Hi!
Goodness me, these days are flying past and the Olympics seem to have continued without major incident, weather excluded. Love them or loathe them, I think the world needs this inkling of normality.
So my watching of diving, and swimming continues, as does catching a bit of rugby sevens - totally not my thing but at least it's less violent than usual rugby!
My accompanying start was another Harry Potter snow globe, this time depicting Godrich's Hollow, the village where Harry was born.
Godrich's Hollow Snow Globe by MIYAstitch (etsy)
Stitched on 16ct Grey Swirl over-dyed aida
Stitch count 66 wide by 92 high
Started - 27th July 2021
Stitching time to date - 2 hours
I started with the outside of the globe again but this time carried on and completed the stitching of the stand. It doesn't show up that well but will once the backstitching's been added.
Fun Olympic Fact
The women's Olympic Triathlon, consisting of a 1.5km swim, a 40km cycle ride and a 10km run, was won by a Bermudan, making it Bermuda's first ever gold medal and only their second ever medal in Olympic history (the other being a boxing bronze in 1976). Not bad considering they're a tiny nation and only sent two athletes this year. Go Bermuda!
Take care,

That was so exciting to see the Bermudan win the triathlon! And the woman from the Philippines winning the gold in weight lifting too. I always cheer for the underdog. Lovely start on this gorgeous fabric. Just right for a snow globe.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very pretty snow globe. I love the city scene.
ReplyDeleteTriathlons are impressive - I couldn't do any one of these distances, yet alone all three in a row!
ReplyDeleteYour new start is very pretty. I think it would be fun to focus on a couple of these snow globes come winter!
These snow globes are lovely, you seem to have got a lot done in the time.
