Welcome to my new blog.  Yeah I know it’s just a continuation of the old one, on a new site, with a different layout, but it feels shiny and new to me…

It’s probably going to be undergoing quite a few changes over the next few weeks as the site comes together as a whole (hopefully) and things like the format get tweaked.  I hope you’ll be patient with me…

If you are looking for the old blog you can still find it at

but all new stuff will be posted here.  Oooo it’s all so exciting, which probably says something deep and meaningful about my life, but I’m to tired to worry about it…

A Work In Progress

This last week has been busy and unfortunately sewing machine-less.  So I decided to spend my little sewing time working on my version of the Forever Friends Bag by Lynette Anderson.

I decided to do the motif as simple stitchery instead of appliqué.  In part because I really need the hand stitching practice and partly because I can do it sitting on the sofa watching tv.

It also gave me a wonderful excuse to buy more of the variegated threads that are available.  Yeah, yeah I know… any excuse hehe…

I’m not quite finished as I’m super slow with hand stitching but I’m having fun.  Ooooo and my sewing machine is now back home safely much to my relief.  Thanks to everyone who sent their prayers and good vibes for his return.
