Week Three - Summer of Colour

 I've just finished off my next entry for Summer of Colour. I realise that I am super quick and efficient this week, but I have to be as next week I am going away. A very kind friend of mine, Ang from Tracing Rainbows has agreed to pop the linky up for me next Monday so all should be well.
 But without further ado here is Baseball nut with his ribbons of raspberry swirl and pecans. I found this weeks prompt quite hard to plan, possibly because I have never heard of this flavour before being a Brit. I've opted for deep purple and blue threads mixed together for the fly stitch ribbons. The stitch looks a lot like the stitching on a baseball to me so I thought it was really apt. The nuts are in his expression, I was going to add a few pecans to the cream and I still might but I couldn't quite decide where and how I wanted them.

So here are my three ice creams all together. I think they make quite a lovely threesome. My DD keeps giving them all kisses when she sees them which makes me smile no end. People have been asking what I'm planning to do with these guys once I'm done, but I'm going to be horrible and leave you all in suspense a little bit longer.

 Thank you for all the wonderful and supportive comments on my last entry. I hope you all like this weeks just as much.

Summer of Colour Week 2- Mint Choc Chip

Week two is here already and so is my next stitchy creation! I have used the same outline as last weeks (and I will for each week). But this time used a mix of minty green swirls and outlines, and chocolate brown french knots. I am completely in love with him.

I don't know why I felt he needed a shocked face but now I can see him and last weeks entry side by side, I think she may have said something rather rude.
 I'm looking forward to visiting everyone else's blogs again this week, I loved all the comments from week one, so a huge thank you to everyone who popped in to say hi. Can't wait to find out our next colour prompt.

Summer of Colour - Week One

 Hooray the Summer of Colour has officially started and I am thrilled to reveal my first entry/attempt. I love the ice cream theme and decided that it would be perfect for some embroidery. I been having a craving to embroider for sometime and just couldn't find the inspiration needed to do it.

 So here is my Rainbow Sherbet ice cream cone. I mixed a few skeins of various oranges, pinks and a few yellows to give the ice cream a more mixed feel. And used alternate colours on the cone to give it some texture and make it more waffley. I really enjoyed watching the character of my ice cream coming out as I stitched so decided in the end to add a beaming smile to this happy chappy.

 Thank you for looking at my entry, I will be popping round to everyone elses shortly as they list. I can't wait to see what everyone else has created for week one!
