Motivation from Missi

I love doing tapestry and having looked around on ebay I found a tortoiseshell tapestry but the cost of it was so expensive I decided to look around to see what kits I could find.

My husband kindly took me to Shrewsbury last Thursday to visit needlework shops to see what I could find.

We found a lovely lady who suggested I drew a photograph of Missi onto canvas and obtain a few threads at a time to do a tapestry of her.

So I bought some blank canvas and thread threads and came home.

I found a photograph of Missi's head and set to work. I haven't drawn on the canvas instead I have started the tapestry as if I was drawing it straight on to the canvas.

My husband has seen my efforts so far and is really impressed. I won't be happy until I see the end product but so far it is going well.

So long as I am happy with what I have achieved that is what matters most.

Best wishes
