Dark harbour 2

Dark harbour

Botanical

I bought some beautiful possum/merino Dark Harbour yarn from my mate Nikki. When I picked it up and looked into its beautiful grey-blue depths, I couldn't leave it on her table (at the Social Wool Fair a few weekends back).

I packaged it up for my sister who had a birthday last week, along with a project bag I made for her, with tiny white plants (she's a gardener) embroidered on dark blue linen with woven squares. (You can click on the picture for a closer look at the embroidery). Hopefully she likes dark harbour blue hues as much as i do.

    I lost my project bag along with my beautiful silk dress I had eco dyed. I loved my bag. I made it in your class. I also have a few baby showers coming up. Time for a look see in your beautiful book for some inspiration and some sewing. I want another project bag. It went missing with my sewing needle book. This weekends projects I feel. x
