As you can probably gather, the body bag is on my mind a lot at the moment. For now I'm just looking, from tomorrow I will be connecting pieces and joining sections together. That means I will have to pleat more muslin and damp stretch a few of the finished silk pieces. I will do that later today, the damp stretching anyway.
I have been feeling a bit ''off'' since Thursday. Sore throat and a little prickly around the face....does that make sense. I was up half the night last night too. I couldn't sleep because of a general ''yuk'' feeling. Consequently the house is only half trimmed for Christmas. I have my main tree up in the dining room. I gave up on the smaller one for the lounge at around 7 pm last night. The lights were spread across the carpet all night, plugged in as we were testing they worked and I have to say....an illuminated carpet is a very pretty thing to behold. If you want to see any of this then it's on my Instagram...
So I hear you say, what on earth has this got to do with embroidery? Well there is a connection, a tenuous one but it's there. Because it's nearly Christmas I'm going to extend my dining table, open it out. I really do know how to live an exciting life don't I? Anyway.......that means I can get my HUGE damp stretching board out and stretch all my lovely silk pieces....see....told you there was an embroidery link here.
