I have been pinning snippets of my lace cloth to white silk. They look like tiny little parcels of air...light and fluffy. I embroidered a strip of cross stitch along the silk first. That was damp stretched last night. It gives me an anchor for placement, a reference point. These will be attached with embroidery, the tops left open in the manner of a pocket. I am determined to have a pocket in my life before the ''big pocket adventure'' begins in August. (in case you missed it, I am making a HUGE pocket during simply stitch 2) Once that thought had been spoken it quickly became an obsession that will be satisfied by this piece...let's hope.
I can't go without mentioning the weather....indulge me. I know that other parts of the world have it much hotter than us...I know, I know. But it really is very hot here. We have just this morning been put under a critical health warning. We are pasty Brits, we can't help it AND we don't have air con...we don't. I'm not too bothered in daylight hours, doors and windows open but a girls got to sleep...enough already. AND I am drinking so much water that I am spending most of the day in the bathroom.....without embroidery.....come on, give a girl a break.
