I managed to get some stitching done at the weekend. Firstly I have completed the stitching on the roof for my cottage, tonight I will lace it around the plastic canvas and attach to the walls!! This looks the trickest bit as the roof has to overhang so attaching it will be awkward. I will hopefully show the end result on my next posting.
I also worked on Mom's rose and that is almost done, just a bit more around the leaves, again I'll show this next time.
What I did finally finish stitching is the individual placecards for Christmas dinner! I just have to back them on cards now. I want to do the table runner and napkins for next year..... but not just yet! I used a red varigated thread which I think looks nice.
This week I will work on what I feel like..... I think Lest We Forget may come out again and Dusky Dreams.... who knows.
