My mantra for 2019 is ‘focus’. Focus on the main game, which is for me is visual art. I’m battling though, mostly because I have ‘tennis elbow’ and a torn tendon of my dominant arm.
So once again needlework has been my primary creative outlet, this time because for some reason it hurts less than drawing or painting…
I have been attending a small painting group which has helped me to at least attempt a work in ink – a work in progress.
Here are some pics of my creations in the past month or so. Next time there will be a work of art to show – there will, there will…

For Maren Due On Australia Day
My great niece was due on Australia Day which explains my choice of colours! She was born in England more than a week late but healthy. 😊
Going With The Flow
I decided I needed an embroidery travel case. I just started stitching on a remnant and did whatever came into my head. I wish I could paint that way!
Then I decided I needed a lightweight travel wallet! Made with scraps and a zip in my stash.

I made more items but you can have too much of a good thing, can’t you?!

Hi Helen,
Your embroidery is fabulous!
It reminds me of Freeform Crochet. I have just written a book called ‘ Latch Hook Crochet for Beginners’ .
I find it a successful way of teaching children, however I think it may also benefit those who are older and have difficulty with fine motor control.
I would love to find out if this is the case. Please let me know if you are interested.

Thanks for your compliment Roz. Crochet is a hobby of mine which is on hold for now but I hope I’ll be able to continue with a normal hook when my elbow is better.
You will!
