Stitching Sundays 1

 Well, here I am at the start of my little embroidery project as part of Stitching Sundays, organised by Chrissie.  What have I done so far?  Well, I have gathered new needles and an embroidery hoop and some material to stitch on - I have chosen calico (because I have extra in case things go wrong...which of course they won't).
 Some of the lovely bits and pieces I'll be using.
 I am just choosing a design from this rather gorgeous book, which has simple and quirky images which don't seem to be too daunting for a beginner, but I'll let you know once I have started stitching.
I do like this one, but simplified a bit and just using the autumn leaves section.  Now I need to stop prevaricating and make a start!
