Happy stitches

 



I have really enjoyed doing sashiko lately, especially in the early hours of the morning, 
with candlelight and a cup of coffee.

The simple stitches, the good contrast between background fabric and the colour of the thread.
I do use Aurifil 12wt.
It has a nice finish and it hold up well when washed.

I love the symbolism of the dragonfly as well.
It stands for happiness, new beginnings, change, transformation,  hope, love. 





The gifting season is getting closer, day by day. 

I am turning this finished sashiko into something useful and pretty 💙
I can not remember what I originally had planned for this fabric.
It is time to put my treasures to good use. 





As well as using my fabrics, I am also using my yarn. 
These socks turned out well 💓

The design is Pathways, by Very Busy Monkey.

💜💜💜

Take care and do more of what makes you happy!
