The heat is on to get things finished this week. First up my mirror work sample. To follow should be my landscape experimental sampler and if possible my 3D item - just waiting to use the new belt sander.....

Soggy Kitty

I cycled into work today (as part of Bike2Work week)- despite it pouring with rain. Needed to prove to myself that I could do it, 2 months ago the thought of cycling 7 miles and then doing a full days work was unthinkable but now I can and cycle home afterwards. The ride itself apart from very wet was alright: I found it a little tougher than expected, possibly because I usually cycle in the afternoon when I have woken up properly. After a nice warm shower had the best cappucino - things taste better when you have really earnt it.

Stitch Samples

Wanted to put this up as a animated gif but it kept on being converted to a jpeg by hello. so created this photo montage instead. The perverse pixie in me chose the lurid colours. Also used some of my hand dyed threads and played with the threads to see what was possible - guess thats the whole point of stitch samples.
