Tranquil Sky

I’m finding myself struggling with the idea of blogging lately. So pictures, not words, today. A finish from Amaryllis Artworks - Tranquil Sky.

I like it, it’s pretty, but… 164 frelling eyelets? What was I thinking?!

Funny that I would stitch something ‘tranquil’, when I’ve been feeling anything but.

Niamh’s birthday on Sunday. Will report back with photos, hopefully.

    Beautiful stitching - well done with the eyelets! I’m struggling with eyelets myself at the moment (and smyrna crosses) they make stitching so slow! ;-)

    Wow, it’s gorgeous, but that many eyelets is far from tranquility. LOL. Belated happy birthday wishes to Niamh. I can’t wait to see some pics. ;)

    Absolutely stunning but I don’t envy you all those eyelets.
