I've been choosing thread colours for a new project.
Hubby has very kindly agreed to make a cross stitch pattern from a small part of the Royal Winton bowl I blogged about recently. So I've been picking out colours to match.
A wee cup of tea and a slice of cake were needed for concentration purposes, of course! The boxes in the background are where I store my threads.
All I have to do now is print off the pattern and try it out.
Will get on with it once I've finished a little project which is in the hoop at the moment. I've decided that I will not start projects till I've finished one. (Hope I can keep to that!)
Will keep you up to date with progress.
Love, Liz
PS - Thanks to those who answered the question about the missing words on the maker's mark on the dish I showed in yesterday's blog post. They were "Burgess & Leigh".

How lovely to meet a fellow Scot (although technically speaking, I am Swiss and Italian, but my home is in Scotland).
I look forward to seeing your stitching project come to life.
Stitching colours and thread are such fun. Love your Royal Winton Bowl. I have a few pieces that are left of my mum's tea set. She collected it in the fifties as a young bride.
