Daisies in Bullion Stitch

 

I worked the Daisy flowers in Bullion stitch .  Probably not historically correct .... 

 ......... also not the neatest bullion stitches . I think they improved as I went along .

 I haven't done Bullion stitch for a while .  Practice makes perfect !

A Little Detail from the Luttrell Psalter

After a slightly frosty morning , the sun came out again . 

We went for our morning walk over at Kynance .

It was just such a beautiful morning !

After the gloomy day we had yesterday . 

                                        Pasties for lunch !

A little more stitching .  

This is a detail from the Luttrell Psalter . ( which I love )  British Library add MS 42130 (medieval manuscript , 1325-1340)f151v

❄️Icy cold morning embroidery ❄️

 With a hot water bottle and blanket , I sat in the car while my husband had his 8.30am hospital appointment .

A bitterly icy cold morning .

I brought my embroidery with me ...I wished I'd remembered to bring a flask of coffee .

Apart from a few small things , I got this pretty much finished . It will become a small bag for a prayer book and rosary .

I was waiting a very long time and decided to make a start on another little piece .

No snow , but heavy hail showers . Very glad I brought my hot water bottle ! 

I managed to finish three of these tiny oak leaves .

Very glad to get home in the warm .

Heads and Tails - Early Medieval Stitching Me

  

                                                          🌿🕊️🌿

My Early Medieval Crewel Embroidery - Fish - and a bit of Cornish wave watching !

 

 Watching the waves down on Poldhu .  . . . also adorable dog doing zoomies !  ( not mine )

       A little bit more of that Pointe de Bayeux  or Bayeux Stitch or Laid and Couched Stitch  . 

I wonder what it was originally called  ?

Not wishing to upset anyone , I decided to change the title of this - not strictly being Anglo-Saxon .... it actually coming from an 11th century lectionary manuscript , from L'Abbey de Silos  .National Library France . Early Medieval though .

My Early Medieval Crewel Embroidery - Fish

 

I'm stitching this with crewel wool and so far I am working this with Knots and Bayeux Tapestry Stitch and a little split stitch here and there .

I'm not actually sure if French Knots or Colonial Knots are historically correct .... but ..oh well ....that's what I'm doing  .

 And if you really want to know , mine are Colonial Knots .

Storm Claudia - not too bad here 🌧️🌧️

 

 A miserable morning . We took a flask and enjoyed our coffee sitting in the car park at Kynance .

The rain briefly eased up , but only long enough for me to hobble a little way ( without the walking frame ! ) and take this photo . Then back to the car .

We might have another try for a walk this afternoon . I think it is forecast to drizzle most of the day though  . 

I know other places up and down the country are getting it far worse than us .

Not a lot going on in the garden . I'm doing a little medieval needlework piece .

It is an 11th century illumination from a Lectionary of different feast days of the year . From L'Abbey de Silos .National Library France . 

 No real reason other than it looks a small manageable piece . Cute fish and I love stitching medieval .

Full Moon - white - quick sketch embroidery

                               Full Moon on white linen ... 

                               How minimalist can I go ? 

Full Moon - A quick sketch embroidery

                       I doodled a quick sketch of the moon  .

            It is full moon this evening and I just thought I might embroider it .

Should I embroider this on white linen or on black ? 

I chose to embroider it on black , but now I'm thinking white or cream would be better .

I didn't want to fill the moon face in .....but then I thought that , actually , the way I've done it , it is more like new moon !
