Here I am in the study. I,ve closed the curtains on the storm that's brewing up outside ! The wind is howling and I,m afraid there will be some damage tonight .
So I,m listening to some nice music and relaxing with my embroidery .
I hadn't intended this to be anything in particular , it is just a nice scrap of relaxing meditation embroidery , but I have been thinking about what I might do with it and I have a few ideas .
I tore off another strip of linen of a similar size and have been examining it .
It looks very old. I love vintage linen , it feels so nice .
I want to show off it's lovely fibres and so I spent about an hour with my needle , pulling away the woven threads .
Very satisfying , I could have pulled it all to pieces I was so deep in thought .
At the moment I have what are beginning to look like two embroidered borders .
I continued with the Lazy Daisy stitches , enjoying all the soothing shades of blue .
It is getting late so I think I will continue this in bed for a little while before sleep .
We,ve had some torrential rain and had a few lightening flashes , but it's the wind that is rather worrying this evening .
Here's hoping that it wont last too long .
I hope all is well for you this morning.
