Another bookmark and a bit of progress

This week's catch up is short as I haven't actually done much stitching. Friday night our friends came for dinner and it was so nice to feel back to normal after 10 months of upturned lifestyle. I love entertaining and was very pleased with how the table looked this time. 

Ready for our dinner guests
It was Justine's birthday last week and I stitched her a bookmark using Weeks Dye Works Begonia. I am really enjoying blackwork, it's very therapeutic

I have finished another gift but that is still secret for a few more days ssshhhhhh!

Wednesday night I joined the lovely ladies at Needlework Haven in The Parlour - it's our get together in cyber space each week hahaha. Sampler Bouquet is coming along nicely and I'm hoping to get a little more completed tonight or tomorrow as we're then away for a couple of days.

  1. Thank you again for my lovely bookmark, it's so pretty and your blackwork is very neat! Your table looks beautiful. You're off on holiday again already?! Bet DH wishes he'd retired years ago! Hope you have a lovely time.

  2. Your stitched bookmark is so lovely. I'm always hesitant to make one for a gift nowadays since so many people read on a device - it's a bit disconcerting to give a gift of a bookmark and be told 'I don't read books' - I'm never sure whether to apologize, take the bookmark back or just ignore it. :)
