This weekend, I really wanted to work on a simple, relaxing sewing project. I had some spare linen which was originally the back of a pair of curtains and some fabric scraps left over from making Miss M's little skirts. So, using a couple of embroidery hoops that I've had for ages and some sunny yellow embroidery floss, I made these two little pictures....
They are very simple, but then sometimes simple can be just right! I enjoyed making these and they look pretty and homespun on the living room wall...
Hope everyone is enjoying the bank holiday weekend? G is working today and I have to go into work later for a few hours, so this morning Miss M and I are just relaxing with books (her) and crochet (me!)...
Thank you for all the lovely comments recently and for the kind birthday wishes. They made me very happy :)

ReplyDeleteThese are just lovely and would go in any room in the house, well done you. I love the colours and the sheer simplicity of the pattern which really allows the fabric and colour to blend and shine together. A pair of gorgeous creations - love them!
