Finished order

Below is the order I was talking about in a previous post. They were made for children and will be framed and hung in their bedrooms. These were especially made after the customer had seen similar smaller ones for sale. I find it quite scary to take commissions, because it worries me that the final pieces won't be liked – but in this case the children were really happy with them.


Below is a close-up of the flowers. When I came to stitch around the edge of the daisy in the middle, I used variegated yellow thread for the centre and then wondered whether the petals would stand out better from the background if I edged them in yellow too. I couldn’t visualise what it would look like, so I made a sample daisy to try it. I’m glad I did because it looked awful, so the main picture is edged in white and looks just right.

Oh I can’t get the hang of formatting these blog posts. Every time a picture is inserted it goes haywire. I find I have to edit it far too many times to get it to look right. It drives me mad. Does anyone else have this problem? Today I am writing this in Word and hoping that when it gets published it will be better.

Ipswich didn’t play this weekend, which is probably a good thing as they ended on Tuesday evening losing 0-3 to Southampton at home. This won’t help their play-off places at all.

See you again
