This is my favourite embroidery piece (with hand crocheted edging) that my mother did.
She’s always been more interested in doing the crochet than the embroidery, so there are lots of doilies and things in the cupboard.
Beautiful. What a piece of art!
That’s really really nice, so many different embroidery stitches, many of them traditional dating back to the Elizabethan Era.
Just want to add that this is a very good piece and worth framing. It’s a good example of women’s art and culture. Your mum had a good sense of history and culture. 🙂
( I’m that nerd who goes to the V&A and buys the books on historic embroidery )
It would be the different stitches that attracted her to the design - she’s always hated doing lots of satin stitch and preferred using different fill stitches.
those fill stitches are what drew my eye , and the circles that frame each design like a late medieval miniature
That is a beautiful piece of work.
That looks mint. Maybe I should take up embroidery
Embroidery is a nice hobby - it is very meditative. This sort of embroidery takes a fair bit of practice to get right because you have to judge the position of the needle and size of stitches evenly, but things like cross stitch are usually done on fabric with evenly spaced holes to guide you. It is not too complicated but gives you something to do with your hands, and it gives you just enough to do with your conscious brain that you don’t get bored without taking up all your attention, so most of your brain has space to process things and do some quality sub-conscious thinking.
That is absolutely gorgeous ❤️
I’m loving these paid naps hey. Lol
Winning.

Tomorrow morning, I have a psychiatrist appointment for ADHD. Maybe after I get meds, I won’t have “big feelings” anymore. But that might just be the suspected 'tism. Who knows at this point?
And who cares?
Cheers 🍻
Good luck! It will be good either way, adhd or something else, they will be able to give you guidance. Be completely honest even if you think somethings embarrassing, because it will help greatly in getting it right.
Thank you :)
I know exactly what you mean.
Mine definitely shrunk to what I consider a manageable size.
Well. I’ve been playing video games and napping most of the day. Time for guitar I guess?
Double roll!
she is very cheeky …lol
Give her a hug or leave her house
Fuck you insomnia
Not armchair diagnosing, but could it be ADHD meds that are keeping you awake?
All good :)
I have been taking a sleeping pill since I started the adhd meds, but the other ones I could try have horrible side effects.
I think I’ll go to a sleep clinic.
My kid did a very important biology test today. We all put in a bet and will be eagerly anticipating results.
Me: 96%
The man: 85%
The kid: 75%
The dog: N/A
Dog wins. Kiddo forgot to put their name on the test (we’ve all been there).
Wouldn’t surprise me.
dog needs to get it together, seriously.
I think he rolled his eyes.
Over at the p’s… so naturally means tech support. Jeez they panic.
It’s sort of ironic. Back in the day as kids they’d slightly try and limit our screen time (pre smart phones)… talkin’ N64 days… confiscating that shit mid lylat wars / waveracer / 1080 binges like despotic barbarians. Now they beg to keep all their shit working and can’t function without their devices. I’d love to see another carrington event.
Lol I see the same with my mother who was draconian about limiting use of the PC (also pre smartphones - but no consoles at home) and is now mindlessly addicted to puzzle games on her phone. so bad she would sometimes text me when in the same house rather than come talk to me
I’m a betting gal. I bet fat finger.
yup :)
My grandma made Geoffrey the dog steamed fish, rice, and pasta. He ate none of it. But I gave him 20 of these little treats yesterday, because that’s all he’ll eat.
We are trying lots of different things.
Geoffrey oughta be more grateful!
When my dog was old and loosing appetite, I would boils some chicken thighs and then shred it up in the broth, he seemed to like it. Chicken soup basically.
He got some chicken tonight and he liked it. Thanks for the suggestion :)
Today I am looking at removalists. I have an end leave date 4 weeks from now. I need some special boxes too. Not too difficult to pack as I have done all the sorting already. 🙂
It will be a bit spenny but worth it because …beeeeach ⛱️🩴🌊😎

Haha, was confused if I forgot yesterday.
I’ve been organising moving house. I totes forgot Feb has 28 days and thought I had an extra 3 days to do things. I have a desk calendar I look at everyday. 😐
I have to do some actual work today. Lame lol
Haha.
