I had a close call when I reached the front wall of BrightSea Village‘s Toy Shop. When I started stitching I had forgotten to allow for the extra height of the front wall. You can imagine my relief, I’m sure, on discovering I still had five rows before the edge of my fabric.

I’m keen to finish now because I’m so looking forward to starting my next project.

Wishing you all good things in 2023 and happy stitching!

Mr. Jinx’s Home For Retired Cat Ladies is now welcoming guests and their furry friends. There are at least twenty-one cats playing around this house while their human friends relax and enjoy their company.

Oops! I haven’t posted here for ages. Must have been too busy stitching. Brightsea Village’s restaurant, The Starfish is on the brink of being released (hopefully this month).

Meanwhile I am zipping through the stitching of the next mini carpet, Svendborg. I am frantic to finish because I can’t wait to start the next BrightSea Village house. Every time I design something new I look forward to stitching it but I am super excited about this one. Wait and see!

You know, there are other ways you can use your stitching patterns. I have used some of mine for latch-hooked rugs, knitting designs and, recently, mosaic. This one was done with junk mail cut into 2mm squares, using part of my Bee Happy Pyramajig pattern.
