A bit of Colourful Stitching and some piccies....

I've got plenty of stitching to do in the Rosa-van...

...and coming up with new ideas for pieces/projects/kits is all part of the fun!

Here's one where the stitching has been completed...

...but is awaiting beads etc.


It will take quite a few methinks :-)

We've been in the Lakes for a few days...and then just outside Stirling since Wednesday last...

I'm all packed and ready for the Scottish Summer School that begins tomorrow....

...really looking forward to spending time with the lovely ladies from north of the border!

I've taken a few photos...

...around Windermere and Grasmere...




...and around Loch Lomond...





I shall be preparing some backgrounds over the next few days...

...and the plan is to make a special small book based on Loch Lomond.

We will be returning to pick up some pieces of pertinent tartans...

MacGregor...Buchanan...MacFarlane...and Colquhoun (pronounced Co-Hoon)

These were the clans around the loch in 1603 (a few more have sneaked in since then...but you've got to stop somewhere!)

I'll have plenty of time after the Summer School...

...and will make very good use of it!!
