I spent pretty much all of Saturday afternoon stitching and all of Sunday (from 11am to 10pm) stitching. When I think of the number of hours I can’t help but think it doesn’t look like I’ve done much, but there was lots of tea breaks etc 😉

Anyway I was so pleased with what I managed over the weekend that I couldn’t wait to show you!

You can now see the size of the basket and I did part of the basket handle so it’s a rough overall size for it, though there is a lot of background and table to go above and below the basket. You can even start to see some little kitty heads forming!

I think I’m going to continue working on the basket, there is a lot of it which required two threads each a different colour (is that still called tweeding or did I make that up?) It will be great to add some real colour to it soon, not that browns and blacks aren’t coloured but you know what I mean 🙂 What do you think?
