After spending a great day with my niece I arrived home late last night so didn't get any embroidery accomplished for the whole day. Can you imagine that, a whole day without me picking up embroidery? I made up for it earlier today though, a tiny section of seed stitch added to my 'thinking scrap' and captured on video for you. I can also be seen doodling....
Next week I am going to have a much anticipated hermit like existence. My other half and my son are off to Spain on Monday for a 'Stag do'.... (bachelor party). Four whole days of solitude and I can't wait, just me, my locked front door and my embroidery. No meals to cook, (I will snack on cold stuff and drink lots of coffee)...no car journeys to make, no shopping to do...heaven. Much as I love them I feel privileged to be able to lock myself away without a care.....I am counting the minutes.

Hi, Karen. You have plenty of time to make a lot of lovelly things. Enjoy.
I know exactly how you feel, the boys are away for just over a week at the end of the month, and it's the time I shut myself away.
The seeding stitch looks so delicate on here, very pretty
great video. i love that you're using you-tube videos now so i can make it full screen. beautiful piece of work.
What a beautiful, easy way to embellish a cloth! First time I see seed stitches, I'll try them on my work. Yours looks absolutely lovely.
And the part of locking the door and enjoying peaceful creation is very familiar, have a great time!
well, ms woolf knew what it was all about. though i know her story is about a different type of room of one's own, time and room to oneself is vital. it is such a comfort to the soul to find that kind of time. the tiny bits are big.
So pretty once again.
We are ready to head South again beginning tomorrow. I'll be checking in here and still blogging, but may have some lapses in time when we can't get a connection while at sea to come visit you here. I just can't seem to find those Verizon towers out there and the satellite connection is soooo slow most pages time out.
Huge hugs,
Lois
The seed stitching looks so pretty Karen and a good way to fill in little spaces I shall be giving it a try :)

Four days with nothing to do but stitch - I am green with envy!
