With hubby away for a couple of nights, I've been busy doing some stitching. I think the Topiary block is one of my favourites from In Full Bloom.
And another month closer to finishing Tis the Season.
Lots of bloggers collect thimbles or other small objects, I thought I'd show you how I display mine. I bought this wooden printers tray on eBay a year or two ago. It will be a while before it's full, but if you enjoy miniature things it's a great way to display them. I have also seen trays covered in glass and used as a coffee table top. I left the tray as is with runners and handle rather than taking them off and pretty-ing it up.
It was so warm yesterday that we didn't even have the fire alight, although the toes are a little chilly this morning. Hoping to spend some time in the sunshine today............and maybe a little more stitching.
