Dusting off the stump work....And a peep at whats to come !!

Hello all, how's your week end so far ? Well we've got sunshine here in the UK !
I've been out for a walk in the woods with hubby and the dog for an hour and now feel very refreshed !!! My life has been a hive of activity this week so many projects to do but hey, its lovely to have lots of variety and so looking forward to the spring.........Mr Michael Goodes blog    http://michaelgoodes.blogspot.co.uk/
Has some fantastic photography and I just love visiting his posts each day..........
Keep it up Mike !!!
Now to my embroidery.........This is a 'Stumpwork' piece that I did about four years ago and gave as a gift to my Mother-in-law................








She adores this piece....................Then I have a couple of 'BISCORNUS' .......
For those of you who are not aware of this creation...........It is a french, oddly shaped pin cushion and here are two that I have made ....................................

These are very collectable and displayed in basketfuls , I do plan to make more of them.....They are soooooooo pretty !!!!!!
Last but not least a tiny peep at my Bead journal project for February..........I'm
loving this one........................

Loads to do on this project yet....................Have a wonderful, safe and happy weekend folks and thank you so much for your lovely comments......................
Take care  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Thank you very much for the compliment, I do so enjoy my hobby and my viewing numbers are going up.
    Lovely Stump work and great Caterpillar at the bottom. How unusual the pin cushions are and the bead work is coming along fine.

    Regards Mike XX

    The stumpwork is pretty. Love the biscornu, they are great to make aren't they? Your new Bead Project looks really interesting. Are there two fabrics over each other? What an interesting concept. Take care and here's hoping the weather holds for you over the next few days.

    I, too, adore the stumpwork picture, especially the thistle and the caterpillar.
