finishes......and more W.I.Ps

 I have had an "odd" week...

...feeling very "odd" after that jab...

...which left me more than a bit weary until Wednesday/Thursday!!

But...

...the needles weren't abandoned for long...

...and, although my brain wasn't in gear much...

...I did manage to finish a number of my wee Pendules :-)

I will have sooooooo many of these done for (whisper it) Christmas...

...when they will be dangled from a garland that's attached to the centre beam in the living room!

I got this little darling done too...

...another Blackbird Designs...

...from their "Flea Market Souvenir".

(I have plans for this and a few more pieces :-)  )

And the W.I.P...

...Marion again...

...just a couple of trees and a few more flowers...

...but she's coming along...

It's nice here today...

...so it's lunch on the terrace again!

Have a great week lovely folks

February 2021 ~ week 1 ~ punching....painting.... and a "Pendule"

 It will make a change to have absolutely no pictures of a snowy garden today.

The promised "white stuff" turned itself away in someone else's direction...

...and left us simply very, very cold!!

I even fired up the beast yesterday evening because it felt chilly...

...even in this usually cosy house.

So, I stitched with the fire crackling away...

...on a little piece of punchneedle...

...to go on this rather lovely old glass bottle found in a flea market somewhere.

The paints have been out lately too...

...working on some "medieval" pieces...

...stained glass windows from Chartres Cathedral.

They take ages because I work with this tiny Brause nib to fill in the black areas.

(Why do I always do this to myself!!?? :-o  )

A small cross-stitch project got finished on Thursday.

It was supposed to be yet another biscornu...

...but I thought I'd try a different format...

...and made this one into a "Pendule".

I can see a basket of these being done to hang up on a line or pole somewhere.

They don't take long to come together...

...and are useful time-filler-inners for the odd evening :-)

They are also very pretty don't you think?

Have a good week...and keep safe...
