How one thing leads to another ... and another ...

Sew-Amy  left me a message recently, requesting that I show more of the embroidery in  this post . I had intended to post the finished article, but since it is not likely to be finished for some time (!), here is the progress thus far:


Inspired by Janelle's gorgeous journal covers, here , here , here and here , I was keen to make one up myself. Then I happened across the Sweet Tidings blog , and this post . Which in turn led to the lovely Elsa Mora blog and a free embroidery design .



This little design had whimsy written all over it for me!


And what better title for a journal for me than 'Whimsy'?! Stitched on linen with the lovely variegated DMC colours that Natalie used for this project .


So the embroidery is done, and all that remains is to make up the cover. Who knows when that will happen!
