Moving minster

This has been the first week of the year when I haven't actually finished anything so 17 projects remain on the to-do list. Am I glum? Not a bit! This piece has languished for five years and the fact that this week I have managed to move it forward makes me very happy. The machine embroidery on the apple casket gave me the confidence to free machine the blue carpet with a tendril /paisley pattern. I have also used black velvet ribbon to make the pattern on the flooring. When I come back to this I now know the next couple of 'moves', it isn't haunting me any more.
What is really nice is that his came about after a sketching day in York minster so I have a sketchbook of observations. Each element was observed from the minster itself and I hope because of this it will have a real feel if the place when it's finished.

When I do finish it though I will have to find a longer term hanging method than getting Will to hold it up.

This weeks project from the list is to clear my stock- the bed is covered in things to be photographed and listed on Folksy. I hope I can move on some bits and bobs to continue to clear the slate and free up some storage space for whatever I produce as part of the City and Guilds.

This blog usually isn't a food blog- except for the occasional birthday cake- but I have been given a cook book to review so tonight's tea will be the next post, along with a little review- of the dinner and the book! (unless I completely bugger it up in which case please be kind enough never to mention it again!)
