Tranquil Sky

I’m finding myself struggling with the idea of blogging lately. So pictures, not words, today. A finish from Amaryllis Artworks – Tranquil Sky.


I like it, it’s pretty, but… 164 frelling eyelets? What was I thinking?!


Funny that I would stitch something ‘tranquil’, when I’ve been feeling anything but.

Niamh’s birthday on Sunday. Will report back with photos, hopefully.

    Beautiful stitching – well done with the eyelets! I’m struggling with eyelets myself at the moment (and smyrna crosses) they make stitching so slow! ๐Ÿ˜‰
