Work in Progress Wednesday - 31st July

This is what I've been working on this week, it's now 71% complete. My aim for this year was to get it to 75% and then move on to the next project in my pile of WIPS. It may be that Four Horses of the Apocalypse sees daylight sooner than I expected.

A new adventure in finishing today...

I'm hoping to turn this into a cover for the folder that I use to organise my household affairs. It's a new adventure as I've never done a book cover from fabric before but I'm sure it will all work out in the end!

July Stitchathon is over!

  And here is Blumenweise Im Raster @ 67% complete :)

There are some things that make painful days better

A yummy red velvet cupcake for afternoon tea (thanks Costco)

And new stash found at the Swallowfield Car Boot Sale & the new buttons from the Community Furniture Project.

I found another treasure

Another treasure found in the curio/junk/antique shop in town. The maker is BB Wells. I found out he is Benjamin Blake Wells who was born in Dunstable in 1817, he lived at 431 Strand and had his shop there (the address is on the scissors) and died in 1881. The case originally had a thimble but this was missing. I love the wear caused by stitcher's taking the scissors out of their case over the years. They were probably gold plated but this has almost completely worn off.
