Embroidery

Not really sure what started it but I've had the needle, thread and embroidery hoop out this week.

I ordered this sampler to embroider and while waiting for it to arrive; I ransacked my supplies. It was like a very colourful bomb had dropped.

I bought the latest Crossstitcher magazine, and wanted to try a little cross stitch. I like the bird cross stitch but didn't have many of the exact colours so after much playing about and matching colours. I found suitable supplies without having to buy anything.

This is my progress so far...

I'll see how much gets done before the knitting bug bites back.
