On to The Next

Well...hubbie's jumper is finished so I can go on to knitting my own cardigan

By the way...I decided on the red coloured wool.

I think because I liked it when I saw it on the front of the pattern

I also want to start on some tapestry now that it's lighter in the evening and I can put my frame in the garden room!

I bought the tapestry of the sunflowers

because it reminded me of a course that I went on in one of the colleges in Oxford.

When we had time off a couple of us went to the botanic gardens there

and I have never seen such an abundance of different sunflowers!

They were tall..and short

yellow and brown and all sorts of other shades!

Unfortunately

I didn't take a picture of the sunflowers to show you

but

I can show you a picture of me in front of another border!

The tapestry of the sunflowers I finished last year and got my husband to make me a frame

for a firescreen.  The frame is made from the wood of trees grown on our farm!

He is cross with me as he says I gave him the wrong measurements......

Whether I did...or didn't is not the issue

(actually I didn't!)

But I think it would not have looked right in a frame that just fit the tapestry!

Anyway...I leave it to you to judge!

and...yes...I know that it's a bit off square

(first thing I saw)

but the man who framed it did it as a favour and I just couldn't complain....

when I saw it straight away...

...and he was looking at it so proudly!

I know...I was a pussy cat and, normally, I would have asked for it to be done properly!

I also did a long stitch tapestry of poppies (as a bit of quick relief) for a friend who loves poppies



So...what now??

 I have several canvases that I have bought over the years....

 and am not quite sure which one to start on.

I have to say  I do prefer trammed tapestries as they seem more hardwearing and, also,

it can be easier knowing which colour is which!

I will look a few out these next few days and make my mind up....

or....

perhaps...

we'll see..........!

As a follow up to my story on the rabbits............

Guess what I saw on the front lawn today??

Yes I think you could be right.....

Lets just take another look

Yes...definitely...it's them again!!

and finally....................

just to finish.......

I met a friend for coffee after I finished physio on Saturday

and couldn't believe my eyes

Happy Easter!!
