Very much a work in progress

I'm not sure at this stage whether this needlepoint pattern will work.  There's always a stage when you're a 1/3rd or halfway through and you're convinced the design's no good.  Usually it works out okay in the end, but sometimes you just have to admit it's a turkey!!

I think the middle section is going to be based on a teazel head, so I collected a few while I was out cycling this morning. 

They really are extraordinary things.  I'll keep going with the needlepoint as there are elements of it I like and might recycle into another pattern.  I've got an idea for the dandelion heads (the white lollipop like thingys)  with a line of them followed by a line of stripes then more dandelion heads. But as usual I've more ideas than time!

Thanks everyone for your comments. It's really nice of you to stop by, especially when I'm such a hopeless blogger and keep forgetting to post anything for ages! Will try harder. Promise ...
