Blissful weekend stitching!
Four pieces ready to quilt and bind - Since the
Love Nest I'm enjoying quilting as a way to finish my embroideries so I'm trying to make it work on these new pieces - tricky tricky!
I have been in french knot heaven with this piece. It reminds me of my Grandma. As a young girl in the 1930's she worked as a tambour beader for a company on Oxford Street - stitching thousands and thousands of tiny glass beads onto debutantes' dresses!
I tidied the workroom in December. I'm quite sure that's why I achieved nothing in January. Happily it is now looking rather like a whirlwind hit a textile mill and working has become much easier! Is it only me who finds that tidiness stultifies creativity? t.x

I love to have all my stuff sprawled out over the table. You never know what might catch your eye to add to something that wouldn't have otherwise! Of course as I only have the dining table to work on it is never tidy when my stuff is on it :-S

Such lovely detailed work....really pretty!

Gorgeous!
Your Grandma must have been incredibly patient! ;-)
They look great. What patience your grandmother must have had. I'm afraid I'm a tidy freak, I feel "out of control" when things aren't tidy but we all have different ways of working so whatever works for you and inspires you is cool!

I know exactly what you mean about tidiness stifling creativity! I have to have lots of 'things' around............

Just found your blog and been enjoying your stitching. Reading your post of 25th February, I think I have found a kindred spirit.
so beautiful
I once mentioned to my son that his room was in a mess..... "Ah, but it's CREATIVE mess" was the retort......... Me? I go with that theory.... lovely work as always, by the way. x
Cheers hun for popping in....room for a little at the bottom of your garden?:>))
xxxx
ah yes! one persons chaos is anothers filing system!
your embroideries look very similar to my stitchings...but your 'sea' is making me nervous and making me want to double check my daughters duvet cover is still on her bed!
is it a commision? i had to do one once for a isabella francesca margaret! the frame was about 3 foot long! the grandparents paid though...not me!
You have been busy! Your chair turned out beautifully, and I can't wait to see these embroideries when they are complete. And - I am drooling over those pancakes!
I also wanted to thank you for popping by my blog and adding your kind comment. Just thinking about "a cuppa" and cake (I've seen photos of your cakes!) cheered me up.
loving your work your very good!! i love to get all my goodies out but then end up putting them away having achieved nothing really but i need to see everything around me for inspiration!

Gorgeous work, it looks so bright and cheery too. I can never work in a tidy room, I use the excuse that I can never find anything if it's too tidy ...

Such pretty work.. can't wait to see more. I always work in a mess, and then get really cross with myself when I can't find anything!x
Do I spy some beach huts? Surely one of the best types of buildings in the world! Lovely colours, textiles and stitching. Really yummy to look at x

I love old sewing bits.....I always think what a story they must have to tell!
I have a rubber thimble...I use that for sorting thru paper work...saves licking my finger!
LOL!
It was such an interesting shop...full of goodies, but out of my price range!

How lovely these recent pieces are, so summertime chic in a sweetshop palette. Obviously untidiness is condusive to your creativity so please keep it that way. Just keep anything superfluous out of the photo's and no-one need ever know.
Awww, thanks for the kind words about my latest painting, I can't resist spotty jugs of any colour combination. Loving your little appliqued boat, bye for now x
Hi there,
I enjoyed your comment on cleaning over at my blog - and indeed, yes, my daughter has been caught sporting the ostrich feather duster as hair extensions... You are quite right, they're wasted on dusting....
Will also enjoy looking at your blog... Another beach lover, I see.
Seaside living gets under your skin, doesn't it? I'd find it hard to live far from the sea now.
