I have felt so sad the last few days. It is so difficult to come to terms with the death of our Sovereign.
I have always felt a special bond as our birthdays were on the same day. My mother used to tell me that the guns being fired as a birthday salute in Hyde Park were for my birthday. I believed her for a while.
Whilst I have been sitting watching the TV coverage of the services and parades I decided to try some more stitching. It is more exercise for my hand and the sort of crafting you can do whilst watching the 'box'. I found a great new pattern on the Stitching Cards site and here is my interpretation. I added the dates as they were not part of the pattern.

I had to photograph this without the glass. I will put that back in and then keep this close by as a momento.
