Silk shading progress

Luna phase 1

This is lesson 2 of my diploma in technical hand embroidery with the Royal School of Needlework. I’m trying to get as far as her chin for next time.

This week I’ve had a lovely parcel from coolcrafting, lots of lovely things to cheer me up, now it’s my day off.

I decided to try the Luna Lapin quarterly subscription box, lots of lovely things inside

Decisions decisions!!! What do you make next.

Happy Holidays

Before it gets busy I thought I would wish everyone a very Merry Christmas & happy new year 🥳

Felt Angel Stocking

I have finally finished my kit, it was started before the new Millennium, when I was visiting by Mum & Dad in Atlanta. Mum took me to Michaels for the first time, being from the UK I had never seen large craft stores on this scale. I got this in their Christmas in July event, again something I hadn’t seen before. I think that is why I remember where & when it arrived in my stash, it’s good to see it finally finished.

Now what next …. something new or something from the stash??🤔

White work samples

Recently I’ve been practicing my white work skills in preparation for my next large piece of embroidery.

White Work Butterfly
