Another hour has been spent embroidering the latest pouch. I have added a couple more seams and two applique circles. It was damp stretched overnight and now waits for more attention. I particularly like how it looks hanging over the table....is that strange? I just think it has a softness to it in that image.
Yesterday is best forgotten....I was meant to be painting. I always suffer angst and altered behaviour when faced with a paint brush. I think I am old enough to be over it to be honest and I do severely reprimand myself but it never seems to work. Anyway.....I placed myself on the naughty step for a while, came back, painted and surprise surprise am quite satisfied with the results. I will show you tomorrow. However........don't imagine that the painting scenario will automatically be smoother next time. I hope it is but past experience tells me not to hold my breath on that one.
I pieced cloth too....the best king of therapy. Again, I will show you that tomorrow. I have used the most pretty of handkerchiefs in that one....
Finally, because I am in great need of some caffeine....I am going to close the shop tomorrow. (I'm not closing the shop because I need caffeine...I meant I need to get off the computer!!) Simply Stitch 3 is all there is available anyway. We started a week ago tomorrow and it isn't too late yet to jump in but from tomorrow it will no longer be available.
The shop will be shut until.....who knows......I may list a couple of things for sale before Christmas....otherwise it will be the New Year.
Right...kettle on.....coffee please....see you tomorrow with some (sub standard) painting.
