Kia-ora As my last post said watch this space --well here is the Salmon piece I have been working on-
First picture with no stitching

Second picture  I feel it still needs more stitching

Keep watching this space.

Year of the Dozen 2012

Kia-ora and welcome to my blog for the year of the dozen 2012.
To start this year I will show you one of my other loves --my Garden.
I love to puddle around in my garden -- dusting --flowers are welcome weeds are not!!!
I can not walk past the garden without touching or picking or pruning --

 I have a constant companion with me Blaze a Blue Roan English Cocker Spaniel
12 pictures from Spring to early summer 2011
                                                     Granny Bonnets -

Kia-ora here is the last of my finished stitching for 2011. These were xmas pressies and I waited until they had been recieved before posting pictures  --
 A mixture of handwork and machine work , the colour is a very vibrant lime green with bright embroidery in thick Pearle thread.
