I have to admit that I have quite settled into lockdown mode, but, if I am honest, I am really beginning to miss a good old Monday morning mooch round the charity shops of Evesham ……. and goodness only knows when I’ll finally be able to indulge again.
This was my very last purchase, the day before the shutters went down ……
……. now, I rarely delve amongst the picture boxes, but this unframed cross stitch caught my eye, mainly because of the subject matter and the workmanship and hours someone had put into it ……… and it cost me all of 40p, how could I leave it there?
There’s not a lot I can do with it for the next little while, it doesn’t fit any of the spare frames I have stored under the bed which is a pity and I’m not sure if, when framed, I will actually keep it, as my shelves and wall space are pretty much full, however, as there doesn’t seem to be an end to lockdown on the horizon, I reckon I have plenty of time to think about it’s future!
That's a great find. Maybe Iris would like it for her room.
ReplyDeleteAs an avid cross stitcher it breaks my heart that pieces end up unwanted. This is perfect. You can do more than frame this piece. Why not try making a pin cushion from it with some extra fabric or a little cushion. It must have taken hours to complete. I always think that handmade things are undervalued. 40p?...... a little treasure ...
