The rain seems to stretch on and on here but I do quite enjoy the misty grey sky and light it creates outside. The look of the spring blossoms and branches against the grey clouds inspired these small embroidered pieces- one on blue linen and the other worked on some new dark grey I found in my local fabric store.
I'm enjoying the idea of monochromatic stitching and wondering what colour to try next- perhaps lots of fine black stitching on white linen? Or red embroidery on cream fabric?
In other news, I was excited to find this beautiful food blog the other day- Indian Simmer. Perhaps my dreams of mastering some Indian recipes might come true, after all?
This NZ Christmas ornament swap looks like fun (via Louana) and here is another which is open to international participants too. Eek- Christmas talk already? This year is flying by so quickly.
