I’m sorry it’s been a while since I last posted, these last few weeks have flown past in a frantically busy haze. At the end of May the Engineer and I packed our bags and headed off to Majorca for a few days in the sun with family (at the exact same time the heatwave hit here of course!)
We had such a lovely time – Majorca is a beautiful island and, as Rosie said, would you rather have heatwave temperatures here while you’re sitting next to the pool, with aircon at night and a cool drink in your hand, or trying to work at home?! As well as sitting by the pool we were able to see something of the island too which was so interesting and enjoyable. I included the image of my little blue hut (Bustle & Sew HQ) at the end as I hadn’t realised it’s the exact same colour as the Mediterranean sky!
Then home again, to wind and rain and very much cooler temperatures! But this made it easier to begin on my first Christmas design for 2026 which will be included in the July Magazine – a little carol-singing bunny…..
He was so much fun to stitch – though as always the metallic thread was a bit of a pain, but worthwhile as it does add to the sparkly Christmas look. This isn’t the best photo I’m afraid, just a quick snap after I’d finished him.
Printed Panels
I’ve now re-stocked my printed panels over on Etsy – and added Arabella Leveret and Ignatius Fox too…
And to celebrate everything being back in stock – and again to try to keep costs as low as possible – there’s 25% off all printed panels in my Etsy store for the next week. All panels are printed on good quality fabric (I never sell anything I wouldn’t be happy to stitch myself) and come with a detailed downloadable stitching guide.
