Oh my life the heat, had my air-con on 24/7 in my craft/bedroom since last Friday! I managed a couple of nights sleep after that but it's all gone haywire again!
Needless to say I haven't been up to much other than the embroidery.
I have joined another length of backing material and keep it all rolled up and safety pinned whilst working on it.
I have been giving a go at the lesser known stitches in my little "vintage" book, plus some I have found on-line. I have fallen in love with the lazy daisy with the integral french knot - how cool is that! (blue arrow)
There's also the long french knot (2 to left of above) Certainly easier than the knotted buttonhole/blanket stitch over on the right.
The bluey green thread is a line of different buttonhole stitches. Particularly like the Up and Down buttonhole stitch.
So my embroidery is now 1 metre 20cm and I have no idea when I will stop.
I added some Broidery Anglais edging where the backing material became too narrow before I joined the next one, really enjoying doing as I please with this project.
Here's what I have done since last week.
And if I hadn't had enough of embroidery I did make a green heart for my denim book like the one I showed a few weeks ago which I gave to my friend.
I did do a quick watercolour butterfly
Remembering my Dad last Thursday. Saw it on a FB reel and just had to have a go. It was a bit of mindless doing which served its purpose well.
Happy WOYWW Everyone.
