There's something about this cross stitch that reminds me of my new home. Its hanging on the wall in my craft room at the moment and I'm coming up with a longer term solution that doesn't look too twee!
I've decided to update my look at least in blog terms. Crafty mermaid just doesn't feel 'me' any more. I've set up a new blog and look forward to seeing you there! https://sewmancer.blogspot.com/
Gemma from Sixty Six Stitches started off a rather revealing tour of the Wellington Sewing Bloggers Network sewing rooms. I was far too intrigued not to join in.

It was so wonderful to be surrounded by talented ladies when embarking on a new (and slightly terrifying) project. On the advice of the lovely fabric hoarders, I waited and interfaced the check fabric. It did mean some hairy moments with a lot of fabric to manipulate at times! This jacket is the make I'm most proud of since I started sewing. I really love it. The only downside is there isn't pockets. I'm really not sure why they
