February seems to have whizzed by, this last week especially. And now it is the 1st of March. The sun is shining! Well to be fair this is the third day in a row of sunshine and it looks set to continue for the next week. We have had a couple of very white frosty mornings - but I really don't mind when it is followed by sunshine.
My Stitch Journal has progressed this week - this was my week.
And here is the month of February.
I now have some nice new threads to use in my journal as I have opened up a few of the jars that have been stashed in my airing cupboard since the beginning of the month. Very happy with these!
The lovely blue is from black bean soaking water. Darker than my previous blue but not a problem. The middle one is an unused teabag (I have another jar with two used teabags in to compare) and the bottom one is brown onion skins. Very happy with that yellow as where the threads actually touched the onion skin they are darker which gives a lovely variegated effect. It will nice to have more choice of threads to use now.
This months Chookshed Challenge number is #2 which is to turn last years Stitch Journal pages into a book and it is a big one. As I have secret stitching to do this month and I would like to complete the selvedge bag, I have swapped it for my #9 which is this lavender bag kit which I picked up for peanuts at a local house clearance warehouse. Shouldn't take me very long and it will be nice to have it made and in use.
Right, I had better get cracking, lots to do this month including the final quilting on Wings and Pretty Things.
