Well, maybe not full blown parrot ones, but they are tulipish. I'm going for jacobean style, that could change but at the moment its going okay. I spent the day looking for stitch ideas and colours which of course led me off course. Found some stuff I had been looking for. 20 minutes extended into a couple of hours and since I was all fired up after the drawing out, scrapping, drawing out again I put the first few stitches in. It felt good knowing that all I needed to do was 20 minutes. I was allowing myself those 20 mins to craft anything after that was a bonus. No guilt over me time, no feeling that I had to do it. I still really would like to do the parrot one, but that would be a big job, one that would take me a while to do and I haven't found the right flower yet anyway. The design I'm doing now I feel could develop into one for submission. So when finished it will go into my design folder.
Nothing much else to tell today, still raining, grass is still growing like mad and I'm lounging about in my jami's as usual. School went back today after the long summer break. I don't have kids that young anymore but we live just a few hundred yards away from the little village school so now I have my time keeping back. I know when to eat lunch and when I should be getting dinner on etc.
