Just a quickie...

It's Sunday and I am planning on doing some drawing today (honestly) but thought I better get a quick post out during naptime.

This page is all I've managed since the last post:

Note chubby, oats-covered hand of my 'photographic assistant'.

As you may have guessed from the subject matter, I have been spending most of my free time (i.e. bed- and naptime) attempting to sew stuff. A week or so ago I finally completed the growth chart. It was my first ever attempt at...I hesitate to say 'embroidery'...let's say 'hand-stabbing cloth with needle and thread'...but I'm happy enough with the result. I didn't even attempt hand-stitching the binding I just went with an artistic (cough, cough) wavy machine stitched line. But despite dubious technical execution the lovely Echino fabric saves the day.

Many thanks to Sarah at Narcoleptic in a cupboard for the design tips. (Don't stare at the binding Sarah...it'll make you queasy!)
