Some hot days and a week of horrible headache for me has meant I have stayed quietly indoors in the air con.
I am doing a free Blackwork SAL by The Steady Thread with some of the other girls at Embroidery Guild so I started on my outline. Each week we will get a little botanical picture to put inside. There is a number of different borders available. There is a lot more to do (52 leaf circles) I am using one strand of Cottage Garden thread throughout.
Righto, Gotto Go ....... it's going to be another warm one for us so more gentle hand sewing for me.....
Happy New Year ....... I'm looking forward to another year reading and sharing about the projects we are making....
(I'm excited Hot Cross buns are back in the shops!!!!!)

Great job on the Christmas stockings. As I was reading and slowly scrolling the page down, I saw this pink thing with marshmallow stuff on a stick. It took me a few seconds to realize it's a plant!! Oh! WOW! what an interesting one this is. I am tempted to sew along with the Blackwork party. I looked at her website and I too would choose the leaf one. But do I really have time to do this? Too many fun projects out there, you know. Enjoy the Hot Cross Buns! ;^)
Goodness Me Fiona .. hot cross buns ... easter eggs will be next!!!! Your stockings turned out so lovely - its times like these you wish they had short names 😉 - I always do anyway ... I had to do a stocking for a Clementine once, took forever. Its warm here too so I am indoors by the fan & I shall have to water thoroughly tonight. Happy handwork Fiona xx
Love your first stitchery, that is such a sweet piece. The stockings for the kids are wonderful and a nice surprise for them. The gardens in your area are beautiful. We had snow, now rain, winter will be back next week.
So am I, Fiona!!! I don't know why some folk get so het up about it. Sounds as though you had an enjoyable Christmas.....and like you, I stay inside out of the heat.
