Pens and threads.

Another Monday rolls around....how's everybody doing? Hope you are all managing to stay safe at home and are finding joy in being able to pass the time stitching or crafting.

I have managed to get caught up on the Peppermint Purple SAL....


I thought this week's design looked like rows of screws! The repeat pattern was very easy to follow and stitched up pretty quickly.


I spent some time doing some ink drawings which I haven't done for ages......and by ages, I mean years! I'm planning to carve out more time to keep doing this ......


I also dusted off the brush pens and started lettering, although I definitely do need more practice...


....I also need more time to do everything that I want to do! Can anyone help with that?!!

Maybe you can help me with this though.....as mentioned in my last post I have run out of thread for the Wedding Sampler I was working on. Thank you to those who offered to send me some if they had it in their stash....much appreciated. The colour I'm missing is brown 801, so if anyone has it in their stash and would be willing to send it to me, I would be truly grateful.....and of course I'll see if I can send you a colour that's missing from your stash. Let me know in the comments , or pop me an email and I'll get in touch. 

Until next time....happy stitching!

I’m sure I have 801 and would be happy to send it to you.

I love your penmanship...always wanted to learn Caligraphy..does this come naturally for you.
How do I get the thread to you?

I love the color in your Peppermint Purple SAL and your lettering. Sorry, I only have one skein of 801, but if nobody else offers, I can send you about 1/2 skein as it's not a color I use often.

Beautiful drawing and calligraphy! There is NEVER enough time in the day to do everything; no matter how much free time in the day there is. Love how your SAL is turning out.

Your blackwork piece looks fantastic. Love the thread and the way it variegates. Wow you are very talented. Beautiful flowers. Your writing is gorgeous too. I haven't found any extra time so sorry I can't share any with you. I'll keep looking though haha.

I really love seeing this in blue, it looks great.
I would love to send you the colour you need, but I wonder how long it would take to get to you in today's world?!

The blues are so different to the purples that mine is showing but they are still really awesome! I love how it's showing up!

The blackwork looks great in your colour way, and yes, they do look like little screw heads!
I love your flowers. Do you follow Johanna Basford? She's been doing some Live videos on FB. She's a lovely person.
I do do like your April quote, someone needs to chart that!
