My Most Recent Work

Recently I have moved to a retirement village which has taken some doing now that I am much older! However I am still doing embroidery, knitting, crocheting, bobbin lace & needle lace making.
I have a few pieces I have worked recently to post here for you to view. Enjoy!
Since writing the above I have been in the village 10 years & now aged 85! How quickly the time goes!
More Aemilia Ars needlelace which I enjoy doing!
Aemilia Ars Needlelace glass box embroidered with different
designs around box.
Embroidered spool using design from Mary Corbett.

Stumpwork owl about 12cm high worked in various techniques.
A kit from Jenny Adin-Christie’s site.
Embroidered wooden cotton reel using the Stumpwork technique
& one strand of thread.
 This embroidery of the humming birds was a colouring picture from Johanna Basford's book.
It is worked with 1 strand mostly of DMC stranded thread with sequins & beads added. It is a table top for a wine table.
 This picture of the chandelier is worked in DMC rayon thread with Swarovski crystals added for realism. Plus bugle beads for the candles.
 This picture of the two fishes are waiting to be framed. Worked in over-dyed rayon threads with beads added.
 The elephant is a work-in-progress also stitches with rayon threads - some solid colours others over-dyed.
 This is an Irish crocheted shawl which I did recently from a crochet magazine, showing Love Knots & Roses. Lower photo shows the shamrocks around the bottom edge. Worked in lace weight merino/silk yarn.

    Exquisite & such fine embroidery ! Is it all hand embroidered ?
    Mary Corbett ( of Needles and Threads) is also working on the Hummingbird piece & sharing her progress over the past few months.
    Your chandelier & koi fish are also spectacular. The elephant seems to be a festive piece .

BEADING WORK  This is my first go at making ginkgo leaves which I love. The pattern is one from Dianne Fitzgerald's which I have modified to my own mix of beads I had in my stash. The necklace attached to the leaves is one I made a few years ago but was just the right thing to attach the ginkgo leaves to. Currently I am making earrings to match. This is such fun!
