Mosaic Monday #5

G'day

Mosaic Monday is hosted by Mary @ Little Red House.

I have been getting a few of you who love my long stitch project in the header on this blog. So today I thought it would be great opportunity to take photos of some of the other embrodery projects I have completed.

I have also updated the header picture, which is of one of the embroidery projects. I found the free pattern online and I sketched it out onto canvas and cross stitched the pattern. This one is one of my favorites.

I have also updated a new blog background that matches wonderfully with the header picture :)

Ok, here is the mosaic picture for this Monday.
Click pic to enlarge.

The first and the last are long stitch and the second and third are cross stitch of the same project, which is the header picture.

I love embroidery projects like this, long stitch and cross stitch.


I have also cross stitched a bookmark, which I love and I am using now with the book I am reading which is New Moon by Stephenie Meyer, the second of the Twilight Saga. Really enjoying this one. I am also reading The Time Traveler's Wife by Audry Niffenegger.


I have another bookmark half way done, but it is one of those UFP and I cannot remember where I have placed, because the other day I wanted finish that, after a long time and bamb no where to be found :( The cross stitch bookmarks are fun to complete, I will have to find more, but the shops do not have really nice ones, yet ;)

Well anyways I will let you get on with your day :)
Thanks for visiting and come back soon.

Shadow Shot Sunday #24

G'day

Here is my Shadow Shot for this week, it has been a while.

Can you guess where the colored shadow comes from?
A new gadget that my hubby bought for me!!

Well I will tell you ! We went to Watergardens Shopping Center and my hubby thought he would like to buy me a new gadget, as there were a few to choose from. So we went to do our mini shopping and on the way back he went into the shop and bought me a "Lava Lamp". Ok you might be thinking, yep I have one of those or they are so expensive. But not this one, only twenty bucks and I have never had one of these before. You know what! I love my new Lava Lamp. :) Fantastic colors, yellow water and the wax is greenish and bluish, just perfect and the best one in the shop. I love the ever changing bubbles and colors.

Here are some pics from the first heating up until fully ready.



Here is another shadow of the lamp, with a smaller light shinning through.


I like this black and white shot :)

Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed my lava lamp? Do you have one and what colors?

Cats on Tuesday

Cats on Tuesday

IS A GROUP OF CAT LOVERS WHO WRITE ABOUT THEIR CATS ONCE A WEEK ON TUESDAYS

G'day. Apologies for not participating for a while, hubby was on holidays and my computers are busted for a while.

Just a few recent picks of Puss and Mitz outside on a beautiful and sunny day.
I have been feeding both chicken necks and pieces and they are full of life and happiness.
The canned and dry food are horrible, leaves them unhappy and Puss sort of gets dry skin too. Yuk. Sometimes I give them can food but only the best, Puss loves his fish. :)



The weather here, Aussie Land is warming up and we have beautiful sunny days, time to get great shots with my pets outside in the sun. All the flowers and trees are blooming too.



Also great weather for Gliding, maybe this Saturday :)

Anyways here are a few pics. ciao. I know it is a bit of a mixed bag for Cats on Tuesday!!

Visit Gattina at My Cats and Funny Stories and join in the fun for Cats on Tuesday.

Have a Fantastic Day and

Fiber Arts Friday

G'day

Here is another meme I have joined on Fridays called Fiber Arts Friday hosted by Alpaca Farm Girl. Please visit her and see the wonderful fiber creations from others around the world.

Well as you know from previous post I have made a pair of fingerless gloves, click here if you want to read and see pics. Hah, two different colors, I ran out of the dark green. I remember seeing more of the lighter green, too much stash, so today I decided to make another one to match the light green. I have just started on the cuff. As always clik on pic to enlarge.

These are so easy to make, I might make more, even turn them into gloves, just continue on the fingers. I might try that on the dark green fingerless glove, see how that works out :)

I also completed a strip on the yellow and white blanket in garter stitch knitting and have started the middle strip. Enjoying this one too especially when I am watching TV.


Ok this is not anything to do with fiber, but these are all the resin jewels that have been demoulded and curing. Click here to read about them. The pretty one, oval with flower, has dried up inside. I placed them in direct sun to speed up the process of curing and they dried up. But still look ok. They will cure for a good two weeks, before sanding occurs, any sooner they go yucky. I cannot wait, I really like the colored ones.


I picked up a novel at the local library today, "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger. I finished reading "Twilight" and I am still reading the "The Host" from the same author.

This is all for the week, I am still trying to orientate myself, hubby has gone back to work from two week break. I have to get back to my routine of blogging. I have been reading your blogs and as always enjoy. Thank you for everyone's comments, I do appreciate all.

I also have an Etsy shop called 'Crochet Creations'. Stop by for a browse sometime and spread the word, thank you :)

Enjoy your day and have a fabulous weekend

FingerLess Gloves

G'day

Yesterday was a fantastic day :)

I finally got a chance to crochet those fingerless gloves that I have been wanting for a long time. Teresa is the best, her videos are incredible, easy to follow and understand. She has recently posted up a video on the FingerLess Gloves for Ladies and Men. Click here for the vid.

I have chosen to make them light and the color dark green called Forrest. The blend is 60% cotton and 40% acrylic. Very soft and comfortable. I do not like scratchy wool, acrylic is alright.

Last night I completed one glove and this morning I weaved in the tails, yay, fab, the glove fits and for me it is comfortable and light.

On the other hand, haha, I have two hands, so now and I am planning on making the second fingerless glove today, make sure I equalize the warmth. :)

Here are some pics....

This is from last night, I only had two fingers to go.
Here is the finished one fingerless glove
Me very happy !!

Will post up pics when I complete the other!
Chat later.

Progress on second fingerless glove, here is the pic, just about completed the thumb..time for a break @ 11.04am.
Hi again @ 6.15pm, second glove is finished, now I have two warm hands, love them. The second one is much better. me very happy, now i can make a pair that match in color, even try gloves, just continue on the fingers to make them longer. Fantastic i cannot wait. :)
Now i can crochet, knit and type in warmth.

Have a go yourself they are fun to make :)


How is your day, been creative? What have you made recently?

Mosaic Monday #4

G'day

Mosaic Monday is hosted by Mary @ Little Red House.

Yesterday I made some resin jewelry from the flowers I collected on Saturday whilst walking out in the country. Today, Monday I popped them out of their mold, well four at the moment, three are still in the mold. Here is a collage of the resin jewels and the scenery from Saturday.

Clik pic to view larger


Here are all four jewels that have popped out so far. I cannot wait until they cure, then I can sand, polish, drill and wear them with pride and joy, knowing that I have picked those flowers and encased them for eternity for me to wear :)

My favorite is the flower in the oval shaped pendant.

I will add photo of the others when they come out.

These should not have bubbles in them, has been a while since I used resin, but I like the effect and it is not overpowering the flowers.


I have been away for a week now in bloggy land. My hubby was on two week break, he is back now and I will get back to blogging as usual. I am anticipating your thoughts and thank you for all your time to read my blog and have your say :)
