A day of stitching

Yesterday I had a lovely day of stitching, working on my latest whitework project. It is progressing really well, and I am enjoying seeing it grow and change as it nears completion. I think that I might even have the embroidery finished by the end of the week. Then I’ll need to design the next one and get stuck into it, which will be fun too!

I was thinking that when this one is done, I’ll have two projects where the embroidery is already completed for my book. (The construction still needs to be done.) However, it occurred to me late last night that I have already completed another project, finishing and all.

It is lovely to accidentally find that you are further along than you thought!

I have also been working on the step-by-step instructions for the book, as with this project I have been thinking very much in terms of “how do I explain this technique?” as I have been stitching. Knowing what to put in and what can be left out (usually very little, in my case!) is an important thing to sort out.

When I have figured out what needs to go in, then it needs to be decided the best way and order in which to present the information. All this lovely problem solving to do. I love my work! 🙂
