my table

We have lovely winter sunshine today. Good for photographs, allegedly. Some of these look as if they are taken in black and white, they're not, it's the glaring light causing shadows. Anyway, hello! It's been a long time, seems like forever. Sorry about that, going out to work really gets in the way. Not to worry though, I am now on holiday until 22nd february and hope to get loads of stuff done! I thought I would show you how my table looks at the moment. This is where my family try to eat, it's a major moving exercise at meal times. Do you notice the damp stretching going on at the edge of this first picture? I am going to keep you waiting for more of that because I'd like to do more to it before showing it to the world.

This is another work in progress, not even a tenth of this is finished yet. I aim to do more applique on here, some hand embroidery on top of that, then hopefully if it all comes together pockets will be involved again. It's also going to be big, well long, around 45 inches. Not much sleep going on around here for a while then!

My main problem at the moment though is this, my french knot piece. I am so in love with this piece of work that I can't put it down. I really must be more disciplined because the plan was to give each ongoing piece of work 2 days each, a kind of rota system. I haven't put this one down for FIVE days. Tonight's the night, I really will put it down and work on something else.

So half term is here, well for us part timers it is, I am so excited, embroidery, embroidery and more embroidery. I will strain myself and fit in maybe 20 minutes of housework, no more though as I will be wearing my goggles so I can't see the muck! Happy days!
