A Little Progress...

Breaking blog silence to report that there has been some progress...not a lot but I seem to have managed to get SKoW restarted...working out just what colours I wanted to use for the stitchery portions and ordering skeins of the colours I was missing was a good start...
 
At retreat on the weekend stitchery bits were stitched on...

 The book...having received Marian's latest book during the week I chose this block first... yes I know the book is backwards, not all languages write/read left to right and the fact that English does I'm ignoring!

The yellow of the floss really doesn't photograph but it is there!

And yesterday at sewing group...

Chosen for the fact it has one word and therefore was quick to get done!...

 Hippy Dippy Jeans...Peace Man!...

The stitchery on another one is underway...what can it be???...you'll have to wait and see...

Happy Stitching...

I LOVE Marion Keyes. I read Rachel's Holiday a few months back. Have you read Watermelon, her first novel? It's the same family as in Rachel's Holiday, & is the funniest book I've ever read.
Love your hippy dippy jeans. :-)
