Stitching and a book cover

It is quite long time since I have been sewing with my machine. On these days I am hooked on hand stitching. Just sitting and taken few stitches…

without knowing actually what I want to do,just letting my thoughts to fly…

..I love birds and orange..these leafs have touch of velvet.

My daughter gives me her diary, she needs a book cover. I want to give her my bird with the leafs and few stitches. So the work starts:

I finished late in the evening.

And today I started my day with this lovely view..

Have a nice day and a lovely week! Till next time!  x Anneli
