Still not quite finished " My Cornish Cottage Home Sweet Home " page for my Little Cloth Book


     I thought that I had finished my Cornish Cottage Home Sweet Home page for my Little Cloth  Book  .... but on closer inspection I can still see some areas that need a few stitches more .
    Strange that sometimes , when I have enjoyed working on a piece of embroidery or a water colour painting , it can be so hard to say " it is finished !" .

Little Cloth Book Cottage

 
I embroidered this last year .  It is our little Cornish cottage where we have been happy for many years .


 I thought I might embroider it again , for a page in my little cloth book .


 I sketched it onto the cloth with a pencil and this time I am using my favourite Appleton's crewel wool .


I am terrible for always trying to put too much detail in to my pictures. I need this to be much simpler , because it is so much smaller than my original embroidered picture .


I am showing off this sweet little padded purse that I found on Ebay Uk from "madebyjerryiow" it is perfect for my little embroidery scissors .
 I can thread a ribbon  through the ring and wear it as a pendant around my neck , so they are always close to hand and I wont get stabbed by their sharp points .
                  I love the bee so much too !
