tiny happy

Inspired by the deep blue of the morning glory flowers in our garden (i know they're a noxious weed, but isn't that blue/purple brilliant?) I made these earrings. Okay, so I didn't really make them, just found the silver pieces second-hand and thought they would make a good frame for a bit of stitching. Or weaving, primary-school style. I started with quite a complicated multicolour and cross-stitch plan, but eventually went for simple running stitches instead. I don't wear earrings very often (too lazy to find a matching pair in my jewellery box) but this year I'd like to try and make some new ones.

I hope you had a good weekend. It was beautifully warm here, with lots of time for reading, putting things in order, coffee with friends, and generally pottering around. The best kind of weekend.
