First blocks started

I have started work on two of the blocks now.  The first is going to be clouds, the second filled with ripple worked over varying numbers of threads and I really like how the pattern is starting to build up.  The light has been really rubbish, but I've finally got a magnifier with a light, and it has made a huge difference.

Back again

 I'm back again after another long gap!  This time I'm working on some experimental embroidery with Tracy.  So far, I've created a 16 square grid on the linen by drawing threads, and then stitching guidelines for each square.  Now I'm looking at whitework stitches and playing around to see what I like.
