Pretty embroidery :) a little goes a long way

Hi guys :)
Have you had a nice week so far? Mine hasn't been too bad, i've suddenly become obsessed with embroidery! I used to do it years ago but it got forgotten about but now i am bringing it back! :)

Remember the table i found? Well, i found a pretty big flannel cot blanket in our local charity shop for 99p! They had an actual tablecloth but it was £2.99 and i only had £1 on me so i went for the cheaper option ;)
It turns out a little goes a long way!
I made and embroidered the table cloth

A lovely little "favourite things" bag to take my crochet along to my knit and natter group
 A little peg bag :) Isn't she sweet? The old one flew away in the wind
(Taking the flaming pegs with it too! So no washing for me until Monday,when i get more)

And finally, i'm starting a new wall hanging, using this lovely little design called "Sunbonnet Sue", it's going to have all the months of the year on it, i'm so looking forward to making it :)

i shall be doing lots more in between though, I've been looking at almost everything in the house thinking "oooh can i embroider that?"




Of course, no blog post would be complete without pictures of lovely Marie (pain in the royal backside now she is starting to come out of her shell)
She has claimed my new work basket as a bed

Waiting politely for her tea


I can't believe i forgot to show you these! We got them a few weeks ago from a lovely lady off freecycle :) aren't they divine? The first one is a rocker:
The second one is normal, i'm currently re upholstering them with patchwork fabric, but the more i look at them, the more i think it might just be best to keep them as they are but make new covers instea? and some embroidered cushions? haha
What do you think?
