Anglo-Saxon Brooch crewel continued ....
My friend and I ( and the dogs ) enjoyed a hearty lunch of sausages and bubble,n,squeak , followed by a beautiful Autumnal walk over at Trelissick Gardens yesterday . We both agreed that it did us so much good !
It was so nice . I just wish that I,d remembered to bring my camera !
She treated me to this sweet little cast iron mouse ! He is already being very helpful !
I have finished the main embroidery part of this now and am trying to find all the bits and bobs that I will need , to make this up into a useful little needle-case/brooch .
This has mostly been needle-painting and I have tried to stay true to the brooch as it is today , with all the knocks it's taken over the centuries .
It must have been truly beautiful before the copper oxidised ....although I do love the green too .
I really need to turn my thoughts to Christmas now ,with Advent fast approaching and finish this in the New Year .
..... cheerful .
