The depth of color and design you can get from just small pieces of wool is surprising.

I find that switching up needles sizes between projects helps but it kills my mojo to keep changing projects. <br />Your stitching projects are beautiful. I can't stop looking at Fox and Rabbit. There's so much going on.

One thing I notice is that the outstanding ones are the ones where you've picked out a part of something; the bar sign, the figure's eyeball, the single car of the wheel and the horses on the carousel. I would have naturally tried to nicely frame the bigger object. I'm going to try and bear this in mind.<br /><br />I envy you because the last place I want to be on that day is with other people. I haven't done cards or presents for years. But for some reason it means a huge amount to Mum to have the family around on that day and you don't know how many years you've got left with them do you.peahenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395503525006623752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7358911480916068024.post-83880969813037915292023-12-09T11:21:43.171+00:002023-12-09T11:21:43.171+00:00How beautiful!

The kiddies haven't seen the inside of my house during the holidays for at least 20 years now. They do their own things so it's just us two old fools pretending to be jolly. The whole thing gets sadder every year. If I didn't have a house full of critters I would pack it in and head off too. I would rather be anywhere but here right now.
