I am a little late in posting this but I always like to decorate for Halloween. This is part of my bookcase display. I am really happy with my cross stitch pieces that I finished this year.
It has inspired me to make some more. I have a few more pattern ideas and some coloured material perfect for a bit of Halloween mood. Do you decorate for Halloween? What is your favourite type of decoration? Leave a comment, I'd love to hear.
Episode 33 of the Bishopstone yarns podcast is now up on youtube for you to see.
I was a few day late getting this one out as I have been sick with covid. This made it very hard for me to talk for any length of time without coughing, but I did manage to get a video made and put up on youtube. It may be a bit shorter than usual and without an intro as well but it is a video none the less.
I must admit that I struggle a bit with getting the type of footage I would like to include in my podcasts ( I guess that is the correct name for these videos). I seem to have a lot of trouble downloading from any of my devices to my laptop, therefore I have been filming everything on my laptop. When I had a different laptop and phone I could easily and most importantly , quickly download from one to the other. Now it seems to be a huge ordeal and so it puts me off trying again. I do think I should try and work out what I am doing wrong.
I hope you enjoy my video and please leave a comment as I always love to hear what everyone else is doing and making.
I thought it was time to have some FFO cross stitch projects. That is fully finished objects. I had a few pieces of cross stitch where I had finished the stitching and then put them away to finish later.
Until I started watching flosstube I was never really sure about how to finish off my cross stitch pieces. I had a few pieced that I had framed myself and one I had got professionally framed, but I didnt want to hang everything on the wall. I am so happy for finding some very inspirational stitchers on flosstube. So I just jumped in and made some very simple pillows. How simple was that, and now I can display my work instead of it being packed away.

I have been having so much fun sharing my crafting with you all. I hope you like this episode where I talk about my finished Ancient Gemstones shawl and my Ranunculus sweater.
I also head down the rabbit hole of cross stitch. This is a craft that I started when I was about 17 and did some Danish designs but have not really done much since then. I had forgotten how much time cross stitch takes up, but having said that I am still enjoying revisiting a bit of slow stitching.
