Tapestry

At long last, I've treated myself to a tapestry kit! I was inspired months ago by Simon's aunty (she has beautiful tapestries all over her home; in frames, as cushions and dining room chair seats and she makes them to give as presents!) and now I'm finally all framed up and ready to go!

I found my kit in John Lewis, but it's made by a company called Cleopatra's Needle, you can by them online HERE. The company specialise in Needlepoint and Cross Stitch kits many which are contemporary designs. I've chosen this one,

a herb pillow with brightly coloured Anemones. I've half completed one of the flowers already, and I'll say it is time consuming and there's a lot of counting involved but it's so addictive and actually really therapeutic!! Just can't wait to get home to carry on with it!!

For more traditional tapestry kits, try Ehrman Tapestry. There's some really cool ones on here and I've already created my wishlist!
