A modern bookish cross stitch

September 29, 2017

A couple of weeks ago I started a new cross stitch project, a house warming present for a friend. Emily is a school librarian and we both share a love of all things bookish, so I took this opportunity to create a cross stitch using a well known saying. I had a hunt on Etsy … More A modern bookish cross stitch

October 21, 2016

This month I managed to finish an epic cross stitch, a family tree sampler from the Historical Sampler Company Ltd via Sew and So. I had started this cross stitch last year so that I would have it finished for my parents 40th wedding anniversary. However my hand eczema flared up and I had to … More I finished it: Family tree cross stitch

Sitting outside in the garden trying to decide what mini colour to use with the buttercup for a pair of socks. What colour do you think I should go for? . In related news I'll not be doing any knitting today as my right hand is too sore from all that gardening I did yesterday. #secateurhandisarealthing. . . . . . #colours #color #knitting #yarn #yarnaddict #addictedtoknitting #addictedtoyarn #rainbow #almostarainbow #emmabridgewater #cats #layfamilyyarns #greenelephantyarn #miniskeins #skinesofwool #irishyarndyer #britishyarndyer #indiedyer
My girls baked me some scones (with my supervision) and I think they did very well. I've included the recipe in a blog post up 🔝 . . . . . #scones #baking #cookingwithkids #childrenscooking #jam #bonnemaman #raspberryconserve #food #yummyscrummyday #kidsinthekitchen #kidscooking #afternoontea
Miss E bought herself this cute little needle felted duck from @littlewoollysheep at The Fine and Dandy Market today. . . . . . #littlewoollysheepfibreart #fineanddandymarket #needlefelt #duck #yellow #jemimapuddleduck #canard
Fifteens - made some of these with the kids this afternoon. The 'recipe' is on my blog 🔝 . . . . . #fifteens #traybake #emmabridgewater #marshmallows #spots #hearts #mugoftea #tea
P R O G R E S S - I'm really enjoying knitting up this cardigan. I think part of it is down to the needles. I bought these Chiaogoo Red Lace needles to use as I was frustrated by the process of knitting my Worsted Boxy using wooden Knitpro ones. These new ones are so fast (is that even a thing?), I feel like I'm speeding along as they're so silky to use. . It's a miserable bank holiday here in Belfast - nonstop rain. But at least I have a cup of tea and chocolate. My girls have already put on a theatrical performance for us and now Miss E is making a paper mask after she saw an online tutorial. . . . . . #tea #chocolate #lindor #knitting #knittersofinstagram #crfated #handmade #handcrafted #rowanyarn #green #rowanbabymerinosilkdk #emmabridgewater #collectorsmug #wip #campsidecardigan #eastercaston
I have started knitting the Campside Cardigan by Alicia Plummer. The swatch was pretty much spot on so I hope that I keep the same gauge. . Happy Easter to you all, I hope you enjoy the long weekend. #hehasrisen . . . . . #campsidecardigan #campsidecardi #cardigan #knitting #knit #wool #wooladdict #aliciaplummerdesigns #knittersofinstagram #rowanbabymerinosilkdk #green #easterknitting
