Thanks Liri. Yes I hadnt thought of it looking like an embroidery, but now that you've pointed that out, I agree. This book is "Lost Ocean" and is all marine themed. There are 4 books in all and I'm keen to have them all. (Greedy, but can't resist).
We've been showered with gifts from China. I can't think where else to post photos, soputting them here. In case people dont know our Son has just returned from a student trip to China.
Tea Service
Bowl that sits under tea service, I assume to put hot water in to keep it warm.
Jewellery box box for me.
new colouring book for me as well. Already started trying out various pens to test paper quality. It's really good!
Visited the Vendée Quilt exhibition yesterday - stalls selling all sorts of goodies for crafters, exhibition of quilts including a competition themed on the Vendée Globe single-handed, non stop, round the world yacht race which starts on Sunday 6th, winning quilts form a previous competition themed on migrants and assorted other quilts, quilters and workshops. Found info on patchwork groups I can join to learn more skills so an excellent visit.
Lovely projects folks, thanks for posting. Here is the birth sampler I stitched for my grandson. It matches the quilt I posted earlier. Have only just got it framed, a bit late as he was born in April. Mind you he has only been in his own bedroom for a couple of months.
I'd given up on cross stitch and embroidery but yesterday OH treated me to a daylight lamp with a magnifying glass that I can use as a standard, desk or sewing machine lamp. I'll be back at it once I finish the scarf I started knitting last winter - not a natural knitter and have managed to choose a complicated stitch pattern. Need something to do with my hands on quiet evenings at home with TV.

I like the theme of that one Pat.
I really must get back to my books too, now that the nights are drawing in.
Your "marine" colouring looks like an embroidery, Pat. Very pretty.
Lovely mouse, Karen!

Yes, I agree, Muddle-up. Pity I'm half asleep, and it's only 7.40pm, - late night last night and no sleep-in this morning.

That's lovely Yvie. Well done.

Love the sampler for Jonah, Yviestevie.
