I had started playing round with fabric and threads, when I noticed the Lots to Do challenge for this week is "Stitches" so I decided to finish my little hanging and enter it.
First I stamped on Velvet with Stazon Opaque white before I free machine embroidered, adding little bits and cutting tags and tails. I added some beads and a beaded hanger to finish it off.
We've had so many lovely gestures of kindness since DH has had his operation but I must admit I was so thrilled by these beautiful roses from our next door neighbour that I wanted to share them.
Today is our 44th wedding Anniversary and I am so pleased that DH is able to walk up with me to our local Chinese Restaurant tonight for a celebratory meal out. We are lucky in so many ways.
