Blackwork Chinese Landscape

 The Landscape completed, now to workout how to display it.

Richard

In Halong Bay, Vietnam

Richard is no longer with us. A friend for 50 years with lots of happy times spent together in many places round our planet featured in the 15 posts accessed via the 'Richard' label-link below.  

Of course, in the early days we didn't photograph our daily doings the way we do now. Shame really, not to have captured moments like being driven around Manchester stuffed into the back of Richard's Reliant Three Wheel Van, aka Only Fools and Horses.

RIP my Friend

Time off from Sewing to See the Sea

Is that the Sun or the Moon? 

T'was the sun. The Knap in the distance.

Gek in winter cladding casting a midday shadow, looking forward to a lunch at Mrs Marcus's Cafe.

Kookaburra

 Five down, four to go, in the bird collection.

And so on to Sewing

Cross stitch flowers for Gek.

Using a chinese painting,

Gek created a drawing for counted back stitch for me,

to make a blackwork scroll, the idea being to mount the finished work on a rotating drum.  Hmm, let's see how it goes. 

It is Saturday Again

Prep for char kway teow,

 and away we go. char, char char!!!!

Autumn

 

Colours of the season with a very lush green carpet.

Although the poppies are still popping,

and the peas are still podding.  Very peculiar for mid November, no?
