Easter Cross Stitch

Its Easter weekend and I thought I would have a change from knitting. I started a small cross stitch. I have an idea which I am trying out. I hope to share it with you soon.

New Year, New ideas

It's time to get stuck in. It's already February, where has the time gone. I've got lots of ideas
I just need to find the time. I have been working on some new knitted jumpers and dresses for bears and dolls  as well as designing some new furniture. Watch this space.  Is there anything you are looking for to enchance your bears or dolls?

Despite not posting recently I have been busy with the knitting needles. 

I dressed "Sally" recently for the Auckland Doll and Bear Show. 

She is an artist collectable bear from Bears by Tracey

Finishing off

I am not sure about you but I always find that I leave the final finshing touches off and then find I have pile of incomplete garments.  Well, I am trying a new strategy, finish everything off as I go, so its ready for its new owner.  We will see.  So I have just finished blocking a number of miniature cardigans, pullovers, hoodies and hats.  Just have to add a few embellishments and they are all done, Can't wait. 

Getting ready to block the knitting

Getting started

For some time now I have been thinking about starting a blog.  Its all a bit nerve wracking.  I have a passion for miniatures and have been busy working on my knitting and needlework.  As I get organised I will share things with you and look forward to meeting others with similar interests. 

I have been working on my pattern for a hoodie for a small bear.  At last I have got it correct.  I am in the process of blocking it and then will take a photo to share with you.
