Ha ha ha ! Belly Dancing me !
Scribbled on with pencil and stitched with Perle cotton thread and DMC cotton threads . Mostly back stitch , stem stitch , satin stitch , a few Colonial knots for my ear-rings and flower centres , some of my hair is couching stitch , Lazy daisy stitch flowers and very raggedy Button-hole stitch around the edges of the page ... especially at the bottom to give the effect of long grass .
I love to dance !
A very simple and roughly stitched Button-hole stitch around the edge .
And for those who always want to look at the back ! I started and finished with a knot and tail on the back .
When I do my crewel work , especially more precious projects , then I usually start and end on the front .
For my simple little cloth book , its free and easy who cares kind of stitching !
So now the first page that I did , does not look colourful enough !
I think if I do a more colourful button stitch around the edge , it might help to make it work again .
I,m making this up as I go along you see . I,m really loving these cheerful colours .
I was deciding which page to do next .....
....... this one maybe ?
At that very moment I looked up and saw these two hearts in the sky !
A sign maybe !
