Feeling a little Royal...and look ain't she pretty!

When I stitch I love to listen either to music in all its varied forms, TV box sets (currently West Wing and Supernatural) and the odd documentary. Lately its been the Diamond Queen, and I have to say I am feeling a little bit more Royalist. The Queen has always reminded me of my late nan, style, the way she conducted herself and at the time with my nan she was a constant. So its almost disappointing that the programme that looked back on her reign, the highs and lows was only three parts. Anyway, its been making me think and I am rather in the mood to stitch a crown. However, before I do that I must crack on with my collaboration with Heidi (Making Strangers), one clock is officially complete and another is in the works today.

Doesn't she look pretty? There are a few more bits to sort out, labels and packaging but she is complete! Just another two of this design to go, but on different coloured linens. I hear Berwick Street calling my name in a few weeks time!

Some of you might wonder now, hang on I thought you started this one already? Or is this your second one? Yes, I did already start this design, and technically it is my second. Like most people I am only human and I stupidly managed to get something on the first one, whilst annoying at the time has allowed me to rethink how I started it last time. I wasn't totally happy with the last stitching anyway, so it was perhaps a saving grace. So, this is what I am working on at the moment, just on the last cloud so I'll be able to whip the tissue off shortly and crack on with filling in the clouds, then it will be the trees, rain then finally the little guy standing on the uppermost cloud.

What are you up today?
