new embroidery illustrations

I have definitely neglected this blogging business for too long.
Well time to update and write *blog* into my schedule!

We, the family, have spent three delicious months in Dubai, which has been a fantastic experience. A warm winter, not sure I'll have the chance to do that again. But Christmas eve at a water park is bizarre yet fun, the father Christmas we met had trainers and sunglasses on!

Well I had the opportunity to make my embroideries happen. I have loved having the time to relax into my creativity with no pressure.

the girls were at nursery and school for two months, and enjoyed it too!

here are some pics of my embroidery illustrations I created.

bat pocket

My day off has been spent sewing...HOORAH!!

and I made a bat, a very happy bat, so I am now beaming too...

useful for secret messages to your loved one. 

Or for those teeth needing to go to the fairy.

hope your day brings as much happiness as mine!

recent embroideries...

At last finished Minna's just got Viola's to go !

embroidered hare and floaty person...dream land!

I have started a series of embroideries to be sold on Etsy soon....here is the first one. 

The idea is that she is floating along in a dream like way and being pulled by a hare. I want to capture movement and grace!

and I am keeping them very simple, this one is nearly finished...

any comments? please let me know what you think!???

a cat dress...

I have a tunic which I bought years ago, the style suits me well. so I have recreated it with some stretchy cord and  put a cat on the pocket to make it less dull, and make it mine!

 I learnt a lot making this, but it was fun. I have more different fabric but might  wait a while before I embark on that project, clothes aren't my 'thing'...

March fun!

At the beginning of March the girls and I went to stay with my sister Alice and Charlie for the weekend in London. Here is Minna doing some yoga with her Uncle Charlie (who is a yoga teacher!)

We visited the museum of Childhood, which was lots of fun and a perfect place to meet friends in the cafe then wander round at leisure catching up with said friends whilst the children are entertained!

here at home Minna and I spent an afternoon on the beach playing with shells, throwing stones, and digging in the sand. Viola and Christian were at home having an afternoon nap!
I love that it takes 5 minutes to walk to the beach, and the weather was so perfect that day.

Christian went to a conference and came back with this  bag which is  a good size for work, especially now Viola has started in the nursery where I work, so I can throw loads of our stuff in this bag... I made a badger to cover up the logo on the front of the bag. I am a bit obsessed with badgers at the moment.

  so lastly each girl with their respective big brothers! looks like an embroidery brewing to happen to me! and from 1st of April I have Thursday off which means time to play, lovely!
