Silent Night Barn Owl Stitchalong

Happy mail this morning with the arrival of goodies to begin stitching my second new start for 2024.

The design is Silent Night by Emma Congdon in the latest issue of Cross Stitcher magazine. The minute I saw it I knew I had to stitch it. Do you fancy joining me in a stitch-along? I’ll call it #silentnightemmacongdonsal and will be starting today but you can join anytime. 

Supplies purchased from www.willowfabrics.com.

What do you do with your Orts?

To close the year I like to empty the little jar where I collect all the thread remnants (Orts) from stitching and hand-quilting worked on in 2023. 

It’s such fun to hold it in my hand and see a visual history of the projects intertwined. The threads are stored in a ziplock bag to use later on as filling for small ornaments.

What do you do with your year-of-threads bundle or Orts as they are also called?

Bright Star, a free crochet pattern for you to enjoy.

Bright Star is a sweet and quick-to-make little crochet star created specially for my brilliant sister-in-law Xandra; because she asked if I had a pattern for a star so I made one for her.

The pattern is my gift to you which is free to download on my website.  Click the image to be taken straight there.

Wishing you lots of enjoyment making these.

The Weediflower Creations Shop

A few weeks ago I decided to move my shop over to Ko-fi from Etsy.  I though't i'd mention it here in my blog in case anyone wondered why my Etsy shop wasn't showing any listings.  My Ko-fi shop is located here https://ko-fi.com/weediflowercreations  

December 2023 is here

This time of year can be difficult for some and certainly for me this year it will be one of some emotional rememberances because it is the first December since my Mum's passing which is also her birthday month (and mine too). 

Be gentle and kind with yourself at this time of year.  Allow the little moments of magic and warmth to lift your spirits where it can.

Lots of love, Karen x
