Hello Everyone! How are things with you today??? Here the sun is out and so is the washing, have been to the dentists and got off very lightly, and the builders will be finished by lunchtime. Yay! The front of the house and the little yard area are looking great, so now I am going to have to get myself off to the garden centre for some plants in pots for the finishing touches.
Thought I would show you some stitchy, patchy, prettiness today. Do you remember this post from soooo long ago?? Well I have finally done something with the frames I got at the charity shop. Over the summer they did get several coats of white paint but progress was slow due to entertaining small boys and holidays. I did also cut pieces for some patchy owls but decided they are too big for the frames so I will use them for something else. So here they are….
… a pair of teeny tiny patchy houses with ribbon, ric-rac and button flowers.
I was deliberating over whether to have the glass in the frames too, but decided it wouldn’t fit over the buttons so they will have to do without.
I was a bit rushed off my feet last month and didn’t manage to submit anything to the Woolhogs Made It Challenge so I am making up for it this month by being ultra-early with my entry and putting these two little houses forward. Join in if you can… lovely yarn and buttons to be won this time. I’m off to add my entry now.
Enjoy your Wednesday.
Love them! They are just adorable.
Thank you 🙂
oh wow Trish, they are sensational! I want them!!!! You are so talented and I sincerely an in awe of your work xxx
One day… When I work out the technology!… I will get a Folksy shop open and they will be available to everyone! Just need to get Mr P to help me sort the technology bit!!
Beautiful. So sweet and happy! Please ask Mr P for his help soon — and what about on Etsy as well???? 🙂 prod prod
Keep prodding 😉
Really pretty.I’d buy them. 🙂
Thank you!
They’re so sweet… especially the button flowers!
Love that bit. I spend ages choosing which buttons to use as flowers 😉
Very cute 🙂 Well done you! and good luck with Folksy 😀
I need more than luck… erm probably technologically educating!!
These are so, so lovely : ) x x
Thank you 😀
Very sweet Mrs. Well done!
Ta. I’m trialling a snowy, night time one with christmassy colours and button snowflakes now.
Gosh! it takes a lot of clicks to ‘like’ something these days. I think the pictures are absolutely deligtful. I wish I could make things like that.
Is it taking lots of clicks because wordpress is playing up?? Its been doing that to me lately.

Good work- impressive and darling!
Thank you. Its great to know you all like them.
Aww, lovely! (and with all the crafty stuff you’ve worked out on your own, I’m pretty sure you could work out Folksy too, when you’re ready 😉 )
I will get there… Eventually!
Love them, love them, love them!
So pleased you do 😀
gorgeous! i always think textile-y things look better without glass, all that tactile loveliness remains unsmooshed.
as an aside, i’ve changed internet browser and you *finally* show up as a blog i follow – hurrah! x
oh, and ps email me if you need any help at all with folksy!
Absolutely right about the glass… Would totally spoil the tactile-ness of it. Glad you can “see” me now! And no doubt I will be there with folksy questions very soon lol!!
I love them, they remind me a bit of the work of an artist, Michael Powell. He specialises in slightly wobbly buildings and I’ve done a couple of cross stitch pieces of his work. Thwy would definitely sell well 🙂
a delightful set, beautifully put together, well done.
Congratulations on winning this months Challenge! If you send me your postal address. (This should give you my email address). I will send you your prize.
Thanks for the message, I hadn’t seen the Woolhogs post. So pleased 😀 I’m already wondering what to make with them….
