Life has been keeping me busy and there has been very little time to sit down , relax and really concentrate on my little Seraphim .
After a busy morning in the vegetable garden , doing laundry and cooking lunch , I finally got to flop down in the summerhouse and do some embroidery .....and I did a little bit more of it .
I'm using fine silk embroidery thread on some beautiful ecclesiastical brocade cloth .
I am thinking of going larger with this and embroidering it again with crewel wool .

For a bit of fun and less intense stitching I've been stitching along with Kathryn on her Youtube channel K3n slow stitch . I came to it a bit late and have only done the Eclipse and the Wolf Moon .
This weeks prompt is Planet Earth and Kathryn has shown us ideas to inspire us to do this ...her way or your own way . It's really relaxing and fun . It is lovely to see what everyone is doing over on her Facebook group .
I think the idea is to stitch these into a cloth journal . Others are making them into wall hangings or bags .....as usual , I have no idea yet what I will do with mine !
I'm just enjoying piecing my leftover scraps of material together . Using old clothes or scraps of patchwork cottons and lace .
It doesn't have to be perfectly stitched , neatly hemmed nor straight . Frayed and wonky is the new beautiful ! And it really is ! I'm delighted with what I've made so far .
More Dolly patchwork is being planned !
Pictures from our late afternoon walk .....
After months of stormy weather , it was amazing to see the sea so calm .
Blue sky .
Not the slightest breeze and so quiet .
Hope you are having gentle weather where ever you are and time to relax and stitch .
