Coventry Canals

Just got back from spending a few days on a boat on Coventry Canals and in them. It was very peaceful, no phones, no tele, no computer and no boys.

The boat had a mind of its own, zig-zagging from one side to the other, the engine kept packing in, we hit a few obstacles, fortunately not any of the barges. Hubby fell into the canal on the first day, I thought I had nailed it, but no, I went in a few minutes before we berthed the boat on the last day before coming home.

Copper Brooch

Woven copper sheet with copper wire and beads. Size 4x3cm.

Button Fairy

This was supposed to be a scary button fairy,maybe if I had put a photo of my face on, it would have been more scary.

How long is the piece of string?

Here is my latest piece. It is a length of string machined wrapped, then couched down.

Another one to join the parade

Meet Dilly, she is going to join Dolly in the Peg Parade.

Master Class

I've done it at last, completed my last module of the Master class on stitched textiles and have been given the big tick. Hooray. The master class was run by Stitchbusiness which is situated in Durham. A big thank you to Julia and Tracy.

Dolls Parade

This takes me back to my childhood, making a peg doll.

I am a member of Stitch-in-9, and we are having an exhibition at the People's Theatre in Newcastle called 'Dressing Up' and we decide to do a parade with peg

dolls.
