WIP Day 11: The Structure

 
And it's cracking along rather nicely.

In fact shortly after I took this photo I had mounted the embroidery/clock face, so the exterior pieces are pretty much done. Now it's onto getting the interior sorted but I think I might stitch the outside together first. I can't decide what would be best. I'll figure that out during work....

WIP: Clock Face Done!

Yes the clock face done! And I can actually get on with the construction now. I can't wait to start I just need to make sure I have sharp enough knife blades, otherwise I'm going to venture out and nip down to the artshop.

On top of this today, and I'm feeling rather on the ball today, despite going to bed in the wee hours of the morning. I stitched 3 o'clock, tidied my room, put up a few christmas decorations to make it more well more inspirational to work at. Hey I know it's still November, but I purchased the cutest little china Reindeer from Paperchase, (I've yet to name him, any suggestions?) and started gift wrapping, though have run out of brown paper. Darn it! Yes, I actually got my Christmas shopping done. Beat that!

I am about to finish up my cuppa, then nip down into the kitchen to start cooking a stew type dish, and perhaps a fresh batch of scones. Then I'll be back upstairs stitching, I need to crack on with finishing up a few bits of stock to list. Before I can actually knuckle down and get cracking with the desk clock. 

Hope your having a productive day, and enjoying the fact the Christmas season is well and truely upon us. First time that I actually feel I want to get into the spirit of things. Even purchased crackers, and looking at board games. Who doesn't love a good board game on Christmas day?

6 o'clock - Time to Love

And another mark on the clock face is done, and actually it took less time than I thought it would have done. Which is super as I'm chomping at the bit to get to the actual construction. The embroidery of course has been an utter pleasure to do but it's the shape of the clock that I can't wait to do!!!
