Day 10 of the challenge, and about a week into stitching for me - and the first petal is starting to take shape! I love the colours on the linen, they really seem to shine and take on a life of their own. This is the first time I've really worked on linen, and while it has its challenges, I love the look that the stitches have on it.
You can see how quickly this is stitching up compared to the last photo! I might actually get this done in time......
In other news, everything is starting to take shape for Africa. Posted my visa application yesterday for Zambia (nearly £70 for a visa!!) and getting my malaria tablets tomorrow (£80 for them!) so my bank balance is feeling a little bit poorly this month. However, this is a once in a lifetime trip, and I cannot wait. Ten weeks to go......
That is looking really beautiful. And that trip sounds amazing, have fun
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI can't stop looking at your beautiful stitching!
ReplyDeleteAre you going to Victoria Falls in Zambia? I hope you take TONS of pictures...Nancy will be beside herself since that is a MASSIVE waterfall :D
Aw, thank you! And yes, I am. Stating in Livingstone for a few days, then into Botswana, and finally down into Capetown and the Winelands. Oh, there'll be a ton of pictures coming, have no fear of that!!
