Everything stops for embroidery.............

Builders, what builders? Finally they have left, left me with an upside down inside out house. I was going to show you pictures but I decided I didn't want chaos in blogworld, only pleasant things welcome here. To be fair they have done a sterling A1 job, that however didn't stop me wanting to inflict injury on them whilst they were creating mess in places I didn't even know existed. No offence.....but I hope never to clap eyes on them again! I hope they live long, healthy, prosperous lives, just not in the vacinity of my little house. I have boxes to empty, decorators to employ, 'things' to sort out but hey, embroidery, embroidery is the only thing my brain wants to contemplate. ( I will concede to having bought some rather nice hooks to hang my work on, my concession to home improvement thoughts)
After my urge to stitch following my ebay purchases I have been doing a little sampling. I absolutely love these, four little samples that have led to a bigger piece which I hope to show you later in the week.

You can see here that my folding obsession continues. What is it about folded cloth? I even have my eye on a little white cupboard with a pretty glass door in which I can place folded cloth. It will be of no use for anything practical but my folded cloth will look gorgeous. If I give in to temptation and buy it I will definitely show you.

I have worked these pieces on 100% cotton cloth in DMC floss, 2 strands. I have huge amounts of DMC floss, every colour imaginable that I have collected over the years, some given to me and some I bought myself. My phobia of using colour is getting closer to being cured evry day!!

I want to say thankyou to everyone who wished me well when I was under the weather. I really do feel much better now. Holiday's continue for the rest of the week, more embroidery, yay!! Maybe, if I can be persuaded, a little sorting out will also happen..........but don't hold your breath!
