I am trying to put together a little something as a suprise for someone who shall remain nameless. The cutwork and text is the same as I have in the crazy patchwork piece, that's because I know they really like that combination. Instead of doing applique flowers though I have decided to add some transfer printed cutwork to give it another dimension.
None of this has been damp stretched yet, apart from the text, so there is still some way to go.
I have also been really lucky in the past couple of weeks. Three awards have found their way to my little blog. Now you know what I am like with awards and passing them on, so I am going to trawl blogworld sometime in the next few days to compose a list of new and exciting blogs and they will get a mention in honour of my awards. I am however going to mention the kind and generous ladies who gave me the awards. Miss 376 and Marty 52. Many, many, many thanks!!

Early days yet with work. Maybe after a couple of weeks things will begin to fall into place. We've seen some sun today which is a welcome sight after yesterday
Organizationally-forget housework until half term, apart from the absolute essentials like kitchen,clean clothes and toilets. Food shop on line-quicker, more environmentally friendly. Limit yourself when preparing lessons-otherwise it takes ALL your time . And the night hours too. Keep chanting "It's only a job" even when it tries to be more than that.INSIST on making time to do Your things.
I never tire of that lovely white silk work.
Hi Karen, it amazes me that you have been able to do your silk work as well as going to work and living the normal life! I think the answer is finding the little scraps of time available and using them for embroidery. This means you can never put the work aside, it must be there ready to be continued.
Good advice from the others so won't add anymore... love these bits!
Hi Karen, My time is in the evening, I can get quite carried away stitching and then before I know it it's midnight!
I think some times house work just has to wait as threadspider says.
I find your blog so calm with your shades of white, beautiful.
Lovely! The blue looks just great with the white.
I am impressed that you have done so much with just starting a new job!
Hi Karen. Just found your blog and really enjoying it. Will definitely be back. I'm not generally a fan of crazy patchwork, but your white on white take on the technique has me thinking of it in a whole new light...
