This embroidery was stitched 10 years ago, I had problems with the decoration on the Singer sewing machine. I am now working on a picture with another Singer sewing machine in it and having problems with it. Think I have worked out how to do the couching stitch. It is putting the coloured cross stitch in that is not working out. Why is that having to start at the left and work backwards. I usually find it easier to work the other way. Will take a photo tomorrow and see if it is any clearer.
I hate working with gold threads, they dont stay on the thread organisers and you find them all over the house. They have to be tied to the needle and you have to stab the fabric to work it, instead of sliding stitches.
On Friday it would have been my Nana's 100th birthday. I am feeling very sad not because she has died but because my dog Sandy died the week before her 80th birthday, I am missing him so much, how sad is that.
