Making Good Progress!
I have really made good inroads with my embroidery this weekend, especially today whilst watching the brilliant film "Little Miss Sunshine" (so funny).  I have definitely broken the back of it. I am trying to finish it within the next two weeks so I can take it for framing ready to give as a present.

 In the meantime my daughter and I started needle felting just before Christmas and I thought I'd post a couple of things I made as presents.

Not quite sure what the correct terminology would be - a riot of robins maybe?! They can be very territorial and bossy ;)

Two little owls on a branch which was my secret Santa for a knitting colleague who loves owls. 

Anyway I actually went from absolute beginner to absolutely making myself sick of it as ultimately I did too much too soon and basically put myself off needle felting ! 20 robins and various other little projects has left me without the felting bug for a bit. That and having to be on warfarin for a while,   Warfarin and needle felting needles def do not mix well!

I also made a Martin Storey design cushion which I really enjoyed making as a present. I really admire Martin Storey designs and was interested to read about him in one of the Rowan magazines.

Latest embroidery and knitting project

I finished two of these lovely projects two years ago but have decided to do another for a present. I'm just under half way and am aiming to finish in spring. I have other things on the go too, I m afraid. I always finish things eventually and like to start new things when I'm motivated. At the minute I'm working on a beautiful throw kit which I bought from a lady displaying at the Bakewell Wool Fest. I do this one if I'm feeling a bit tired and save the embroidery for when I more awake !

My throw kit from the wool Fest at Bakewell, from a lovely lady, Meg. 

My previous kit from Rowandean, my second is underway ! I also did 'Footpath to Quarndon' which I'll post another time.
