Just come back from the hairdressers, my head feels so much lighter now, it was nine weeks since I last went and it had grown so much. This will be my last post until the New Year. Lindsay finishes work today and is coming to me on Saturday until after Christmas so my days will be commandeered until then.
I have been doing some work on my African book and have nearly used one of my new skeins of thread that I bought. Hope there will be enough to finish what I am doing.
I am working a Housa design across the two pages of the book. Housa's are very heavily stitched so it should keep me occupied over the holidays.
Roma has been doing workshops with textileartists.org and this is some of the work she has been doing.
This design uses crumpled paper as a starting point for stitching. I agree with Roma that this has a Saharan Desert feel to it.
I love this glove design and the fabric is gorgeous.
Meanwhile Cath has been working through some of her stash to produce this really nice piece. She says she was determined to start it and to finish it before starting something else. I think she succeeded.
I know a few people now who have had their vaccines so it looks like things are moving on and hopefully this will get rid of this virus and we can all return to normal. Have a lovely Christmas everyone and I am looking forward to seeing you all in the New Year.
