Hi all, well I promised myself some time to work on my Blue Wren Etui by Jenny Adin Christie and so spent the whole day on a piece of needle lace which will be turned into a fungus that sits around the hole where a pair of scissors will live.
Unfortunately it doesn’t look like very much, so I hope you are not too disappointed!
Ooh, while you are here – I have been gifted some cross stitch kits and to be quite honest I do not have the patience for them. I do know that some of you ladies enjoy cross stitching and wondered if anyone was interested in them. Please let me know if you would like them.
Many thanks for popping in and look forward to catching up in three weeks time.
Happy stitching.

lol how can you do such exquisite embroidery, gold work and such, and not have the patience for cross stitch? is it too straight forward and not complicated enough for you?
I know, it is daft isn’t it? I just get lost in all those little stitches and in a complete muddle!
That looks like a lot of intricate needlework to me 🙂
It is just such a lot of time and so little progress appears to have been made!
That bit of green moves you one step closer to your finish!
Small baby steps!
That looks like a lot of work to me, beautifully stitched as usual 🙂
Thank you. Just very ‘green’ and tiny for the time spent on it!
Having worked pieces like this – it does look like several hours work. And it’s beautifully neat and consistent – well done!
Thank you
Beautiful work as usual – I would have thought cross stitch would be right up your street.
No, I just get so lost in trying to count the little stitches and always, without fail, make a silly mistake!
I think that’s excellent progress. I’m betting that was very time intensive.
Very, took me all day would you believe!
Seeing your earlier work, I guess this is gonna turn out great! Looking forward to see the progress! I´m always interested in cross stitched project, but maybe sending them to Sweden isn´t the most optional thing to do 🙂
I honestly wouldn’t mind. Otherwise they will end up in the bin. I have a robin and a butterfly. So if you would like them, let me know.
Your work fascinates me, I would not have a clue where to begin with this sort of thing. xx
Honestly the instructions are very easy to follow!
Every step of each of your projects is astounding to me — stitching like I have never even thought of, let alone seen. Thank you for sharing them with us!
Very kind of you, but I only follow the instructions. Just wish I could originate the ideas!
I look with admiration … how much work of patience …
Hugs, Carmela
Thank you Carmela
