New work
Some new work... my first attempt at quilting :)
Hand-printed white linen, some panels hand-embroidered...
badly sewn together, soon to be picnic rug.

Distraction
Working on the big project has been mentally exhausting. I just couldn't look at it anymore... so I started a new collection of mini-projects to do when I can't do the biggie a moment longer ;)
I came across this wonderful quote and wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.
"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always."
Birthday portrait 2018
I've been doing birthday portraits for the little one for a few years now.
There are some past efforts here.
This latest one is probably the closest to capturing her spirit, so I added some text to fit :)
"When I count my blessings, I count you twice."
Progress report
Oh my... this is slow work, people! Has it really been 2 years since I last posted?
Why are you even still around to read this? :))
The day job has been very demanding, but some progress has been made, on this and other distraction projects.

New Hex Blanket
There's a gorgeous blanket by Lutter Idyl that I've had saved in my Pinterest folder for ages now. I've loved it forever :) So, when searching for ideas for a new project, I decided to have a go at making my own version... and here it is! I won't be putting it in the shop because it's not my design. It'll just rest in the presents drawer now until needed :)

Colour Me Happy Harlequin!
I've crocheted up my Harlequin Blanket pattern in a new colour scheme... what do you
think? This colour combination makes me feel all at once warm and cosy and happy :)
It's now in my Etsy store :)

Birthday portraits
Long time no see! Unfortunately, I've been swamped with the day job but I have made
some time to start a new little ritual... birthday portraits to document the last fleeting
years of childhood. My eldest has already left the nest and it's made me realise I need
to capture time with them while I can and treasure where we are now.
These photos were taken exactly one year apart, and I'm amazed at the difference one
year can make.
Also, now that photo albums seem to be a thing of the past, it's a small way of keeping
a curated record of sorts I think :) Do you still keep a photo album? How do you document
the years?

New Harlequin Pattern
I've released a new crochet pattern in my Etsy store – my version of the fresh + bold
Harlequin design :) With loads of instructions, both pictorial and written, it's an easy
pattern that even beginners can use to create their own blanket.
It's the perfect time to get in early and start on your very own Harlequin blanket in time for
the Winter!
You can find my Harlequin pattern here :)
