Scratching a New Year


I have decided to continue 


recording my days in stitch.
and as it snowed Mark's Donna celebrated a birthday.


We have had the most snow
 and
 the lowest temperatures since moving to the Maritimes.

This year I am going raw edged again.
This year I am going to add smaller bits and pieces
of cloth to a base rather than the long strips used in the past.
This year the stitches might flow from one day to the next.
Every evening after dinner I will sit down and scratch away!

  1. That's a great idea - keeping the idea of the scratchings, but changing some of the application, to keep it fresh.

    On and on and on we go.xx
