'Long Lugs' is finished.

Here is the first one finished! My head is just bursting with ideas for more, and I'm already beginning on the next.

Ginger Miu thinks this sewing lark is a great idea. It's so much more comfortable to sit on a piece of embroidery than on a wet painting.

A New Year and a Full Moon

Happy New Year to all! I hope you've all had a lovely Christmas break - we certainly have. Feasting and Family, walking and reading ( and a few days of rather scary ice!)
I haven't picked up a pencil at all, but instead I picked up my needles and thread, and began work on my textile interpretation of 'Long Lugs'. I am SO enjoying this, and envisage making it over and over again, in many variations! It's been quite a while since I did any serious creative sewing, so I thought I'd treat these as samplers, reminding myself of different techniques and stitches. It's so much nicer to sit by the fire sewing of an evening than to be out in my studio painting!
