A round up of all the things that I have been making in May -

This week's studio vlog is all about the things that I have been making in May and my attempt to finish a number of projects that have been sitting around almost finished in my works in progress pile.
There is a knitted moss stitch bag made with botanically dyed mini skeins - perfect for stash busting - you can get the 'pattern' here www.snapdragon....
I also talk about my knitted blanket and explain how it is made.
I'm finishing off the travel sewing kit I made to keep my embroidery threads neat and starting a new project of an embroidered dress.

Such an inspiring video Jane. Lots of food for thought. And wonderful makes. Completing things is a challenge for me too. I need to be more intentional.
Thank you so much for sharing your creativity. Hope you had a really lovely weekend. 🌿

All your projects are lovely - you are so talented. The dress will look great when it is finished and it will unique which I think is so much nicer.

[@snapdragonlife]

Thank you so much! I’m really enjoying making the dress. X

[@sezhouse7897]

The travel kit is brilliant - very usefull. The chickens and flowers will make a simple dress much more interesting and fun. I like the idea of setting an intention each month by the moon and reviewing. Mine would have to be finishing things also - I am sorting boxes from a house move. Some things have been in storage so long it is making it easy to sort. But it's not going as fast as I hoped. Bits of paper with 'usefull' quotes, craft projects, recipes and gardening tips are the worst to sort - my bedroom has emptied boxes and piles of paper and books - must finish.

[@snapdragonlife]

I am terrible at sorting and getting rid of things - maybe not a surprise - I am currently working my way through some fabric which was moved into an inaccessible store c. 2010 - so many treasures, so many things I thought that I had lost . . . . so slow!
Good luck! j x

I enjoyed your video and beautiful works very much. Inspirational to me to consider more natural looking sewing projects. I have looked out my Flora Celtica book. The chicken embroideries are fun. It is like being with an inspirational, calm and kind friend.

[@snapdragonlife]

Thank you! Yes I am finding the chickens fun to sew as they are all different. X

[@aprilfletcher2478]

completion has been on my mind as well, my bday was end of April and i always do a mental/physical check in on where i am and want to be in life then.
you’ve reaffirmed it i’m going to dig out some things and finish them off:)

[@snapdragonlife]

Thanks April. I hope that you enjoy digging out all the nearly finished projects. X

Thank you! X

[@jillmundy4121]

So lovely to see these items all together 😊 I quite like having several WIPs on the go actually, and I do get round to finishing most of them. My next knitting project will be a summer jumper using wool purchased from you and dyed with plants in my garden…very exciting!

[@snapdragonlife]

Oh that sounds wonderful Jill - I look forward to seeing it; J x

[@jacquelinejones5790]

Lovely early watch with morning cuppa for me. Can I ask about your lovely tulip table , I’ve been hankering for one. Originals so expensive and not sure about replicas. Hope you don’t mind me asking, JJ

[@snapdragonlife]

Hi Jacqueline. This is an original we bought from my brother’s antique shop about twelve years ago. It was certainly not the price that I have seen more recently - it is very sturdy and heavy though, much weightier than the replicas. J x

[@sheilamesick5964]

Did you make the lovely floral dress you are wearing?

[@snapdragonlife]

No - sadly not - it is by Toast x
