Do you remember this post about Clara, the post where I showed progress with my story book from class? Some of the patterning which has developed during class is now being used to make a drawstring bag for my story book. Up to now there is a single embroidered dress appliqued to a silk surface along with clusters of French knots which will form another pattern further down the line.

Another embroidered dress has been started and in terms of more patterning to go along with the dresses I am thinking buttons, button shapes and maybe some Suffolk puffs.

Thank you for the concern yesterday....I no longer have cold feet....I managed to have a quite good sleep last night but I still have a very annoying and ''wear you down'' cough. It will pass.....(it had better pass).
