Bearwood Handmade Summer

Hello, little update on some lyric hoops I've been a-stitchin' recently, and some I'll be a-sellin' at Bearwood Handmade this Saturday!

The often mis-sung lyric from 'Come on Eileen' from local legends Dexy's Midnight Runners.

 

The amazing Minnie Riperton hitting those high notes as only she could. Love the sentiment of her classic.

 

And finally, from the Stone Roses, full of youthful swagger and Manc attitude.

 

If you're local, I hope to see you on Saturday and if not, well, please join me in spirit.

Belated Updated

Life is so busy at the moment, but as the sun streams through my window on this bright Spring morning I thought I'd take a minute to update this old blog with some new photos.

The hoops were made to commission for local peeps who obviously love our little community.

My tea cosies were a big hit at the Bearwood Handmade spring fair back in March. I had great fun as always making the pompoms.

These little fellas sold well too. Who couldn't love a smiley little cloud with a rainbow of raindrops?

And owls. Always owls.

I have some work to do if I'm to be ready for our summer Bearwood Handmade event, coming up on 22nd June. As well as the sewing, there's the flyers to get printed and delivered. I'm just hoping the sun keeps shining and the good people of Bearwood and beyond keep coming.

There, there, my deer

Have wanted to make a little deer ornament for ever it seems and just before Christmas, I finally got round to it. I enjoyed the tiny stitching and fiddling with sequins and seed beads so much that I actually made 10 more to give out as little gifts to some of my friends.

I rarely keep hold of the things I make. I have a favourite owl on the mantelpiece and now this little cutie.

Though it seems to have been bundled up with the Christmas baubles and put in the 'high cupboard' so I won't get to see it for another year!
