Butterfly Alphabet

It’s chaos at home at the moment, chaotic and very dusty! This week builders have started on our kitchen/dining room so walls have been knocked down, steel joists put up…you get the picture! The dust gets everywhere!! I know I’ve been very quiet on here, I have been stitching a lot, but even my computer has been under dust sheets! I’ll do a few catch up posts over the next couple of weeks!

I hid my butterfly embroidery away so it wouldn’t get dusty too but last night I decided it was safe to get it out again!

Three weeks ago I’d just started this DMC kit…

I did manage to do a couple more letters before the building work started and last night I started the letter E…

I’m really enjoying stitching this piece, it’s pretty and delicate but not too complex to do.

This stitch-a-long is organised by Avis of Stitching by the Sea, we post our progress on a piece every three weeks, just enough to keep motivated! Please follow the links to see what everyone else is stitching.

About craftycreeky

I live in a busy market town in Yorkshire with my husband, kids, dogs and chickens. I love trying new crafts, rediscovering old ones, gardening, walking...anything creative really I started this blog after my New Year resolution worked so well. My resolution (the first one I've ever kept!) was to post a photograph of my garden on Facebook every day. My hope was that I would then see what was good in the garden and not just weeds and work, which was my tendency. The unexpected side-effect was that I have enjoyed many more hours in the garden. I am hoping that 'The Crafty Creek' will have the same effect. Happy creating!

    I think this is the perfect project during the renovations! Short and sweet little bits that show project and still be put away quickly!

    I love projects like this where you can have multiple mini-finishes. Kathy is right, it’s perfect for a period where you have to pick up and put away your work.

    So pretty and delicate. The dust and upheaval will be worth it in the end, just take sanctuary in your sewing room in the mean time
