I am definitely not getting as much stitching time as I would like, especially at the weekends, but I am managing to fit in a little time most mornings to work on my
Pouchette. I am making slow but steady progress. It is a good thing that I enjoy couching because my design involves a lot of couching and it is taking a very long time to do all the outlines. I think that it will be worth it because it does emphasis the swirly gold lines in the way I imagined. The
Pouchette had a day out at
The Big Stitch last Saturday and I received some very nice comments about it.

In the evenings I have been working on the
bird thimble holder. Another slow project! All of those tiny buttonhole stitches round and round and round! Actually, it is not all round and round, there was a little toing and froing for a while. I finally covered the entire body. It has taken me two months just to do that and that was only lesson one of four so I may be working on this little bird for some time yet.

Happy Stitching

Oh My Goodness - the beading is really beautiful, Carol-Anne! Absolutely stunning. It's amazing how they "pick up" the middle of the fabric and make it almost glow.
I love the little form for the thimble, too - looks like a Huge Job for such a little thing!

You do seem to line up a lot of very fine work for yourself! Good to see the bird form finished, and looking so even and neat - well done, as it can't have been easy!
It's good to see the Pouchette appearing again. The colour gradations look great. It will be worth the effort when it's finished. Maybe Christimas will give you some more stitching time?
