A grey day & top stitching

The light for taking photos is swiftly disappearing, flash was necessary for the square pic today - I didn't want to drag the 'hanging' they're on thru the rain as even in the greenhouse it's pretty dim. We've had what some people (especially those on holiday expecting views) would call foul weather. Autumn is here, but I just wait for those intense bursts of sun lighting up the sails of those few intrepid boats in the Sound set against the deep purple grey of the rainclouds, followed by a beautiful rainbow, sometimes double, which settles on our village; truly our pot of Gold.

This weeks squares -


cut up swim suit sticky lable found in that certain place, bit's & pieces on my desk, the power of football, loosing scratchcards, bits by my sewing machine & for Corrine a nod to Beryl Taylor - I'll keep practicing.

Would you look at this top stitching!!!!!! Never been so neat before. I had to unpick one side as I fell off the nipple (can we say that?!) There is one stich that is kinked but as it's a satiny fabric I won't unpick again. The fabric is plain but all the watermarks have show up in the pic. Reminds me of my scientific module at college, photographing crystal growth thru polarising filters. I wonder where I'd be if I'd gone the scientific route in photography instead of the commercial route?
