Here is my henny penny cushion knitted in lambswool. I just love these type of images that remind me of my childhood.

Here is my lambswool cowboy cushion with added extras (cactus, horseshoes) and a checky back.
There is a big one and a smaller one, both available on etsy !

I must apologise to everyone who has left lovely comments for me on my blog, I have been pretty bad at keeping it up to date and chatting back but that is going to change!
I just keep knitting/upholstering away at home and trying (not very successfully!) to keep the house tidy and children fed and watered so I am a bit tired when it comes to opening the lap top!
But it would be great to put some of my recent stuff on here to see what anyone thinks.
I found a stool which just reminded me of a cowboy as it had bow legs so using the picture of the knitted cowboy below as inspiration I cross stitched a wild west scene.
I did this using waste canvas on top of the linen, stitched my design then wet the fabric and pulled out the waste canvas threads - I should have taken photos of the process - next time!

I found this wonderful site for vintage knitting patterns The toys are lovely but there are also great kids and adult clothes. You can buy the patterns online. What lead me here was the cowboy as I have a stool to upholster which has bow legs and looks like a cowboy! So I wanted to do a cowboy related image on the top, watch this space!

new knitted arrivals!

I have made these little childrens bags for days out.

Ragasthan jacket chair

The hand embroidery on this chair was based on a Ragasthan man's jacket - I took elements of the design although the jacket was beautifully intricate.
