Patch Exchange

In December last year Erin of gatherwhatspills  had put out a call for a patch exchange on Instagram. 

I started work on my patch in January. The starting point were these beer bottle crowns which I flattened out. The husband had got himself some Simba stout and the lion on the crown is a cool dude with sunglasses so I decided that would be my starting point.

Added line after line of embroidery.

And ended up with this. The finished patch. Ready to be posted this week to my exchange partner in Washington DC.

  I've made a couple of round patches which will  be available in my Etsy store along with a few other things. Here's the link to my Etsy shop - millionstitches
We're already in February. Time really flies.
Have a good week.

Landscapes painted with mist

 

It's the monsoon season, the north east monsoon. 

I sit out on the deck with the dogs and the landscape keeps changing.

The mist paints a new picture for me to view every other moment.

I'm a sunshine person and I'm waiting for the clear blue skies and warm toasty days of winter to arrive but for the moment I am enchanted by the dynamic mist painted landscape.

I'm excited about a Patch Swap in February. If you are looking for a small project to start the new year with, this might be just the thing. Find out more at gatherwhatspills on Instagram.
