Well, it’s the weekend and the weather has turned cold again, but at least it stayed dry for the London Marathon which took place this morning. (Sunday)
I wouldn’t call myself a gardener but when the weather warms up and the sun comes out I do like to potter out there.
Sadly, over the years
the grass has turned mostly to moss and in places it’s died completely, leaving
muddy patches, so I made the decision to have the grass re-laid. I’m also having a new awning over my patio, so
I'll have a nice shady spot to sit and stitch when the sun eventually decides to shine.
Anyway, onto the
needlework and in the two weeks since I last posted on here I have had 1
finish, 2 new starts and I’ve worked on 1 wip.
My finish was the first part of my Leap Year Day project, the band sampler from ‘My Stitching Box’ from Jeanette Douglas.
This was such a fun stitch with all of the beading and specialist stitches and I can’t wait to stitch the other pieces of the set.
This weekend I’ve worked on the large yellow 1 over 1 butterfly on the right.
Happy Stitching!
