I went on a course last week
and I learnt a few things
well a lot actually...
so much easier than trying to teach myself from a book!
The 'Stitchin' day was based around the work of Léa Stansal
(traslation available)
now I find myself staying up all hours of the night...
watching mindless TV and stitching
like I need this in my schedule right now
kid's summer hols just around the corner...

just gorgeous M! you have far more patience than I! there is no way I could create something this beautiful, I get far too wiggy!!
This is gorgeous. I love what you are stitching. I SO wish I could grip a needle. It's really lovely and so very well done. All your stitches are so precise.
BTW, I was by earlier to leave a comment on your postcards, but I wasn't able to log into blogger, so was unable to leave you a message since you don't allow anonymous comments.
Just wanted to say, I really enjoyed both these postcards, especially the black and white one.
I have a soft spot for embroidery so enjoyed very much seeing your beautiful stitching.
Wowser those flowers look complicated to do but they are just fabulously pretty. Get the kids winding balls of thread for you over the holidays, they'll be overjoyed with that suggestion no doubt :-)
Hopefully you get the chance to keep up with the sewing over the next few months so you don't forget any of it!

Stitching and knitting- that's what I do in front of the TV.
I had to stop unpacking and come see what the girls were talking about!!!! I live these! You are a FAST learner! I feel another swap coming on!!!!
So beautiful! Love the white petals. Is that ribbon?
your stitching is beautiful. i'm fascinated with the little pedals.
Very cool dimension and love those colours.
Absolutely gorgeous! I would much rather see a technique than try to read about it or follow a pattern. Hope your week is great. Tammy
