New Giveaway - Making More Beaded Jewellery

Here is another Rainbow Disk book on disk - Making More Beaded Jewellery.  There are 50 projects in this one - enough so everyone will find something they would like to make.  You can read all the details on the Rainbow Disks website here. This giveaway is the same as the others - you have to write a review of the disk after you have won it and had a chance to look at it please. 
You can have one entry for telling me your favourite type of bead and another for telling me you are a follower.  You have until Wednesday, April 11th, to enter this one. 
I asked in the last giveaway for people to guess why I was doing all the giveaways. Well, there were some good guesses and they were all right to some degree.  I am de-stashing, I had extras of these disks, I passed the 200 followers mark, etc.  Mostly though it is because  I have been down and out with a rotten virus and broncitus so haven't felt like stitching and had nothing to post about as a result!  lol  I hate to not be yakking away here so I thought giveaways were a good answer.  Stay tuned - there are more coming.

Hi Kerry, sorry you aren't feeling well. My favorite beads are the ones made of semi precious stones. I love that they come from the earth. Hope you get to feeling better.

Giveaway Day! (CLOSED)

I am very happy to be joining in the Giveaway Day through Sew, Momma, Sew .  I have chosen to share one of my finds from a shopping trip, or treasure hunts as I think of them.  This is an antique sewing box -  I could not resist it when I saw it for sale!  Were you able to guess the item from the sneak peek earlier in the week? The box itself is fairly small, 8 inchs X 6 inchs and 4 inches high (20 cm X 15 cm and 10 cm high).  From my research it is of Asian origin. Inside the sewing box is lined with hand-painted silk.  The inside of the lid features a neat little needlebook. In the bottom of the sewing box there are more beautiful hand-painted blossoms and an attached pincushion.  I hope you are as charmed by this little box as I was when I found it and that you will enter my giveaway.  I will be pleased to mail internationally so everyone is invited to enter. To enter, visit my Etsy shop and then come back and leave me a comment telling me which item you like best.  Feel fr

Save the Stitches Finished!

 I finally finished my "Covid Project"!  I worked on Elizabeth Almond's beautiful blackwork sampler design, "Save the Stitches" for much longer than I would like to admit...  I have to say though that it was very satisfying every step of the way.  I have not been able to concentrate on stitching in any significant way for some time now due to chronic pain and the dullness that the pain meds cause but having finished this piece gives me hope for my stitching future.  I also love the framing which was lovingly done by MJ of "Art Effects" in High River, Alberta.

BAS Week 35 - Bullion Stitch

This time the BAS Challenge is a stitch that can be used in either seams or motifs. It is an incredibly versatile stitch once you learn it. I put off learning the bullion stitch because I found it very intimidating, but I have to say that once I got the hang of it I have had a lot of fun with it. The possibilities are almost endless..... bullion roses... ... figures like watering cans... ...Christmas puddings... ... this little robin and worm - my personal favourite!... ....romantic hearts filled with roses... ... even a beehive and little bees.... ... or baby rattles! See, the possibilities really are endless! Now that I hope I have you inspired with ideas, here is the scoop on this stitch. It is simply a glorified french knot! There is an excellent video tutorial on Mary Corbet's Needle'nThread blog in her Video Library of Stitches. Mary has also written very good information and tips in this post.
