My creative space…
The weather has well & truly turned in Melbourne. There’s a crispness in the air & I’ve turned my thoughts to keeping warm. I’m mucking around with an old blanket & some Perle 8.
I’m hoping to have something to show by the end of Easter.
There have been a couple of minor hiccups which may foil my plans. I’ve got one kid with the vomits & an over indulge on the download limit which has left me on the go SLOW. I won’t be able to pop around this week but I’ll look forward to catching you all next week.
Visit last week’s favourite space here.
Don’t forget to pop in & add your link if you’re playing along this week.

I love the colour of you thread, I’m sure you have some stunning plan to pretty up that blanket. I hope your little one is well soon and the rest of the family escapes it so that you have lots of creative time over Easter.

Hope the little one gets better soon ~ no fun having the vomits, especially at Easter!

Our limit usually goes about the 15th of every month, but come around the 1st and we are raring to go. I have 14 days now to look at blogs before the wastelands descend. xxNick

I hope it's all better soon, and you get out to enjoy that crisp air.
Perhaps the universe is giving you a little time off the computer…just a little bit of time off LOL.

The weather is changing in Sydney too. Getting slightly cooler and I cannot wait for winter! I just love wearing warm cloths:)
Hope your little one will get better soon!
I loved the pincushion so I am looking forward seeing what are you going to make next!!!
Have a great Easter!

Don't we all just hate download limits? I'm surprised they don't simply send you an email saying "click here to pay an extra ten/twenty/whatever bucks to get yourself back to normal speed for the rest of the month". I'm sure they'd make a motza, and we'd all have the internet speeds we need!

Hope your little one gets better soon Kirsty.
Maybe the download limit situation can be a positive – force you to slow down a bit over the easter hols?
Anyway, have a wonderful break… looking forward to seeing what creative goodness is made from that blue!

The weather has turned here in Auckland too. Perfect for sitting under a blanket and doing something gorgeous with it. Can't wait to see the finished result. Huge sympathies heading your way on the vomit front. There's a bug going around here too and both of mine had it last week. Fingers crossed it is over and done with soon. x

I adore that colour blue and am looking forward to seeing what you do – as always!
And that popcorn pin cushion was seriously awesome stuff. I feel my recipient will be jipped in comparison especially cos it's my first sewing effort.
Happy Easter Kirsty and thanks for being so darn cool!

Ugh we are all fighting snot stuff here. Probably not as bad as vomiting though.
I just found a remnant of wool/cashmere on the table at Tesutti (in Sydney) last weekend and wondered what to use to stitch around it's edge. Is Perle thread the way to go with that?

I'm going to get to some stitching over Easter I think. In fact it may be time to splash out on some new DMC colours. I'm still working through the stash I collected when I was making friendship bands in the 80's.

Hope your little one feels better soon and that you don't all end up with it this long weekend. Awful – vomitty sick is one of the worst.
Good luck with the blanket – you should try to stay off the computer completely since it is going so slow – imagine how much of your blanket you'll get done.
So what are you doing hanging around reading this drivel??? …nick off and get going on your blanket before there is more spew to clean up.

Hope the young one just has a 24 hour thing. While your getting out the blankets, I'm getting out my shorts.
I can remember a long time ago when I was picked as the girl with the prettiest smile, in 7th grade … I got the same feeling when I saw your favorite for last weeks Creative Space ..Thanks!

I just love the effect that Pearl Cottons give to any work, wether it be embroidery or quilting. It's a beautiful shade your using, Anna Maria Horner has just put up a lovely tutorial about it!
Thanks for the inspiration and for finding out it wasn't anything to do with dyeing but pincushions…
