Almost ready!

I've taken the plunge - - - it's going to be Wichelt Lambswool linen, 35ct - over one (thank goodness for the daylight lamp and the magnifier) - and using silk threads.  Many thanks to Cathe Re at Needle in a Haystack who did a lovely thread palate conversion and recommended the Lambswool to me as a good match for the threads.   I also happened to have a large piece of the linen in my stash so it's all cut, hemstitched and pressed ready to go!  Can't think of a nicer way to start the New Year.
