I know - it just goes too fast all of a sudden.

Thanks Sarah - I may be counting down the months until I’m free to do more of this 😊

Very much enjoyed making this Crewel Work Company pattern, using my own stash of threads.

Having a day of finishing things. I completed this Canevas Folies pattern in May, but only now getting around to doing something with it. It’s too easy to just leave things in the done pile, & move on to the next project without giving them a decorative or functional purpose…

Just framed this pretty Roseworks pattern ready to be sent off as a gift.

It’s hard I know. Six years and still can face the idea of another…

He’s a recent addition - not there when I was a child.

Lovely day trip to Caerphilly castle today. So easy to neglect things close to home, but this was definitely worth a re-visit after 15+years. I know it’s at least that long as no photos on my phone!

Just finished this lovely little Melbury Hill kit. I went quite rouge though, and decided to use my stash of beautiful hand dyed silk & wool threads for the foliage & moth.

I look like a criminal on mine! Plus the added sting of a ‘blue’ passport 😿

Another project finished, though my stash never goes down 😊 This one was fun to make and took exactly three weeks, while working full time.

Yes exactly that, stops the wool in the completed areas being damaged & hoop marks in the fabric.

I’ve been busy with embroidery - my current project includes another peacock.

I’v been kind of hiding from reality & really busy in work… Hope you are doing ok under the very trying circumstances x

The Angelica is liking the warm weather & makes a lovely cut flower.

We are still trying to convince British Gas that our actual usage is £158% less that their ‘estimate’!!! We caved & ordered a smart metre to try to get it resolved & then that got cancelled & rebooked with no warning & no one bothered to tell us! So much sighing….

Kath Hudson @kathhudson.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

I’m please with the way this lovely little Jenny Blair pattern has worked out. I used to be scared of PDF patterns, but this one was fairly easy to trace. There is something very satisfying about creating a physical object this way.

How lovely - anexcellent present! That sounds like great fun.

Kath Hudson @kathhudson.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

Yep, when I got caught I was right in the middle of dealing with a problem, and …. sigh. I’m glad the do it actually - much better to be mortified and learn from it than a BL scenario!

Kath Hudson @kathhudson.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

Oh no, I feel your pain. I had that email yesterday & thought it was ‘iffy’ and did nothing. But I did get had by one a few months ago, to my mortification. It caught me at a bad time, but it’s very salutary!

Very happy with the way my latest addition to my embroidery wall worked out. This vintage kit was a random EBay find.

😿 In a few weeks time we have to have our broad band upgraded to full fibre - right in the middle of the week I’m doing a ton of PDRs! So really hoping it is just one afternoon & all goes smoothly….

Kath Hudson @kathhudson.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

Oh no - I hope it gets sorted for you soon!

It’s a cute pattern isn’t it. My first ( and so far only) EBay purchase. Couldn’t resist!

😊 we did in retrospect sing very odd things in junior school… She’ll be coming round the mountain, for instance who I wonder?

I know an Altan track called Green Grow the Rushes and I’ve heard of the other, but certainly couldn’t sing it!

Kath Hudson @kathhudson.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Thank you ☺️ They were a bit like a good book - I wanted to finish, but sad there are no more. Now made a start on my vintage EBay find. Not using the ancient wool that came with it though!

I really enjoyed making these little creatures designed by the Crewel Work Company. My next challenge is to try turn them into a wall hanging!

Someone else told me that too. Won’t be bothering!

I finished this lovely little Sarah Smith design in the Summer, but only now got around to turning it into a box lid. That part went fine, but I wish I’d just painted the rest of the box instead of trying to cover it as that is definitely not my skill set!!!

Yes of course, that’s it! Still might pretend ignorance and make up a purple plant though! 😊

I wanted it to be a Sea Holly so I could use purples, but…
