My Summer Celebration box from the Stitchery arrived – I pre-ordered this months ago.
There was also some Acufactum fabric, which, I think I will use for English Paper Piecing.
I am glad I ordered this. It was quite expensive (especially considering the state of the Australian dollar), but it gorgeous.

I have been working on my February sock. My left twist has improved, but it is still a slow process. The yarn is lovely (it’s from here). We are now watching The Wheel of Time season two.
I have also made some stitching progress. I have run out of the light green silk that I am using for the Ivy ‘veins’, so I have started on the Ivy leaves, which are just straight stitches using all seven strands of the silk (and trying to make them fluffy).
My silk has arrived for my two poems (January and February)
So I need to get back onto them, so I have four stitching projects with deadlines (not terribly hard deadlines)
I am still waiting for my March supplies to arrive, and I haven’t yet decided on a poem.
