Hi everyone, so I think that I am finally back on track with everything and have made a little (very little) progress on my little mouse design by Jenny McWhinney. This is where I was up to last time …..
And this is where I am up to now……………..
As you can see I have added the little blue birds and made a start on the bullion roses. Bullion knot is not my favourite stitch and I have been putting it off for a while!
Many thanks for popping in and look forward to catching up in three weeks time.
Happy stitching.

I know what you mean about bullion stitch, definitely a love/hate relationship! Lovely bluebird, this piece is so pretty.
thank you, he is sweet.
lovely progress there, Deborah!
Thank you Claire.
Oh I love that little blue bird! Your bulliion roses are beautiful. Frankly they intimidate me.
I am struggling with them too!
You’re brave to tackle those roses. What a beautiful result!
Thank you – not my favourite stitch.
Your satin stitch is fabulous! The bluebird looks so sweet!
Thank you Kathy
I agree about bullion knots, but the roses are looking so charming that it was worth the effort!
I hope so – but there do seem to be a lot!
what a ‘tweet’ bird and those tiny roses are beautiful 🙂
Thank you Sharon
The little mouse’s smile seems even wider now she has the bird to look at. I have only done the odd bullion knots but each time I struggle wiwth them, they are certainly not an easy stitch, so well done as yours are very neat. x
Just don’t look to closely – they are rather fiddly.
