Here you will often find my thoughts of the day, with the occasional vent - but first and foremost this is where I can share my passion for stitching.

First finish for 2007!

Here goes my first finish for 2007 ... this is "Spring Basket" by Beverley McNully from an Inspirations magazine. I started it last night, but didn't get very far before I hit the hay for the night. To say I detest doing French knots is an understatement, but they were pretty simple this time using perle cotton on canvas. It just has to be turned into a pincushion during a future 'finishing session'. Seeing as I don't have any 18" stretcher bars yet, I can't start my Laura J Perin canvaswork design, so this fit in nicely into the canvaswork slot in my rotation in the meantime :D



Now I'm off to put a few more stitches into my focus piece, Egyptian Garden. I had a shock earlier, though, when my phone line died again ... this time it was just offline for about an hour, but if I go missing all of a sudden, that's why!

I've been so busy trying to decide what to start on New Years Day, it never occured to me to pick something to finish on New Years Day! LOL... I bet I can find something that I can finish today. The first thing that comes to mind is my oldest UFO.

That's a really cute piece. I don't hate French knots anymore. It's lazy daisies that are my nemesis.
