Flitting...

...from one thing to another and finding it difficult to achieve much of anything!

I'm experimenting with linen stitch (sometimes called seed stitch). Two different yarns and two very different effects.



Both are destined to be scarves of some sort, or possibly cowls.

I've found a way, via Pinterest, of attaching little flowers neatly and securely to hair clips so I'm playing with these and hoping to sell them at the Open Studios next weekend.







If they don't sell, then I'm stuck with them - can't see me persuading my three teenage boys to wear them!!
Finally, I'm playing with tiny scraperboards and wondering whether to add colour.



If only I could settle down to one thing I might actually finish something.  At least now that England are out of the World Cup I can relax and just enjoy the rest of the tournament! Although I now have to fit in cheering on Andy Murray in Wimbledon too!

I'm ready...

...for the World Cup!

I have my wall chart, ready to be filled in...



I have my lovely new yarn ready for a crochet project to make during all those matches...



I have my new summer dress to wear and pretend I'm really in Rio (made from Simplicity pattern 3833 - a really straightforward and lovely make - I plan to make at least one more version)...


I can't wait!
