Jasmine

I'm blatantly mining my own blog for photos, again. And I've found so many that I am having two editions this week: this first is all about embroidery.

Here is some hand stitching I did in Augusts past. I suppose this month is a good one for settling down and seeing through the end of winter, and it seems I did quite a bit of it in other winters. Not so many this August due to, you know, going to work in an office then coming home and feeling too lazy to pick up my threads. Bit sad, really.

– I crossed (haha) this sampler off the list a few years back- I do believe this was done while making my way through the boxed set of Outrageous Fortune. 

a jasmine embroidery. Jasmine in August, really? Don't think I could grow it here through winter.

– Can't remember why I made this needlebook now. But it was fun. Grey and pink belong together.

– These are felt pins featuring different native NZ plants. Interesting to research and stitch. I think I made about 25 of these altogether. 

Have a great week, dear readers.

    I love the jasmine too. Someone came to work with a piece in their hair the other day so you could find some in Wellington somewhere!
