A little stitching

 Fiona, Diane and I stitch together on Wednesday mornings, we are currently working on etui the ones Fiona and I are stitching are for our granddaughters  while Diane plans hers as a gift to a friend. We are using the layout of the Robin etui I stitched some years 



My “Robin from the secret garden”  etui.


Fiona has three granddaughters, and is planning to stitch an etui for each of them here is the progress on her first two.


The theme for this one is  Strawberries  and the next one is ladybirds. Her third one is just started so will share it later.


Diane has a cat theme for her etui


I will share mine one when I do the next update as I have yet to get photos.

Something different



 Jan has asked me to do a photo story book for Ronan’s birthday, we decided to make it the story of some bears who live in a tree house in the forest, she was able to bring plenty of items  for props.

Yesterday I completed a story about the bears going to the beach which will form one chapter in the book.




Setting out car, caravan and boat, off to the beach where Father Bear and Benny Bear will go fishing.












 
I’m pleased how this set of photos for the story worked out
