Another finish..

Hi everyone..a happy belated new year to you all :)

I hope you all has a great Christmas and start to the new year,

here's another finish, my Teddy latch hook cushion, I've yet to put a back on it and buy the cushion but that wont take too long, I'll post that with my next project.

I really love doing Latch hook, it's very relaxing with little concentration :)

Pooh and friends rug is finished

Hi Everyone,
I hope you all had a lovely weekend
Thank you for your lovely comments on my other posts.

Pooh bear and friends rug is finished and I'm fairly happy with it,
I say fairly because it wasn't finished the way I had planned.

I had bought some rug binding tape that was supposed to stick the canvas down but it was worse than useless and wouldn't even stick an envelope down
LOL
So..the first big plan was scrapped and it was down to hand stitching rug binding on,
using nylon invisible thread,

first stitching it onto the canvas

then going back round again to stitch down onto the back of the rug canvas

and one finished winnie the pooh rug :))

Happy Stitching :)

and happy new week to all

pooh bear update

I've been working on my pooh bear rug and it's nearly finished,

just piglet to do :)

this time I'm NOT sewing the binding on the sewing machine..last time I broke SO many needles

lol

And I'm not sewing it by hand...I worked my fingers to the bone doing that,

SO

how am I going to finish it...

Well,

you'll have to wait and see

:)

LOL

Pooh Bear Update

Thank you all for your lovely comments on my previous posts 

just a quick update post on pooh bear

This is the progress so far, about half way through

Hope you're all having a great stitchy week :)

Pooh And Friends update

Hi every one, hope you're all having a lovely stitchy weekend :)

Thank you for all your lovely comments on my peacock.

Here is an update on winnie the pooh latch hook

This rug is pretty big 20in by 28in

don't know what that is in cm..I'm old school hahaha

as you can see I'm working right to left, if you're fully left handed you would work left to right,

I also prefer to work vertically rather than horizontal but that's a matter of choice, as long as you work left or right depending on what hand you favour you will be comfortable with your work.

The other thing I do is separate all the wool before I start.

when you get a kit it comes like this 

with all the wool mixed together, this one is from the teddy cushion and there are about 12 of these!

I don't know why they do this, but, anyway, I spend time separating all the colors and put them into sandwich bags, like this

Winnie the pooh wool in sandwhich bags

it makes it so much easier than trying to separate those wool sushi things as you go

lol

Happy Stitching

Pooh and friends

What I'm working on at the moment,
Happy Christmas to all,
See you all in the new year.

Thanks mum

Storms and Rugs

Hi All, hope you've all had a lovely weekend :) 

The sun has shone today for the first time in weeks and it was lovely to get outside for awhile, even if it was just to mend fence panels after Fri/sat storms.

The rest of the of the day was spent finishing my cats rug :) 

To Finish it off I sewed Rug Binding to the edge and stitched it at the back to secure it, now it's ready for my cat to lay on :) it's lovely and warm and fluffy :)
