Today has been the perfect weather for being lazy and having a ‘crafty’ day – I spent a few hours making some more scissor fobs and working on my stitching rotation while watching Season 1 of Buffy (I’m new to Buffy – my flatmate left me the whole series to watch while she’s away, bless her). The weather has been shocking all weekend, with wind and rain present for prety much the entire long weekend, but it brought out some lovely rainbows in the late afternoon today 🙂
Stitching-wise I finished my first rotation slot by completing 4 sections of Boo Club – these are sections 5-8 … unfortunately I still haven’t put my hands on my little camera that I use for all my macro/stitching work, so the photos are really bad (not to mention they’re taken at night) – the colours in these one are WAY different to the piece in real life. With any luck I’ll find my camera before I finish it all … I’m really missing my little Lumix!!
After I put Boo Club away, I managed to put a few more stitches into my Acorn Needlebook by Periwinkle Promises, finishing the main piece of stitching. This was put on hold originally because I ran out of the dark green silk in the kit. I did find, however, that the new skein of silk that finally arrived is a totally different colour to that that was in the kit … the needlebook is for me, so I just stitched it in the ‘odd’ colour – I can tell the difference, but it’ll be fine. I then stitched up the three pieces that will be the needle pages – I just have the pincushion left to be stitched, then it’s time to put it all together I guess (once again, sorry for the dreadful photos).
Not sure how much more stitching I’ll get done this week – I guess time will tell …
Love the Acorn Needlebook. A beautiful double rainbow. Haven’t seen one of those for a while over here.
Your stitching looks great.
Great progress on Boo!
Love the acorn piece you’re doing…can’t wait to see it finished :o)
Boo Club looks great Anne! Love your needlebook too! Makes me want to start it myself!
Awesome pics of the rainbows!
Looks like you are making some fabulous stitchy progress 🙂
Buffy & stitching-perfect combination! And all your stitching looks great, too.
Great start on Boo Club – it’s a fun piece to stitch, isn’t it. Wonderful shots of the rainbows, and the acorn needlebook is… wow!
“Boo club” – LOL!! How cute is that! ‘Dreadful photos’ says she. Dreadful or not, they can’t hide your sensational stitching.
Congrats on all the wonderful stitching progress!!!
