Making progress on Itsy in my silk shading diploma with the RSN.
Taking a long time, but worth the effort - I think I've captured her character so far! x

Wonderful teaching from Helen McCook as always and a lovely group of fellow stitchers! x

Was great to go and see my Celtic Dragon at the Broderers Exhibition at Bank Side Gallery in London at the weekend alongside all the other amazing pieces of embroidery on display - fantastic work - all very inspiring!!
It was even more exciting to discover that my Dragon has been SOLD!! I really didn't expect that - hope he's going to a good home!! 😊🐉xx

Grumpy Owl is delighted to join me in wishing all customers a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!! A special thank you to everyone who has attended any of my workshops or bought kits from me - as a small business your support really means a lot - thank you! 😊xx

Finally after over 12 months I've managed to attend a class with the RSN in Rugby and I've made some progress on my silk shading of our cat Itsy - so far I'm pleased with how she is looking - silk shading is a tricky type of embroidery, using single strands of DMC thread. For me, goldwork which I have done quite a bit of is much easier!!! 😅

Many thanks to tutor Helen McCook for all your help with this piece!
