Embroidery takes place in the evening as the daytime is chaotic. Books strewn everywhere, sketchbooks and samples. When I embroider I like to think I am serene and calm...not during the day....
I am working on some new designs, not necessarily inspired by these 'old' designs but there is a link in terms of presentation and approach.
My new work cannot be revealed yet...it is for my new class, 'an embroiderers ledger' for which mails have yet to be prepared, blurb has yet to be created. I am hoping to make huge strides with that later today but perhaps I should tidy up first.

That would make a good "round Robin" sort of thing.
In the evening I______________.
oooh, sounds interesting
aye, but it's a lovely mess...and interest is peaked and brewing for the yet to be reviewed. cheers.
There's a fine line between being tidy enough to see what you're doing and messy enough to be creative!
What a beautiful way to relax. Yes, much of my needlework is done in the evenings. Such a nice time of the day to pause and reflect while my hands are busy. :)
wonderful to see your idea books
oh!!! embroider's ledger sounds so enticing!
Great pictures from your chaos.
You have my attention!
Looking good
Aha! I am liking the sound of your new class! Also loving the sketches and bits and pieces. I note in particular the nine patch block, which I am of course by now able to deconstruct within .1 of a second of first sighting!
I just had to add, though... FRAGRANT. I always understood that when you stitch you are 'serene and fragrant'.
