I know I should not really be having a new start but I could not resist this one! This is a free chart called 'Tante Minna' and can be found on Sylvia's blog *here*. I am stitching on 48ct walnut ink dyed Gander linen with HDF OMG Red 1149. The needle is a 28 Bohin which shows exactly how tiny this will be! For those who love scissors these are Dovo's Victorian Treasures.

I still need to 'finish' Sew Forth and Sew Scattered before photographing them and releasing the charts but the weather is much too nice to stay indoors. Also I actually went to work for two days last week to cover for someone who is sick. It seemed strange to sit in my old office; it seems the lady who sits in there now is rather untidy and I had to clear up the desk before I could start as I really cannot work in a mess. I also had to turn my mind back to using a pc as I think my brain is in 'mac mode' but I soon caught on. I wondered whether to save my pennies but I decided to treat myself to a Kindle instead. I know I can read books on my iPad but, as you know, I like to read outside and the sun reflects badly on the iPad screen. I understand that the Kindle screen is much more easy to read in sunlight.

I have join the French SAL Guimauve et Violette *here*. Two parts have been released so I have to catch up but the parts are quite small so, hopefully, it won't be too much of a problem. I have decided on 38ct nacre Gander linen but have yet to choose my threads.

Thanks for visiting

Take care
