Wonderful updates Sina

The Wild Teasel is so realistic and great update on the porch, it's coming along beautifully.

very nice, unusual

Thank you all

As sitting in my stitching chair has proven to be quite painful I've been working on a smaller design. I can stitch it while sitting at my desk with my foot popped up.

It's goining to be a scissor keep, the design is by textile heritage and I'm going to fill it with real lavender flowers.
The front is finished, now onto the back!

Small projects are so useful at a time like this!! They distract from the discomfort and help to pass the time! PLUS you have something at the end of it!

So pretty and it will be a useful addition to your work box!

[Mabel Figworthy]

Such a pretty design, and I hope it's proved a good distraction!

[Garnet]

Ooh that's lovely, I thought it looked familiar, I have a similar textile heritage Lavender coaster and a Lavender sachet too, they are lovely, aren't they. It will be lovely with dried Lavender inside.

I hope it's proving to be a distraction for you.

Still sending healing vibes your way.

for your projects and lots of wishes that you heal soon!

Thank you!!!
I finished my scissor keep, no to finish it!



Not a good photo, will have a better one once finished.

[Garnet]

ooohhhh, Sina that is beautiful and such lovely neat even stitches too.

It will be wonderful with Lavender inside. I can almost detect the lovely scent.

Well done, it's lovely






edited because the smilies had a fit and put cake instead of a round of applause

Thank you!!!

I was able to work a little more on my Front Porch this weekend. My foot doesn't have to be put up at all times anymore so I can now more easily sit at my cross stitch stand.

Nearly finished all the backstitching now, not much more left.



Now that my scissor keep is finished I also started a new "in-between-project" I can work on while waiting at the hospital etc. It's a little viola wreath by LKE.

Love your updates and especially glad to hear that your foot is healing!!!

Oh Sina, that porch looks so inviting I would like to sit down on that chair and stitch please.

The Quilt looks so cosy I would like to unfurl it and get under it, although maybe not in the 28c heat we have today in North Wales!

I love your in-between piece too, just the right size for taking out and about.

Love your updates and especially glad to hear that your foot is healing!!!

I'll second everything that Carole says!!! Absolutely beautiful stitching!!

[fuchsiafairy]

Very pretty, love the quilt one, very colourful & nicely worked. Backstitch making come alive.

Great news that your foot is healing and letting you get back to the lovely Porch design. Love your scissor keep and now the new, 'carryout' out project too. A lovely update

[sina28]

Thank you everyone!!
Have been working on the wreath piece and on my crocheting. I'm doing mostly Amigurumis now, little and cute animals. My friend visited me on Saturday and "ordered" one of me, so she's going to get a cute penguin wearing a scarf and hat. Might distract me from this heat.

[wendywombat]

wonder if there is an Amirgurumi Puffin?

Those little crocheted critters are fun aren't they. A Dutch friend of mine makes them and did a sweet little dog for my youngest G'daughter.

I cannot get the tension right with crochet! It's always too loose so those tiny critters would end up HUGE!!

[sina28]

There is!
I found a cute little one on Etsy

Just look at that little beak
Oh and I also found this adorable badger

I think both of them will end up on my hooks eventually

Wow, Sina, what a productive recovery you are having! So glad that your foot is healing now
I just love your Lavender scissor keep and your porch is just wonderful!
