After lunch, I went out to the studio to do some work on 'Sunset', taking with me a cuppa, which I put on one of my coasters from the Time for Tea swap.
The plan for today was to use these ....
..... to make the 'foam' where the waves break on the sand.
I started by stitching small circles on to the wash-a-way paper .....
I then rinsed the paper away ..... but found that a sticky residue clung to the thread.
I tried stitching another piece with bigger, looser circles, hoping that would let the paer wash away fully, but found that the thread didn't hold its shape - here are the two attempts
one sticky mess and one straggly mess - I definitely need a Plan B!!
One thing I did manage to do successfully, was to fill in the entry form, as I will need to post it before we go on holiday next Saturday
and then I decorated this 'tree' for Easter - it looks very pretty with the sun streaming in through the French doors
