Re: Jo's Stitching 2024
Thank you Mabel, I have been doing a bit of stitching this week but the weather has got rather warm and there is lots of gardening to do. This is where my Woodland Fairy is this evening: https://i.postimg.cc/wv7tx3GC/P5121480.jpg Once I have filled in the foliage between her wings I plan to go down ...

Re: Jo's Stitching 2024
Thank you Serinde
I've been working on my Fairy's wing:
With top of the wing in position it won't matter if I miss count on the background between the wings as it is just foliage

I noted this morning that the forum had exceeded its bandwidth limit and having got back in I noted that there is over 450 guests. This is a "feature" of the latest bots ( claudebot and amazonbot ) that are emanating out of Singapore. I am not sure what Alex uses to protect the forum from ...

Let's assume you want to keep it and rent it out ... so let's give you a low effort option: The builder who did my work in deepest Hampshire also did a few "remote jobs" in Mid Wales where he got a place to stay in for a few weeks with his family for which he did the property up while his ...

Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
Sorting out property for ones parents is always a hassle. The house: it all depends if doing anything with it is going to substantially alter the value in comparison with the amount of your effort and cost required to get it to a sellable state remembering that the tax man will gain 40% of the incre...

Re: Jo's Stitching 2024
I've stitched out to the start of the outer border: https://i.postimg.cc/65pbR0yd/P4211438.jpg I had a bit of confusion with the backstitching colours: the outer leaves/flowers is supposed to be a darker than the inner leaves. Having discovered I was using the wrong colour within the inner border I ...

Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
Thankfully this fleece is not that mucky and I have just finished rinsing in the wheelbarrow and it is sat out to dry. Next time I might do a pre rinse in the wheelbarrow before doing the soap wash in my bath :roll: It looks and feels lovely a very long fibre but not very strong. If the birds leave ...

Re: 2024 Quick Daily Posts
Today I purchased my first raw sheep fleece to provide stuffing for a bolster I am planning to make. I would have shown you a picture of washing the fleece but it looked so revolting sitting there in the brown water. I was pleased it did not leave a mark in my bath. :oops: What I found bizarre was w...

Re: Jo's Stitching 2024
The Pink flowers are Lady Slipper orchids and the blue ones are violets. They will both be clearer once I do the backstitching.
Between the two borders is another type of flower but I have no idea what they are supposed to be.

Re: Jo's Stitching 2024
Thank you Mabel,
The Woodland Fairy is not as "easy" to do as the Four Seasons as the inner of the two outside borders/frames is so broken up by the over flowing flower leaves leaves:
The Gold thread is the start of the inner frame.
