Embroidery



In the spirit of all things flowery, it is a very rainy day and i am working on my new "thing", an embroidery that the mother in law had tucked away in a suitcase. I am in love with the colours of embroidery floss, it's like painting with the best and most vivid thick oils.




My plants are loving this rain after all the sunshine of the last week, and it is suddenly so warm! I can positively hear them slurping up the watery goodness. A false spring me thinks, it certainly FEELS like spring, but surely not in August?!

Hehehhe, I like that image in my head - hearing hungry flowers slurping.

I LOVE your embroidery - I wish I knew how to do it!
