While I’m getting the Blossoms And Butterflies pyramajig ready for release I’ve started the test stitch for my next carpet, Withaness. My family name was Phillpotts. It’s one of those names that was often misspelled and we were forever chanting “Double ell, double tee, with an ess,” at people. My grandparents had a House “name’ plaque made eventually that read Withaness.

What’s more fun than a solar powered spider? Answer: Three solar powered spiders. (I do love my little toys.) Meanwhile, the test stitch for The Weavers Arms is coming along just fine.

Nearly finished stitching the border and looking forward to stitching the interesting bits. Usually I do the test stitches for my miniature carpets in needlepoint (for speed) but I’m working this in full cross-stitch.

My next miniature carpet is a little different from any I’ve stitched before. The Weavers Arms is designed with the haunted dollhouse in mind.

I’m going well on the test stitch for my next miniature carpet – Priestley Grove. Although I’m enjoying stitching this I’m speeding through it because I can’t wait to start stitching my next project. Yes! Another Tick Or Treat 3D clock.
