Here is an update of Camille Jullien SAL. Not too much progress - just the A-F of the larger alphabet.  I have no idea why the fabric looks so grey when it's actually an off-white. The scissors are Kelmscott's miniature gold storklets - aren't they just the cutest of scissors? These come in a variety of colours and are available *here*. Why not have a pair to co-ordinate with each of your projects you are stitching? After all you can never have too many pairs of scissors!

Our mini heatwave is almost over but I certainly enjoyed it while I could. I took a walk to the seafront at 4.30am one morning last week to see if I could get some sunrise pictures but alas there was too much cloud cover but the top left hand picture certainly shows how it might have been. It was so quiet at that time of the morning - no traffic and the only person I saw was a guy also waiting for some sunrise pictures! I returned later in the day for more pictures. 

Thanks for visiting

Take care
