Small steps forward

P1040294Not much going on in my corner of the woods, except a thread of stitchery or a thread of knitting, here and there.
The sixth stitchery block for My Garden is done - 3 more to go.

P1040298Inspired by May Britt I have started to frame my blocks too, plus adding the applique :-)

P1040302I might take off some of the green fabric - did not succeed to well with the placement - I can see it now. I think I will leave it on for now, and sleep on it.

I have been knitting a little too, and I love this pattern. I got it as a surprise gift from Ellen, together with lovely white wool. Thank you Ellen!

I did buy this brown bamboo yarn in Canada last year.
As much as I love this colour, I do not love bamboo yarn though - it feels dead, if you know what I mean ?
I have been told it is nice to wear, so I will give it a chance, but I will most likely not buy more of it.

I hope you have had a good Sunday too :-)

  9. Your stitcheries turn out well. Some of them look a little bit like a guessing game without the appliques yet. :o)
    And I love all the colors you used for framing including the greens. :o)
