Here I aim to keep a record of my projects during 2025.
Not something I've been good at recently.
I am working on Anne Brooke's 52 Words and What's Sewing on.
The first word was Layer and it is being demonstrated in an 18 inch hoop.
I'm sewing on fifty two 3 1/2 inch blocks to see how it goes.
So far I have these.
With more to be added in future weeks.
' What's Sewing on ' I will show after we start this week.
The snow and lack of sun has made it hard to get the shades of blue correct.
A busy day volunteering at my local library.
Story and rhyme with the little ones this morning.
Changing the displays from Christmas to winter.
Plus a pneumonia jab at the medical centre this afternoon.
Tired this evening so just pinning some autumn bunting.
Oh dear, the colours are rubbish. I'll try to improve it tomorrow.
The heavy rain all day has made it dark and miserable.

Hello, a new year with a chance to improve in so many ways.
Regular blogging, I'll try.
More photos, I need to take more and use some of the features on my camera.
Continue with my healthier eating, much better last year.
Make more effort to improve my fitness.
I did get a chance to sew today.
A simple notebook cover, for a winter display at my local little library.
I forgot to post a picture of my finished knitting bag.
I have been crafting since my last post months ago.
Just dipping in and out.
I decided to get my Sashiko supplies out.
It is years since I did a short course with Susan Briscoe at a Quilters Guild conference.
I'm not sure if the photos will look clear or distorted.
The pretend fabric, I added stitching to, is for a rice bag that I making from directions from The Quilt Show.
Well after feeling rubbish for most of December I then started coughing and sneezing again on Christmas day.
Now I'm feeling better but not much sewing has happened, I've knitted socks in stead.
Today I have been sewing the stems down ready for the flowers, which might be attached later today.
I did get a load of washing done and a pile of ironing this morning finished.
A walk in the drizzly rain this afternoon, it looks like it's here for the rest of the day.
I hope everyone who wanted to sew has had the chance to.
Happy new year and happy sewing.

Not such a good day, horrible sore throat and swollen glands.
Instead of sewing I've been aran knitting, easier to do when I can't concentrate.
I had planned on stitching some of the stems down.
Ah well, perhaps tomorrow.
Yet more football on tv tonight,
I will look at other blogs instead to see what everyone's doing.
Happy sewing
Josie
