Finally a stitchy update:

The first wip I've picked now I'm back to my rotation is The Drawn Thread's Sunflower Bellpull:

The Drawn Thread Sunflower Bellpull - progress 10-04-2011

The Drawn Thread - Sunflower Bellpull, 2000
stitched using the recommended threads and linen
(you can see my previous progress here)

I've started a new small project for those times when I have the chance to put a few stitches in. After a lengthy stash dive I decided to go for Just Nan's 20 Flowers scissor case.

Just Nan - 20 Flowers progress 10-04-2011

Just Nan - 20 Flowers, 2004
stitched using the kit materials

I also treated myself to a new tote for my wips. I've liked Orla Kiely patterns for a long time but her bags are usually out of my price range, so when I found that my local supermarket is selling this canvas tote for charity I had to get one.

Nice WIPs! I love Ora Kiely too, but like you, have only admired and not bought. Lucky you to find that tote!

I don't know about Ora Kiely - since I am such a "bag lady" - I have to find out straight away about these bags. Love your DT piece - you'll be done soon and your new start looks like fun. Hope the kids enjoy Easter. Melody

Lovely update Karoline, look forward to seeing more of the Just Nan piece.

Love your finish, the sunflowers are so pretty. I love Orla's bags too and am a bit jealous you found such a cool tote for you WIPs that is her design. What a great find!
