I go through all sorts of creative phases; at one time it was cross stitch. Here are a few things I made:
I loved this project; I like zebras. It hangs on my bedroom wall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I made this for my mother's 90th birthday. It was her philosophy of life. When she died, it was returned to me. It also hangs on my bedroom wall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This knot garden embroidery is only about 18cm square, but has dozens of colours as well as gold thread. This one is in my sitting room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This means "A Hundred Thousand Welcomes" and is in Irish. We lived in Ireland for six years. It hangs in my dining room, and was a talking point among my guests when I ran a B&B.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally, not something I did, but a surprise in my flower garden: something that came up from the compost, a golden tomato plant. If you haven't tried these, do grow them, they have a lovely flavour.
love the photos of your cross stitch pictures. I also love to cross stitch but mine are much simpler - cos I like things that get finished - QUICK ! :o)
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of a golden tomato- wow- what a treasure. Where can I get seeds for these? Are they sweeter than normal tomatoes?
