Lots of new stuff!

Well it's been a busy day! My website is now up and running again with a few changes. Visit http://www.sarahhomfray.com/ to enter my world of embroidery. You can see a gallery of my work, open up my latest newsletter and see items for sale on my Etsy site as well as accessing this blog.

There are a few tweaks to make and I will be working on the shop and adding more pages in the next few weeks so pop back to see the changes.

My 'Critters on Canvas' project is now available in the latest issue of 'Stitch' magazine, and it made the front cover! I'm very pleased with how it looks and hope anyone that wants to have a go at the project will have great fun doing it. Buy the magazine from good stationers or craft stores.

Just can't help it...

...buying beads that is. Went to the stitching show at Olympia last weekend, and it goes without saying that I will come back with beads, I just can't help myself. I'm not a mad beader, I just like to get them out of their box every now again, shake the containers, run them through my fingers, hold them up to the light, plan lots of things to do with them in my head then put them away again. Having a box full of beads is akin to having a treasure trest. These millefiori beads are the latest addition to my hoard...

Not much spare time?

Have a go at inchies! I first heard about these from a good friend of mine and with half an hour to spare one day I thought I would make a few of my own. The principal is simple, a piece of work that measures an inch square. I made 3 felt inchies...

It's a good way of trying out small samples, using up scraps and making something quick and it would be interesting to see how much detail you could get into one of these although I'm a little mystified what you do with them when they are finished! I guess they might look good as a set framed in a box frame but then you might as well do a larger piece...
