Wedding album for friends. The church on the cover is where the wedding will be. Margaret has been associated with the church for many years since her late husband was the vicar. They will be leaving the village after the wedding so I hope this will be a

Here are two more members of the Little Fat Owl Club. I'm particularly fond of the wizard.

My friend Jacqui is a singer who loves to crochet - she is also bringing me lots of fabric from Portland, Maine tomorrow. This bag is to say thank you! (My woodturner in residence made the handles for me. I think he will have to make more!)

If you have a few minutes, have a look at this link. The film was made as a community project last week in Lincoln (our nearest city.)<br /><br /> <br /><br /> I'm really sorry - this link has worked perfectly when I sent it by email, but for some

To Dennis in particular, but everyone else with a GSOH. Follow the link to read an email chain following a gentleman's complaint to a leading UK supermarket. I have tears streaming down my face from laughing so much.

A hat more suitable for a little boy. (No scallops!) Pam (justsew) very kindly tested this design for me and provided the picture. We all seem to have a teddy bear just the right size!

At last after much testing and faffing about, here is the final version of the babies sunhat that Rescuer showed you last week. The middle of the flower is big enough to add an initial. Now working on a unisex hat so boys aren't excluded!

I've made this poncho from the rainbow colours left over from a previous project. (Plus quite a lot more navy that I had to buy!) Even when the weather is good here in the UK it gets cold late in the evening and we go to quite a few outdoor events. I cro

Table cloth for an entomologist. I've always liked and respected insects as the most successful living things on the planet so I couldn't resist using the Miniature Menagerie designs from Urban Threads on a tablecloth. Very difficult to photograph so I

This current freebie from Urban Threads suggested itself for a little wall hanging for my camper. The design is really a bit big, but I wanted to try out an idea I had to make an ITH wall hanging.

I decided to make a bag to keep my hand-embroidery project on the go using the zebra cross stitch I finished a few weeks ago. It is big enough to take my hoop and stand (the kind you sit on to use hands free.) I've let it hang a bit sideways so you can s

I ordered some fabric from the Kisco Fabric Guild and couldn't resist spending £5 on this mixed bag of 50 craft items in their clearance department. There is so much stuff that I'll never use in a million years, but there are some treasures among it!

Carolyn started the trend of camper flags - this one is for my friends (neither of which is like a dragon) who have this Celtic dragon as a decal on the side of their camper.

I need to know if all embroidery machines are able to mirror designs, so I suppose I need to ask if anyone has a machine that can't. Over to you.
