He Heals
I found a beautiful frame at a second hand shop on Saturday which inspired me to make this design. Made from up-cycled linen and embroidery pieced together. I felt the Scripture “He heals, the wounds of the broken-hearted” captured the mood of the colours … soothing, calming and gentle to the soul.

Knitted throw
I always like to do something while watching tv in the evenings. I recently found three balls of white wool so I started knitting the middle of a blanket. Given I don’t know how to follow a pattern I just did ‘knit’. Then I ran out of the white so I decided to crochet some…

JUST LOVE cushion
I haven’t posted for ages. I’ve still been making things but you know what it’s like….time consuming! Ha! Anyway, I made this the other day and sold it on Facebook Marketplace the day I finished making it for NZ$25. I was delighted that it went to a friend of my mum’s who was moving into…

It doesn’t take long to add a bit of loviliness to towels in the bathroom. I don’t usually ‘bling’ the drying towels but just the ones people dry their hands on. Also makes a great Christmas gift! Bye for now! Jo x

I ordered some brads from Spotlight, and I made the little brown circles out of card with my CRICUT maker,…

Stay in your Bubble!
As promised yesterday I thought I would do something relevant to the start of this year and our key message from our Prime Minister here in NZ. We went into lock down hard and fast and it seems to be paying off. Staying at home and in my bubble is easy for me.

Blues & Greens
As you’ve probably guessed by now, if you know me at all, I love little houses! I also love to cross-stitch at night when I’m watching Netflix. I feel like sitting watching Netflix isn’t a waste of time if I’m doing something! So I cross-stitched this little house without a clue what it would…

Christmas Gold Purse
After spending some time in the garden this morning it’s always nice to come inside and watch gardening programmes on Netflix while doing some sewing. With Christmas coming up I’m trying to make as many Christmas presents as possible so it is enjoyable without the stress of time pressure. I had one lovely piece of…
