It's still a little upside down here...decorator wise. He has finished, about ten minutes ago so later I must clean and put the house back together. With the spanner in the works that is a disrupted house I have only been able to do the tiniest amount of embroidery, snatching a moment here and there. We have cross stitch and a single hand bound buttonhole. The cross stitch is for my brothers wrapping cloth. (the one in Sweden) The buttonhole was purely meditative......actually, so many people have said that the other ones I made look like lips that it has put me off them. This one is flatter, a little lace in the opening......non lip like I hope.....
Thanks for the input yesterday re the gifts for brothers. Neither brother is aware that they are getting a cloth. I am confident that they never come here so shhhh, don't tell them. There was quite a debate about small pieces for frames....thanks for that suggestion but the white phobic brother....well I want to make him a lap quilt kind of thing. I think he would prefer that too given the option. The minimalist brother is getting the white cloth that I have nearly finished so no problems there.
By my reckoning it will take me a good couple of hours to get my house back to normal. I then have to get ready for class tomorrow but....... after those things are ticked off the list....embroidery here I come!
