How we spend our time

Making a little walking through the lanes
of the town Hvar on Island Hvar, Croatia,
in the evening. They are too narrow for cars.
People are sitting and eating
------
Promenade alongside the riva (quay) with shining cobblestones
of many centuries of feet-polishing at day and night
when people go out to catch air and meet friends
or show themselves to others.
Yaughts are also making shining the water in
extraordinary colours.
 
Old bench alongside a house in the main plaza.
I am doing some stitches.
This seems to be a sample of "hole-making" -
pulling threads. But also other stitches. I have a faible
for pulled threads. I am inventing - my library is at home.
 
Then DH's birthday with a "wonderful" weed-flower bouquet

the simple way of celebrating during holidays --

 

there was also a visit in the icecream shop but

it ended in an accident when the waiter spilled

the hot espresso over my white trousers.

I should have made photos ... but who would think

of shooting when you are burned with coffee.

I ran to the toilet to "dilute" the colour.

Pulled stitches - a new love

My pulled threads are beginner's stitches
Annet told me where to find a little tutorial on her blog
 

Annet's blog was a great help (here)

I might turn it into a little pillow for lavender - back at home.

This is a vacation work.
