Meet Shamus and A Bit Of Embroidery

 I just love this little fella, my feelings were quite mixed as I started to crochet all the individual parts but once he was assembled I quite fell in love with him he has such a sweet face don't you think.😀


Shamus the seagull will join the rest of the sea creatures that we are creating to decorate our Mariner in early Summer. In the meantime he is sat on my stairs I may make a couple of friends to keep him company, time permitting.

You can find the paid pattern for Shamus here he is called Marvin in the pattern but he looked like a Shamus to me.😂

I have completed the month of February on the Year Of Doodles Stitchery


This is a lovely project, it's nice to pick it up and sew a few stitches now and then. I'm looking forward to starting March and picking out the colours is part of the fun. I'm thinking greens, yellows, purples and pinks probably similar to February, they are my favourite colours after all.

and I started the heart stitchery I showed you last week...


I'm enjoying this too, just taking it nice and slow, I'm going to enjoy sewing this this afternoon and the good news is days are getting longer and because we have more natural light there are more sewing hours to enjoy.

I hope you all have a peaceful Sunday and week ahead, see you next time.😘😘

  10. "How do you do, Shamus. It's lovely to meet you. Why, such a cute face you have." Linda, such a clever artist you are! Your Shamus is the sweetest seagull. He is going to look fabulous hanging out with other friends at the Mariner. Though, of course he looks rather settled sitting on your stairs. =) Love the flower on your embroidered heart and all those teeny embroideries for the month of February are fantastic. I look forward to what your clever fingers stitch for the month of March.

  16. I love the colours on your wheel, I am struggling with mine, I'm not doing much at this time of year. Shamus is great, a friend is suggesting we get together and make a post box topper.

  19. I know what you mean about crocheting amigurumi - and all the pieces parts. And how fun it is when it comes together. Shamus is absolutely adorable. I love his knees! And your latest stitches are pretty. Is the heart stitched in satin stitch? That looks just lovely.

    2. Ah! I had to embiggen it quite a bit to see, but I think I can see the chains. That works very well.
