Ok, while I've been off in the real world this is what's been happening. Various events have occured including discovering I'm anemic, my sciatica rearing its ugly head again and my birthday happpening, so some good, some bad.
Birthday was very fun. There was presents, going out for lunch and some shopping.Mark bought me these flowers.
I found this pewter teapot, sugar bowl and milk jug in the local charity shop for £5 (roughly $8 - $10ish US dollars i think). They were made between 1912 and 1919 and are made by 'Period Pewter'.
I finished my bag for Jo in NZ . These are her photos as I forgot to take any. I hope she doesn't mind me using them.
I was worried she wouldn't like it but apparently she adores it.
I got a parcel from Shay and made these with the ribbon she sent me. Its a sheath for my embroidery scissors. Its made with purple cotton and is lined with felt.
On this side are woven spiderweb roses, straight stitch rose buds and lazy daisy leaves
This is an Iris made of lazy daisy and twisted leaf stitch, accented with fern stitch and some straight stitch star flowers. All thread is green perle cotton.
This is it with my scissors. I made it large enough that there is enough space for the scissors and for it to go in my bag without the scissors getting caught on things.
