Enjoying a sense of peace one stitch at a time
I managed to complete some stitching today – here is my latest finish (my photography tonight was appalling, so I placed this one on the scanner):
“Halloween Roll” by Shepherd’s Bush
using kit fabric and threads (Tobacco linen and DMC)
Then I made a start on a Christmas ornament by The Victoria Sampler – with any luck this one won’t take too long to finish.
Stitching has been very cathartic for me today! 🙂
After having one whole half week of feeling fantastic and over my viral bugs, on Saturday morning I woke up with a sore throat, and have been a snot factory for the last 48 hours yet again … too much information, I know … fingers crossed this round won’t hang around for quite so long! Having a ‘cold’ for the last 6 whole weeks was just a teensy tiny bit too much, especially when two of those ended up being without pay 😦
Anyway, over the last week or two I’ve been sitting and stitching a few tiny projects, and here are the results:
First up a freebie from IHLE-Design, stitched in a DMC variegated floss:
Then a wee freebie from My Aunt’s Attic, stitched in a Carrie’s Threads floss:
Afterwards, in need to something else to stitch, I decided to finish off a Christmas ornament that I started when visiting Mum in Auckland back in April:
“Christmas Cheer” by Heart in Hand Needleart
Next up this weekend was Folk Heart Needleroll by Shepherd’s Bush:
“Folk Heart Needleroll” by Shepherd’s Bush
And lucky last, Ice Blue Snowflake ornament by Mill Hill:
“Ice Blue Snowflake” by Mill Hill
Long weekends are great, especially when you sit up in bed all day with the sniffles!! 😀
