I can’t imagine how people can have a design planned down to the smallest detail before they begin. Even when I’m more organised than usual – William is a prime example – there are always details that either escape me, or that I hadn’t even considered at the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I should say, this isn’t a complaint. I don’t think I would find it remotely interesting to have planned everything out and have nothing to discover. These days, when I follow someone else’s design, it is to learn what they can teach me, so even though the design is planned, there is nothing sterile about the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n

However, the fact remains that I am, yet again, wondering what to choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I twisted together the fawn and the brown silk to stitch the stem of the dog rose, it was partly because I wasn’t happy with the colour and wanted to modify it slightly. When it was done, however, I felt that maybe I hadn’t, in fact, modified it enough. It seemed too close in tone to the background, so I worked the stem in the top right in just the light fawn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And all the time I was working it, I felt twitchy. It seemed too bright, too bald, too obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n

Now I have the top two corners done, and I have a decision to make – two colour stem, or single colour stem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn’t seem quite as glaring from a respectable distance. Note to self: for goodness sake, never decide anything from ten inches away, that’s not how anyone else is likely to see it, and if they do, you’ve already won them over anyway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is, of course, a middle ground. I could do the two colour stem on one diagonal and the fawn the another, echoing the angle of the castle walls and the trajectory of William’s career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, one decision has already been made – remember I wasn’t sure whether to fill in the crosses or not? I am now, and they will be filled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
