The first rose
The hardanger tassel is about half done but somehow tonight I cannot settle to it. The rosebud is not showing up too well in this terrible photograph but you get the general idea. Ten DMC colours for this tiny little rosebud. I need to do the eyelets in all the pieces but roses come first.
We have had a cold wet week and more of the same forecast for the weekend. Each night this week, instead of lighting the gas heater I have had the oven on and been cooking. Biscuits one night, a chocolate slice another and tonight the smell of gingerbread permeates my house. So the baking for the next two weeks is done and I can have a sleep in tomorrow- or maybe not. There are still several items on the To Do List.

Oh Margaret, that rose! It's so tiny and delicate. Can't wait to see the finished piece.
Gosh, what a detailed little rosebud! This is going to be a beautiful piece.
Beautiful! I like delicate little flowers like this.
Very detailed Margaret, not the kind of stitching to do when watching television:-)
I've not baked for such a long time and yet I used to find it so relaxing.
This is striking, Margaret.

The rosebud is lovely - but who would think that something so small has so many thread colours in it!
