On the road

There has been a touch of busy-ness around these parts lately. Just before I was felled by the disease-most-hideous, I was designer-by-invitation at Melbourne Urban stitches.
St Kilda was a fantastic venue - ( even if Lunar Park was closed). We stitched and chatted and laughed for the whole weekend. I got to catch up with lots of crafty friends and I  met some great new ones.

Last weekend saw me jet off to Sydney with Mellly and Me and Rosalie Quinlan for the Sydney version. I haven't been to Sydney for years and I felt a bit nostalgic for those misspent teenage times loitering about the Sydney train stations. 
We had a fantastic time and somehow ended up belly-dancing in the street.

This little man was my Urban Stitches project and he joins the rest of the little hand-sewn family. I really enjoy these little guys and while I am not planning on covering the whole alphabet , I can tell you I am not quite finished with them yet.

  2. Funny - the places people loiter during their teen years. I didn't have an exciting enough train station near me but I did have a bowling alley which was good and sometimes I would even bowl although then you had to wear ugly shoes which, when you are 14 or 15, is of enormous significance.
    I hope you are now fully recovered from the disease-most-hideous.

  3. I love Foxy. He's very cute. Sadly, mine is still headless! Still. I shall get there. :)
    One thing about the alphabet is that you can make a career out of the potential, even if you don't do all 26 letters. We're enjoying the journey with you.
    Cheers
