Ok, it’s not quite been a week, but almost. I have been dutifully doing my daily stitches, but whilst I managed to do the Facebook and Twitter updates every day, by the time I’d done those, I’d run out of steam / time to write a blog post as well. Anyway, here are the six stitches I owe you, with a little bit about how they came about.
Day 33: Blue window
A nice art nouveau design. Quite a bit of backstitch, but very few cross stitches, so that pretty much evened things out. Really like the art nouveau stuff, so you can expect some more of those in the course of the year.

Day 34: Flower (green on red)
A design from a book I hadn’t used before! Changed the colours, and have to say I’m pleased with how it turned out.

Day 35: Complementary square
My own design, stitched partly at the launch if my friend Sam’s art exhibition at Pave. Getting quite used to stitching in public places 🙂

Day 36: Cheery pink brollies
A nice and simple design, as I didn’t have much time on Thursday. Could have done with one of those during the day, as the weather was absolutely miserable.

Day 37: Orange flower
Stitched this one at book group. Amazingly, I’d actually managed to read just over half of the book we were discussing (The Nightwatch by Sarah Waters), and read some more of it today as well. Hadn’t expected to do any reading this year, so that’s good going 🙂

Day 38: Little green monster
This one’s for my little boy, who’d asked me to stitch ‘the dinosaur’.

Well, we’re up to date again. Will try and post a bit more frequently this week!
