Stitch By Stitch

Time for an update on my current series of work I think. I would have liked to have more to show but I'm at the stage of doing hand embroidery and it does take time. I've completed the first piece and had to overcome my frustration at the slow progress to change down a few gears and appreciate the simple pleasure of sewing with a needle and thread. As well as time it takes a fair amount of patience, both of which seem to be in short supply, but I managed to find some, and I now have the first in a series of 8 done. No idea when the others will be done but I'll be sure to post progress.

Sleeping and Crows #1

The original inspiration for this series was books, storytelling and the worlds that those stories take us to so this feels like the perfect time of year to be absorbing myself in this project. For me the cold dark nights are all about cosying up with blankets, warm drinks and books, books, books. Perfect.
