I have to go to Scotland for two days tomorrow, back on sunday. I don't know how I am going to cope without access to my computer, the withdrawals have started already! One advantage, I am going to Carlisle at some point in the trip. It will be good to see how the place has changed, if it has. I met my husband there, got married there and had my first baby there, so lots of memories. Thanks for bearing with me with this work, Now I have to make progress with my cloth, find something else to post next time (I really don't want to bore you all with continuous images of damp stretching text), a piece of cake eh!

Hi Karen! As always I'm so inspired by your work - it's so beautiful! I'm back home after being with my beautiful grandson - I highly recommend grandmotherhood by the way! He is so, so cute! Have a wonderful trip to Scotland -computer withdrawals are sometimes a good thing! Nan
well done! embroidery is so time consuming - one reason why non-embroiderers dont have a real appreciation of it, i think.I love what you have done here
your work is

You could always post about the award I've just tagged you for! (sorry).
Hope you've had a lovely break. I really like these smaller scale pieces, you haven't skimped on the variety of texture, colour, shape at all have you? Brilliant!
I like your approach to embroidery so much. I spent lots of time this week visiting your blog and Flickr album. You gave me an idea of using pieces of the tons of old emboidered napkins I have in my work. I already tried felting some for a pincushion piece I'm making for me after the one I did for the swap. But your approach is really unique! all that white and using silk!
You do such beautiful work! I sympathize with how you feel, as I often feel the same way. Hope you had a lovely trip!
Love those fringe things that look like a row of long button loops. VERY pretty.. I have never seen that before. So original.
Hope you took some pictures in Scotland to share with us when you get back. :)
