Herringbone stitch

This was the first stitch that sharon B put up as part of her Take a stitch Tuesday. I didnt find it until after I had done the buttonhole stitch. I am still on my theme of a sampler done on felt and then put together later as a sample book. I had fun doing this although the colours dont show up as well as in my other one. Very stress free after yesterday to sit quietly and stitich. I liked the way you can use diffent things with this, so I went for beads and different weight and colour of threads. Getting a bit more ambitious! Some of the others that I have looked at do fantastic stuff. I would need many more hours in my day.
Heating up again today and I feel rather as if I have been run over by a bus after yesterday. Catching up on house work and watering and feeding ponies. My normal chaotic day.
