My grandmother gave me a few things I needed to start embroidering (about a year and a half ago). For the longest time, it has been sitting beside my bed. Waiting. I then ordered the book Doodle-Stitching, but again, it was added to the embroidery pile and left. Waiting.
So often, I find myself with many, many ideas for things I want to create. Yet, they stay just as ideas. (Most of the time, I tell myself I just don't have the space for said creations... Which does play a role...) Last night, I started some free-hand embroidery using the book for tips on the different types of embroidery stitches.
Above is the start of something... nothing actually planned, other than to explore the different stitches and try a few things out. I do need to get a few more tools, but I might just wait until I am on vacation and can more easily access them (the drawback, for me, of living in the city).
