Sundays do seem to come round quickly, although when I can have a day doing what I would like to do, it's wonderful! I spent this morning lazing around in my dressing gown, thinking about my next embroidery project and investigating my home made felt stash to find suitable colours.
This afternoon, having got dressed (!) I made a start while listening to the Classic serial on Radio 4 (Anthony Trollope's Barchester Towers), which was so enjoyable! If you missed it, here's a
link - well worth a listen. Anyway, I digress...
I chose four colours from my stash and found that I had subconsciously chosen exactly the colours I had used in my winter bunting!
I also found out that the colours seem to be popular in Scandinavian craft work. I am making circular decorations with different stylised snowflake patterns on them and so far, I have finished one.
I also really like the little Scandinavian-inspired birds featured on the background and am going to make a couple of them to join the Winter seasonal tree. These are from one of the gorgeous books my lovely husband bought me for Christmas.
Here it is and if you like 1950s and 1960s inspired designs and the cool colours of Scandinavian interiors, I can guarantee you'll love this book! Details can be found
here. So, a really nice project to be getting on with, while listening to the machinations of the clergy in Barchester. A perfect Sunday, really.
