Another tiny sample.

I do like a horizontal heart.

Hearts always look to me as if they should topple over anyway.

I like the punchedness of this heart, I can see almost every needlepoint as I've reworked the edges over and over again. I'm using fabrics that I already have but thought I'd go for the sugary, pastel colours to get me a little warmed up for Valentine's day.

I'm enjoying creating more graphic effects with the embellisher. I like the layering and would like to experiment more with building up height. This has obvious limitations, the height of the foot, the width of each strip of potential joining material.

I have committed to starting a part-time day job which I think will begin much sooner than I anticipated. It's an exciting job though with lots of potential for creativity and some time left over for my own projects. I won't get to do that BA in Fine Art yet, but I'm going to continue to develop work and project ideas for textiles and the knitting I love so much.

I think my perennial and, so far, inexhausted appetite for useless telly is going to have to be reduced.

Time for another time review.
