Spring is here, at least in my embroidery hoop.
This is the first season of my 4 seasons wall hanging for my office. The purple color is a lovely match for the walls.
The pattern is from the book Shadow Redwork by Alex Anderson. I think I'll be making several items from this book as my office is also my bedroom so some throw pillows and pillowcases will be necessary.
The fabric is from curtains I hung when we were selling our old house. It's a plain white cotton and holds up nicely. I have one curtain set aside for a bedskirt, four curtains hanging in the windows and the rest will be used for a quilt, wall hangings, pillow cases and throw pillows. I am really looking forward to making my office/bedroom a cozy space full of hand made items.
For those of you who can't help asking why my office is also my bedroom? Because my husband snores very loudly and I can't take it any more! Once the kids are older and start moving out of the house I'll be able to move my office into the school room and then my bedroom will be just my bedroom.
Tomorrow I should have a photo of Summer.
Also, this morning's breakfast of cinnamon toast went over without a problem. Maybe breakfast will be smoother for a while now.
