Peace and Quiet

I've had peace and quiet here today, and I've made the most of it! I've been crafting! Well, it was too hot to do much else! I managed five cards today, and inspired by my little chook yesterday, he featured heavily!



I also remembered to take a pic of my cross stitch to show - the diagonal red crosses are really tricky, I've really got to concentrate due to all the fractional stitches, but the vertical and horizonal lines are easy! I did it the other way round to make life easier - backstitch first so that I can just fill in the three different reds. I hate it when the back stitching/outlining cuts a stitch and half is inside the line and half outside (OK, I know, that is a bit OCD!)


Enjoy the weekend!

    Hi Carole

    I love the way your cross-stitch is coming alone - all sounds very technical though for a sipleton like me !!

    Your cards are always fab and today is no exception. I keep meaning to ask - whaere did you get your lovely little sentiment tickets - or are they stamps. Come on - 'fess up!!
