Hi everyone, phew its been a while! I have not been doing much sewing or cross stitching lately and I am woefully behind on my monthly pillows that I am making for the Hands On Design cross stitch patterns that I receive monthly from the Fat Quarter Shop, but I am hoping to get the September and October pillow finished before the month is over.
Its funny isn’t it how we change around our crafts when we are not in the mood and then we return to them with renewed enthusiasm, so hopefully the cross stitch will be making a reappearance this evening.
Whilst I am on the subject of cross stitch, I would like to say a huge thankyou to all of the people who nominated my blog again for the Cross Stitch Blog of the year in the British Craft Awards 2018, I was so thrilled to hear I had been nominated again, it is really appreciated that you take the time to do that, so thankyou!
I will put the links at the bottom of this post so that you can go and vote for your favourite nominees, I am amongst many other cross stitchers that are so deserving of this award.
A gift
You know how I love putting little gifts together, well during the summer I made another of the Autumn Shawls that I love to make, it only takes a few days of knitting so in knitting terms that is rather a quick knit. I knew this person loved Autumn colours so that is what I went with.
The bag is really pretty, I chose this to match light coloured trousers and thought this would be the perfect accessory.
I love the Modalu bag, they are one of my favourite designers, it is so beautifully made and goes with almost anything.

So glad to see a post from you – I was getting worried about you! Such beautiful work – love the autumn shawl and granny pillows. Your work is always so inspiring. I cast my vote – at first thought they were going to knock me out because I do not live in the UK but then it did not. Best of luck – you deserve many an award!
And ofcourse I have voted right away! *Ü*
You have been busy and allthough I saw some pictures on IG it is always nice to see them here on a bigger screen.
Wow 23 degrees, you lucky woman! Here in Holland we had 15 degrees today. Not very bad but no sun and grey skies. Luckely I had a lot to do inside *Ü*
