A little gift

 It’s good to be back stitching again, yes needle and thread does make my day complete. 

I’ve just finished a small gift for a special friends birthday this week, we both share the love of fine linen and count thread work,  The scissor fob was stitched on 40 count Permin linen using DMC perle 12 thread, plus a little gold thread to highlight the design.

I’m here

  Several weeks and no posts! On march the 1st I had a fall and broke my hip, two weeks in hospital followed and then slow progress at home with lots of support from family and caregivers, I am now feeling more mobile . And in the last few days have taken up my needle again and am busy stitching a special piece which I will share with you in my next post.

As a result of the fall changes were made specially in the living room where a large coffee table sat in front on my chair and had everything I needed on it, that’s gone to make it easier for me on crutches to move but finding where everything was packed away is a task ahead of me…. Today I want just the simplest item a cord weight but where is it…… Caitlin is coming in shortly hopefully will find it and I can proceed with the project in hand.

Kaytu who is far from happy about the crutches approves the walker.
