Fly Away From Home Into A Great Adventure!

Hello Peeps,

 

Right now I am flying towards England!

A Pillow From Scraps

Hello Peeps,

These are some of the coolio scraps the Mother gave to Miss H when she cut the corners off her snowballs.

 

Miss H cut three white squares from some other scraps and designed three coolio pillows with a stitchery in the center and a verse around the whole lot.

 

Here is the first one ready and waiting to have the back sewn on.

 

Isn't this the cutest whale? It is from one of Miss H's favourite stitching books - Stitch Love Sweet Creatures Big & Small by Mollie Johanson.

Little Bee.

Hello Peeps,

 

For the past few months Miss H has been looking after a little girl called Little Bee on Mondays and Wednesdays. She takes her to Preschool in the morning and picks her up in the afternoon until her Mummy comes to pick her up. But this week is the last week because this Friday her new au pair arrived from Germany.

 

 

 

Miss H and Little Bee have had such fun. Each morning they would feed the ducks before walking to Preschool. This duck (who has affectionately been named Mr Ugly Duckling) was so tame that he would take the food right out of their hands!

 

Sometimes in the afternoon, Miss H would do a craft with Little Bee. This is the pretty hearts that Little Bee made with fabric scraps.

 

On Monday Miss H helped Little Bee to make some coolio bunting for her new au pair.

Saturday Show: Home!

Hello Peeps,

Next Sunday (5th July) Miss H will be winging her way towards England (I will be stuffed into her luggage - no luxury for me! - but at least I am going...)

So today's Saturday Show will be the last for a little while because next Saturday will be crazy!!!

But don't worry, I will keep you up to date with my English Adventure...

...and there will also be posts about the different crafts and creative activities Miss H and the Mother have secretly been up to over the last few weeks.

The Mother stictched this lovely "Home" stitchery by Jenny of Elefantz.

It sits on the Mother's hutch along with lots of her old fashioned bits and bobs.

Saturday Show: Top Secret Quilting Group

Hello Peeps,

Today Miss H, the Mother, and I joined a top secret quilting group for some sewing.  They also brought their finished quilts to show everyone - so I thought I would share their amazing quilts with you for today's Saturday Show!

 

 

 

 

Heehee! Can you spot me in each of the above photos?

 

Ow! Miss H pinned me to the pin board!

The Mother also learnt a cool new technique for quilting lines: use duct tape and stitch down the side of it.

Oh, and there was yummy food of course! (Everyone started on the lovely cheese scones in the basket at the back - but I dived into the triple chocolate brownie!)

*Disclaimer: NO sheep were harmed in the making of this blog post. I was pinned to the board through my very stylish waistcoat. But I did get a tummy ache from eating all that brownie!

Rainbows and quilts - two of my favourite things!

Hello Peeps,

Armed with a rainbow of threads...

...Miss H has been quilting (in between hand stitching)!

Saturday Show: Mother's Day Present

Hello Peeps,

Today's Saturday Show is a bit different because it isn't a quilt or a wall hanging. Miss H doesn't buy Mother's Day, birthday, or Christmas presents for the Mother anymore - she MAKES them. The Mother usually chooses a stitchery pattern she loves and asks Miss H to stitch it for her. For this Mother's day she wanted it stitched on a dollie from the Op Shop.

Doesn't the dollie look pretty? It's a bit too girly for me though...

This is the cute mouse stitchery. It matches the Mother's room perfectly!

Miss H sometimes gets a bit of a say in the colour choices, and whenever she can she likes to sneak in some aqua.

 

And look - the mouse has blue eyes just like Miss H. Miss H is pretty sneaky!
