little bit stitchy..

So after crafting myself silly last weekend - the last 48 hours were a little more relaxed and concerned with other things.. however after some time had passed i got out some fabric and began stitching..

This was project 5 in the Penny Black Stamp series, for more info see here.
This month's one was mauve and was inspired by the first Swiss embroidered stamp.
Personally i've just wanted an excuse for some 'random' machine stitching! I enjoyed using the hand dyed cotton i had added to my stash from the craft show.. the subject matter came from the memory of blue butterflies from my English childhood. Just as well it hadn't been an encounter with a wildebeest...
