It’s been a while since I last shared photos of my garden. 
I still have plants needing a home. My back garden is an L shape, I’m trying for a jungle look.

Twirls & Swirls: Beaded scissor keeper
I’ve finished my scissor keeper, it was a kit by Lorna Bateman. I added the ribbon to make sure the expensive gold work scissors did not go missing or get used for other things.
I designed the back my self.
I still have the thimble keeper to make, I thought it might be good to keep the beeswax in. I have another couple of Lorna Bateman kits waiting too.

Gold work 2
I’ve put the front leg into my practice piece.
Luna likes to make herself really comfy 
Just catching a few rays. Perhaps I could attach solar cells & she could work while she sleeps.

Preparing for gold work
For my next module with the royal school of needlework I have chosen gold work. As I have not had much experience of working with gold thread, I thought it would be a good idea to try it out. I copied my design on to a spare piece of silk, & I have been working on the felt padding before, the real thing, there are four layers of felt under that hare. 
Layers 1&2
I hope it’s ok & I can get started on the ‘best’ one. I was asked to come up with a name it’s going to be known as the ‘Hoo Hare’ , from the Hoo peninsula in Kent (UK).
