....just stitching in the rain...
...what a glorious feeling...
...I'm happy again!
It's more grey and damp than sunny and warm here right now...
...but my stitching boxes are keeping me well enough occupied...
... and I do (quite) like hearing the sound of rain on the caravan roof! :-)
Being inside...
...quietly stitching away...
...gives me the head-space to think and plan...
...and try to decide in which direction I need to go.
We've had a look around at some houses...
...which turned out not to be right for us...
...but we have (we think) decided on an area...
...and will continue looking over the next year...
...mostly online...until we come back again.
Meantime...
...little hanging trees are happening...
...just one of a number which will make-up a wall piece (mobile-thingy).
Now moving on to the leaves and butterflies....

Hobbling around and doing a bit....
It's sore!
...and I'm hobbling around like I-don't-know-what...
...but, after a couple of days of feeling really groggy...
...I've managed to get my head into some sort of gear and get some bits done.
I've been offered gallery space at this year's West Country Quilt & Textile Show...
...so I'll be doing workshops too.
Here are a couple of my samples.....
...this can be either a needlecase or a notebook.
A medieval tile design printed onto hand-dyed cotton...
...stitched and beaded.
Postie brought me an Ebay win this morning...
...a delightful old book on butterflies that has the most beautiful colour plates!
These will be just the thing for some collage pieces...
...after they've been scanned, printed and cut out. :-)
And...
....in addition to all of this...
...my reading material for the next few days before our picnic visit to St. Mary's Church, Kempley, Glos.
(Have a look at these links - English Heritage; BritainExpress; 360 virtual tour.
Apart from a gammy knee...
...life is quite good!
