Something soft and quiet.









I needed something soft and pastel to round
off my day. A saturday workingday in a shop
can be pretty boisterous, so I often have to brace
myself not to flip :-)
I love silence, and i sometimes wonder whether
it would be better for me to go back to the country-
side one day.
OK,
the needlework i posted here dates from last
summer; i was asked by a fashion student to
embroider some beads, you can see they are very
tiny, i added some confetti as a reference.
The colors were not chosen by myself, but she
gave me a print of an old patch-work to base on.
It was an enchanting colormatch; basically soft oranges,
lilas and greys, creams, some intense reds, anyway,
the little bedspread was a real treasure.
Hope you will enjoy these colors too.
Have a nice weekend everybody :-)

  13. suberlove your blog!

    when i was a little girl, very long time ago, my mother was embroidering an eastern tablecloth. i had the honor of selecting the colors for the tiny eastern eggs on it.
    i still have it.
    i still remember.

    your soft and quiet beads reminded me of that- thanks!

  14. I love the colours! I actually wanted to make a quilt for some twins in that sort of colour scheme! The father didn't want something overly girly, I don't think it is overly girly, but just enough girl in it!

    Your little dots are so precise! I love looking at it!

  15. beautiful stitches. i sometimes think id like to live in the country too. i like the quiet, fresh air, and nature all being close. but the city is nice sometimes too, visiting galleries, cafes etc. i guess we have to compromise somewhere :)

  17. You seem to be a very patient person. How we envy you. We could both need more of that. When we start a project we already dream of the next.
