Sad News

Hello there, i've been quiet on here for a few weeks. Sadly my Mum passed away and as you can imagine it has been a very difficult time. 

I am taking time to be quiet, to rest and to reflect over the next coming weeks and will be back when i'm ready. 

Until then keep crafting and taking care of yourself. 

Love Karen x

May 2023 News

Hello friends,

Here we are in May and what a gorgeous month it tends to be here in the UK.  Spring is in full swing and i'm enjoying the longer days, which allows me more time for stitching in the evening after dinner accompanied by the song of the blackbird who lives in our garden.

​Last month I was delighted to introduce my newest cross stitch design called 'Memory' in my series Echoes of South Africa. This piece is egg-shaped as a nod to the season and festivities in April and  shows a sunset with elephant in earthy colours.  I also included a bonus chart to stitch the piece as an oval shape if preferred.

In March I celebrated reaching 500 subscribers on my YouTube channel and as promised announced two winners in April's episode to select a chart of their choice from my shop.  Both chose 'Memory' and i'm looking forward to seeing their completed pieces in the future.  If you've not yet visited my channel I'd love it if you would come over and  join us. 

Of course I can't sign off without mentioning the Coronation which took place this weekend.  To commemorate the occasion I created a free chart which is available for instant download in my Freebies section.  It's been so lovely and joyful to see them popping up on people's social media photos and videos so beautifully stitched.  I am honoured that you invest your time in stitching my creations.

Thank you for visiting me here on my website and I hope you find a project or freebie you like.

Happy crafting.

Love, Karen      x

 

A new pair of socks off the needles.

A new pair of socks just off the needles.  I’m still a beginner sock-knitter but pleased to say that with every pair it’s getting easier and more relaxing to do 😊 

These were knitted using 2.5mm Knitpro Zing needles by @knitproeu and the yarn is Funny Feetz by @jamescbrett in the colour FZB14 (wool and bamboo blend). It was a joy to knit with and I’m very pleased with the results. 

Yarn purchased by me from @woolwarehouse

Kindred Spirits Stitchalong

My copy of Kindred Spirits by Teresa Kogut is on its way and I can’t wait to get started.  I love this piece so much and it makes me smile every time I see it.  I’m going to start it next week as soon as my supplies arrive 🥰. Who would like to join me in a #kindredspiritssal because if you are also stitching this it will be so much fun doing it together. 

Love, Karen x
