Fall Pyn Keepe Exchange

by Bette_H, in category Cross Stitch, Exchanges, Finished, Sewing Basket

A couple of months ago I signed up for the Hooked on Exchanging Fall Pyn Keepe Exchange.  I was so excited to be able to participate after around about a year of not being part of any exchanges.  I had chosen not to be involved in previous exchanges because every time I did get involved,… Read More

Time…

by Bette_H, in category Musings

…where does it go? Today I finally got to spend a couple of hours at my sewing machine, but needed to spend a lot more preparing for work this week. Are we really up to mid October? It seems like only yesterday that I was asked if I would consider taking Year 12 Further Maths… Read More

Doing the jig…

Woo hoo!!  She is finished!  I have placed the last stitch in Sophie! … welllll, almost.  I still need to stitch the buttons on, but as 2 of them are currently wandering around somewhere, I will have to call this finished for now. Okay, so the important details.  Started before we moved back to Australia,… Read More

Stitching progress

by Bette_H, in category Cross Stitch, Family Time, General, out and about, Sewing Basket

Yesterday we had the last of the calisthenics comps for this year over in Gladstone Park.  For whatever reason, the girls were a little down, and it took a while to get them revved up.   It did not help that one of our girls had gone away for the holidays and still wasn’t back,… Read More

Autumn Pyn Keepe

by Bette_H, in category Cross Stitch, Exchanges, Musings

About 2 months ago I signed up for the Fall Pyn Keepe exchange over at Hooked on Exchanging.  I had done the maths and had worked out that if I got stitching straight away, I could get the pyn keepe in the mail before the crazy fortnight leading up to the Deb Ball arrived.  I… Read More

October Goals..

by Bette_H, in category Cross Stitch, Musings, Patchwork and Quilting

In August I set a number of goals, but was unable to achieve any of them.  So in October I am trying to be more reasonable.  In October I am aiming to… complete the first of Blackbird Designs Anniversaries from the Heart – Snow Garden.

by Bette_H, in category Cross Stitch, General, Musings, Samplers, The Needlework Boutique

I have long loved my cross stitch, and today was thinking about who my favourite designers would be.  I decided to restrict the list to only 10, but I could easily add many more… Blackbird Designs – I have loved their designs for many years, with many of the designs being quite quirky.  I have… Read More

August Goals – recap

by Bette_H, in category General, Musings

It is now October, and I am only now updating my August Goals.  Unfortunately, I did not get to meet any of my goals, but I can forgive myself, because I spent so much of Term 3 working around the clock on my school stuff, that not much else got done.  The odd occasion that… Read More
