More grey

There are never enough shades of grey in anything! Starting design work on a new piece based around grey and struggling to find enough shades to colour the base design in so had to resort to watercolour where there is only 1 so I have to keep adjusting the shade grrr. This issue is going to repeat it's self when it comes to stitching but at least I have a box of grey
threads - even if there is only about 7 shades to choose from.
Blew the dust off the Arctic Monkey's cds had forgotten how much I enjoy them.
Progress has been nil on projects shown in last entry really should not be starting something new but is for the Regional Exhibition and the deadline is coming up.

New Project takes a bad turn....

I so needed to start a new project - not- but oh well did it anyway! As a reader of Tracy A Franklin's blog I was enjoying watching her Crathorne bug project evolve so decided before she got too far along I had better get it started.  Things were going along well new techniques were being tried and enjoyed and catching up was in sight till yesterday when the next step was shown and it involves seed stitch. A horror stitch to me as it involves that terrible word RANDOM. I do not cope well with random so even though I am viewing this piece as a learning piece - there are some slightly dodgee  stitched pieces I think a wee practice will be in order before I can begin the next phase. But I do recommend checking out Tracy's blog and also stitching the piece it is a lot of fun...

Progress so far.
