Slow Stitching And Missing Beads
When is a mess a mess-mess?
Hey friend,
The other day I tidied the desk in my wee studio and that lasted for approximately 10 minutes and then I had made another mess!
That mess was actually a tidying up mess, going through various boxes, bags and drawers. So it wasn’t a mess-mess? In my quest to tidy stuff (and find a missing box of beads) I came across these:
A whole bunch of slow stitching pieces in various stages of completion. I’ve put them all in the same spot now and I’ll see if I can actually get them finished, in between other projects. I was really to find them. I had kinda forgotten about some of them. And of course now I want to drop everything and start more slow stitching pieces! But no. Or maybe? No. Finish these first and then maybe. :-)
I did find my missing box of beads. After I thought I had looked Everywhere, I randomly opened a drawer and there was the box. In a safe place, promptly forgotten about. Go figure.
Here is day three of the next page in my 100 Day project (so far). (Join me and get 24 creative stitchy prompts!) I love blackwork. :-)
On a walk with Blake the other day I came across these little flowers. So pretty, but I have no idea what they are. Do you? Some kind of wood anemone, perhaps?
I hope you have a lovely weekend!
