Day 293 : Mouse

 

Day 293 : Mouse

Can you see it? I didn't at first - I just randomly chose the marks to embroider around. 

One to never be repeated, as the marks that make up the face are the result of eco dyeing - logwood chips if I recall correctly. That something I meant to do again this year and time has just slipped away, if anything work is that bit harder during lockdown and restrictions. I'm still doing paperwork at home (it's easier than moving everything back) but my spare room is going to need some filing space soon.

So - Monday! I hope that yours wasn't too awful.

Day 292 : Stash

 

Day 292 : Stash

More playing with braids and soutache today! This one has more depth than the image shows - I have padded the centre so it it like an odd little hill from the side. Which actually works quite well. 

Mark dug up potatoes and onions today, so it'll probably be soup for lunch this week. 

I hope that you have all had a good weekend - thanks for stopping by!

Day 291 : Aegir

 

Day 291 : Aegir

A watery braid button today. Playing round with shapes last night, it didn't occur to me that the shapes was a bit like a Viking ship until I checked my email this morning! My Viking fosterlings are obviously having an influence on me.

I hope you are all having a good weekend. I'll keep this short, it is Saturday night after all!
