It's after 10:00am and I'm still un-showered and in my dressing gown! Such slovenly habits ... still, it is Sunday and I've done the washing up and filled the bird feeders, so I've not been entirely inactive. I've also snuck in a bit of stitching ... the idea for a design based on auriculas has been put aside for a little while as I can't quite work out how to do it.
I got the centre of the flower - the yellow and green - how I wanted them but the larger light and dark purple wasn't right. So that's on a back burner for a while. Fingers itching, and having bought some pillar box red wool on ebay, I decided on a stripy design to make up into a mini cushion.
It'll be similar to this blue cushion, just lots of stripes in various shades of red and orange, broken up by white and silver squares, rectangles and crosses. I tried taking a photo of progress so far, but it doesn't photograph well.
Okay, I'd better stop now and make myself look respectable. Sadly the needlepoint will have to wait.
