My train is still on British Summer Time!

I've found the packaging from the yarn my husband dropped off for me to work on in quarantine last month..

Little beastie I found at the Jerónimos monastery in Belem, Lisbon. Painted in gouache.

Feeling a bit pleased with some £watercolours I finished today, using photos from an excavation in Egypt during the Twenties.

This is my current #crochet project - pinned out so I can track down the origin of an errant chain-space. #fiberarts #yarnuary

Really rather proud of this: "Leaving The Tyne, 1915" is going to be exhibited in Liverpool Cathedral as a part of "100 Hearts", the Embroiderers Guild commemoration of the end of the first world war.
And very much looking forward to seeing what others have done..

Struggling with this. Fun, though.. @karenshancock have you come across one of these?

So there was a pop-up yarn show in the village. Do I now need to invest in a ball-winder? #crochet #textiles #fiberarts #fibrearts

I'm really pleased with the success of my insane crossover of #goldwork and #trapunto. There is an immense satisfaction in seeing what was in "the inward eye" take form in reality. #embroidery #fiberarts #DreamsOfAmarna #AkhenatenEmbroidery

User interface design fails aren't just in software!

Finished and sent off to the #Embroiderers Guild to form part of the #100Hearts Exhibition commemorating the end of the First World War.

Dedicated to the memory of the men of the merchant fleet, and in particular the many immigrants and naturalised citizens who, sometimes in the face of xenophobic hostility, continued to serve their adopted country faithfully and well, and brought up their children to think of it as home.

In especial memory of my great grandfather Henry Frederick Bloom.

Now I've done version two of Tynemouth Priory, I have to decide which of the two to use in the finished piece. And how to make it work.

I'm testing my ideas for representing Tynemouth Priory in #embroidery. The #needlelace is only tacked on as the whole of the sky is going to be removed.

It's a lovely colour, but the pattern is proving perplexing! #crochet #textiles #fibrearts #fiberarts

Experimenting with a snowball yarn. It's more interesting than you might think . #crochet #textiles #fiberarts

Progress is being made in my #crochet project. Lovely colour change in this yarn. #textiles #fibrearrts #fibrearts

I'm finding that the chart for this #crochet pattern is making more and more sense as I use it. Isn't that pleasing! https://mathstodon.xyz/media/RR5WSW_OEkDN_ruSNYY

Today I have been working on the Robin kit my mother gave me for Christmas so I would learn #SilkShading. #embroidery

I'm beginning to glue the Eve in the Garden of Eden box. Glue and months of careful hand embroidery make a truly terrifying combination!

I decided to start a new pair of #crochet socks last week. Progress! #yarnuary #textiles
