My Creative Space

Its amazing what you can achieve when your child goes to bed 2 hours earlier. I cannot believe this whole extra life I have!!
I made this teepee for Busy a while ago but finally finished last week, its in her bedroom. She loves it.
and inspired by Kirstys' embroidery I got out some patterns I ordered from sublime stitching a while ago and got stitchin'.
In my usual wonky style...
I did my first french knots on her little hair clip. In the original pattern she isn't smiling , but I changed that.
.....and gave her some stripey tights instead of long socks.
I do love embroidery, its so quiet and transportable.

    "Oh Cath, Oh Cath"... yes, that's what I kept saying as I read through your post! First at that awesome teepee that I want to crawl into, than at your embroidery. It is so delicate and beautiful and cute and has the perfect amount of wonk! You are very clever.

    Stripy tights are the best. Wish I could get away with them myself...

    The teepee is fantastic! One day when my boys are far too old I'll get around to making one for them....

    Great work & my post was much the same, great project, just not quite finished!! I'm all about crafting with children in bed, ahhh, the quiet hum of the sewing machine. My own little world, well, when they were little, now i miss them!! Tee pees are so much fun, did Busy want to sleep in it tonight?? When my son got a tee pee, he did, so cute, on his sheepskin, very authentic. Love Posie

    Cath, just tell me how you got the kid to sleep two hours early? THAT would be my creative accomplishment for the week, all stitchery notwithstanding! Go, you!

    Awww, she is so cute and I like that she is smiling. Learning to embroider is on the top of my list. But where did I put those hoops...
