendigo Woollen Mills

The magazine is out currently in Australia if anyone is interested.

And I also made some hair accessories which are always popular not only with the little girls but lately also kinder teachers and nurses to make the kids smile and give them something to talk about which I find pretty cool.

So that was my week. Home schooling also kicked off this week where I live and I think we all done well and I know my kids were excited when they realised they could have pyjama day everyday lol

Hope everyone is doing well!
Cheers,Sharine

Guess Who's Back? Back again...

Hi All,

Is anyone still around? After  a break I am going to try and get blogging again and rather then fill you in on all the going on's I will just fill in as I go.

So since last time Princess Izzy got finished. she was stitched on 20ct aida two over one and is available from Heaven And Earth Designs.

And joining her in the finish pile is Piper Tir N Org with the stats as Izzy.

Consumed is now my main squeeze and is being stitched on 25ct laguna one over one. She was from Tilton Crafts but is now sadly retired.

I have had quite a few knitting finishes but the doll sleeping bags are my latest finishes. The purple yarn is from Spotlight and is from the mill ends and the multi colour was a Premier Yarns sweet roll.

My crochet finishes look like this and I'm on a bit of a star blanket kick at the moment. The red, yellow and black one is crocheted from Marvel Yarns. And the ducky one is also marvel yarn from spotlight.

And that is about it for now. I have three new stitching wips that I will show off next week when I take their latest progress shots.

I hope everyone is keeping well in these challenging times and I promise I will be back sooner then later.
Cheers,Sharine

Stitching and stuff

Hi All,

The weeks seem to be flying away at the moment! I think oh yeah I will update my blog tonight but forget and then its the next week lol.

Anyway here is how I spent that week.
(And excuse the wonky stitchy photos but I usually take them on a Friday night with my phone on one hand while I use the other hand to keep Elsa ( my over excited dog) away)

Princess Izzy

Consumed

My knitting consisted of these six matching Barbie dresses that the customer uses for table props on her dance nights.

And my next order which a twin set in 4ply cotton. I have finished the first half and am on to the cardigan.

And to top if off the ever stunning Alicia who goes by the title of the crafty princess sent me this beautiful chart.

Cheers, Sharine

Wipocalypse #1

Hi All,

Back to the start and here is my starting point on my three for this year.(Ignore the crookedness of the photos bad photographer here)

Piper Tir N Org
Goal: Get onto the last row which means six page finishes.

Princess Izzy
Goal: To finish her! This is ten pages of stitching so with all three kids at school this year it just might be possible lol

Consumed
Goal: To get to the end of this row which is about 2 and a half pages

In knitty news this week I'm happy to report that I have finished Charlottes and Isabellas mermaid blankets.

But that is not the end of the mermaid blankets as Bellas bst friend would love one as well as my niece so watch this space lol

Cheers, Sharine
