It's sunny inside and out today, bright colours and bright images for a change!! The first of the final two pieces for my throw, not finished yet but worked on last night. The corner where this will fit needed colour to balance the whole throw and yes, it is precise and measured...I'm begining to like that method it makes life a lot easier. Before you start thinking I am a workaholic and sat and made seperate little rouleau loops, co-ordinated and everything I should fess up...these are left overs from other sections, the ''never throw anything away'' mentality pays off sometimes!!






and now for something completely different and way off tangent I might add...if you are squeamish then look away now....I debated putting this on here for a long time, oh o.k. then 30 seconds. As my mum will confirm I have never been one to suffer in silence and I have a huge need to share so I give you my hand..my painful abused hand. Top pic a cut in my index finger, (very, very sore) and two other pics of burns, off the oven, yes, me and domesticity don't go together at all. I realise these are a bit yellow. Take it from me that this is more to do with the light than me being jaundiced or having some hideous blood disorder. As far as I know my skin colour is normal and these may mislead slightly but you get the picture....pain and suffering...

now then, sorry about that...back to embroidery. I bet you thought you had stumbled upon some wierd medical blog for a minute then! I am now compiling a huge pile of FAQ's, some from way back and some new ones. Actually, if they are new then they can't really be FAQ's can they? Who cares, I will include them anyway. The other thing, the one that I can't mention is proving to be a bit of a challenge. As you know though I don't like to be beaten so I am persevering.
