Raindrops on roses

We had a gorgeous day today (of course it's raining again now!), however I did manage to:

1) wear my new hat (while the sun was shining)

and

2) finish Rosalie's sewing caddy while the Ladies Final was on at Wimbledon...

Not sure I'll get any sewing done during the Men's tennis final tomorrow!

Lucky lucky

I have never done a stitchery before, but I was delighted to be a winner on Rosalie Quinlan's blog of this gorgeous stitchery pattern...

It arrived yesterday in the mail, and I wanted to get started immediately (great handwork while watching the tennis...)

I didn't have natural-coloured linen or red thread (as in the pattern) so I did it my way...

Thanks Rosalie, I could get addicted to this ;-)
