Noah's Ark BOM

If you look on the left you'll notice that I have put Lynette's Noah's Ark Free Block of the Month picture on my sidebar. I've dilly-dallied enough with not committing myself to this (and you all thought I had, right?) and just making a block every so often and wondering if I was going to continue or not. Well, I've got 5 blocks made now which is almost half and I really felt I needed to give credit due to Lynette for her lovely pattern and the fun time I've been having. I'm not very good at embroidery and didn't really even want to go out and buy any floss, so I've been scrounging around in my cupboards and using what I can find. Found quite a lot!

Look at this mess! And I wonder how long it has been in my cupboard... Quite a few years back I had bought a couple of embroidery stitchery kits which didn't take much thinking to do but were appropriate for my walls. I tried to be very organized and separate the floss given into little homemade racks of cardboard. My kits got up on the walls and the cardboard racks that were filled with odds and ends of embroidery floss got stuffed under other things in the cupboards. Who would have thought I'd ever use these threads again!

My elephant block got done very quickly on Thursday while chatting with my patchwork friends. Wow! Not even the middle of the month and I've completed it! Way ahead of myself! Now to go and let Lynette know I've been enjoying her work!
