Here's a bit of botanical-inspired stitching based on plants from around the garden.

We're in the first week of school holidays here, and the children have been doing a little bit of helping out with weeding and other gardening chores, and the rest of the time making more mess to be sorted out later. A 'hut' or hiding place under a tree where they can spy on grown-ups and hide their shell collection. And 'camellia wars' where they (and their friends and neighbours) throw rotting flowers at each other. It's all action around here.

    Haha, throwing rotting flowers at each other and making mess is exactly the kind of things my kids do. They aren’t very cute or helpful but love them nonetheless. Lovely stitching as always Melissa. x

    Your embroidery is inspiring as always! I am looking for the smallest embroidery hoops i can find…..so far i’ve only found 3″. Do you have any resources for smaller hoops? My daughter has made a series of tiny embroidered pictures and i am looking for hoops to frame them in. They just seem to get lost in 3″ hoops.
