The very clever Fi of MarmaladeRose has had a wonderful idea for her New year resolution. So good in fact, that it has inspired many of us to join along too. We are a little club ( I like being in a little club) called the 20 minuters. It's simplicity is it's beauty. All you have to do is get your craftiness going, for 20 minutes or more everyday. As Fi says " creating creates creativity", and so it does.
So here are my humble 20 minute offerings. I am painfully slow. A little embroidery project to get me going. It's a craft quite new to me, that I'm keen to explore and improve on. This, I am hoping will turn into a trilogy, for my kitchen wall. There are many talented ladies joining in 20's, with a dedicated flikr page too, (which I feel unworthy of uploading to yet). So please pop along and have a look, or better still join us x.

A gorgeous little cottage Bertie and such a lovely idea. I love the fabric you've used and a perfect addition to the kitchen.
Have a fabulous weekend,

What a wonderful idea; the 20 minuters-club :)) i will quickly go and get my crocheting and do for another 20 minutes before i go to bed :) !!
You are making a real little piece of art, so nice.
Groetjes, Janneke.
You are so worthy!
I wish I could stop at 20minutes!

what a nice cottage ,truly inspiring!
I'm in the club too! Lord, not THAT club - the 20 minuters. I love the fact that it seems so achievable (says she who lapsed for two days, but has made up for it this morning with a mammoth knitting binge in bed). Love the cottage and the idea for the trilogy Berie. Have a lovely weekend xx
Lovely cottage Bertie, it'll look lovely hanging up.

Wow! I love the little cottage Bertie. Very spooky, I've just done something very similar, but I can't show it yet as it's a 'new home' card/gift for a friend.
I think it's lovely Bertie. Great idea of the 20 Minuters I'll be off to have a look at that myself.
Wonderful pictures as usual too, just had a little catch up today and you certainly have a talent for capturing life in a photo.
Here's to the next year!
Take care

What pretty beginnings! I'll have to add embroidery to my list of things to take up!
A Lovely idea! and Your embroidered cottage is charming :o)
It's funny I was thinking of starting some embroidery, I don't think I've really done any since I was a little girl.
I have been so busy lately and keep putting of crafting because I don't have the time. But I could at least find 20 minutes. Yes,I think it would be a Wonderful idea to join You.
ThankYou and Marmalade rose for the Inspitation xxx

20 minutes! I am so very impressed. I think I must procrastinate for at least 40. Such a sweet house. I love it.
Hi Bertie - I just wanted to say 'Hi' (having popped over via Little Gem. I love your house embroidery, and may well try one myself (if you don't mind)? xx
Love your little 20 minute projects - such a good idea too! I'm going to try my very best to do at least 20 mins and see what materialises!!
Hello there!
Oh well done you, I do admire people who can commit to this daily dose of creativity - for me its more in fits and bursts (having a little person in the house. I love what you are making, its very pretty.
I think Im going to have to add you to my 'follow' list, so I can come and visit you again.
Much love

Hi, I'm attempting to visit everyone joining in MarmaladeRose's 20-Minutes-A-Day. I love her idea.
I've join your Followers.
Some lovely 20 minute work there:)
I'm blog hopping through all 20 minuters, and some fab inspiration shing through
You did that in 20 mins - impressive! Very cute though - I love it! What a lovely idea...if only I had 20 mins to spare every day...I really should try to find that time! xxx
That looks like a nice pass-time for a snowy month. Good luck with it.
Blessings, Star
Hi, love the embroidery. There is a blog that has lots of embroidery patterns - not mine I must add! You might like to take a quick look.

I shall now go back and explore your blog that I found from a link to a blog called the Quince Tree.
Don't you just love blogland and the way it is possible to wander a lovely country lane of one delicious blog to another?
So pretty, Bertie! I love embroidery so much!
I would say that was more than worthy...gorgeous!!!
I hope my jar will help me get on and do some craft...you have done so well.
Love Lou xxx
Hello there, I nominated you for the sunshine blog award. I received the award and was meant to pass it on to ten of my favourite blogs. I decided to take the opportunity to 'delurk' on eight of the blogs I like but rarely or never comment on, as a chance to say hi and that I think that your blog is really nice!
Thanks for brightening up blogland!
