A friend asked me if I could do a voodoo doll with girlie problems to stick the pins in. This is what I came up with. I didn't have room for the words "bad hair day" - so I gave her one! The lower version is now in DBC.

In my Cute Secret Santa Role, I am finding that some of our Secret Sisters are struggling with really serious illness. They don't wish to "go public", but I'd like to ask you all to spare a thought for them.

Another ITH zipped purse. The zip shows up in this one because it contrasts with the prints. I digitised this one to use up narrow strips of pretty prints.

ITH patchwork purse - you may need to zoom in to see the zip between the top two stripes.

Scottie and I went on an expedition today to find two fabric shops. The first was Economy Fabrics (near Chesterfield) which was a hotch potch of rolls of an amazing variety of cheap fabric. The second was Heaths Country Store (near Ollerton) an absolute p

When Scottie and I were having an adventure in Heath's Country Store today, we spotted this saying. We asked permission to use it and this is my first draft of the design. I think I'd like a more solid font, but this is very much in the style of the sto

Christmas bear - Susan (rsehorse) inspired me to try a bear in Christmas print. This one is James from Embroidery Outlet. I have to say that I haven't made nearly such a good job as she did!

Fabric bowl - I found some of these I'd made before I had an embroidery machine so I thought I would try an updated version!

More 3D applique. I liked the flowers I did yesterday so I thought I would try a poinsettia. I need to tweak the centre a bit. This is done in regular felt because cleaning cloths don't come in enough colours!

I wanted to experiment with some 3D applique today and I needed a card for a "milestone" birthday. Who said cards couldn't be round? I bet you can't guess what is inside!

Notebook covers - I wanted to try these DBS elephants so I put them on a pair of matching book covers (A6 and A5.)

Prototype pocket sized stegosaurus. Made ITH using fleece. Design needs tweaking a bit, but I think he has a future! (Sorry he is a tad out of focus)

Fed up of Owls yet? I've been trying to work out how to use my Gigahoop since I got it as a birthday present. This is my first vaguely successful design. I though it might make a bag, but it was too tall and thin so I put a back on and made it into a cus

CDs for Christmas. I've been meaning to try a Christmas decoration with the CD recycling design for ages. The backing fabric is a red and green holly print. It was very quick to do using the redwork designs. (Sorry I can't remember where they came from.
