I have completed the scallop seashells! The backstitch was very complicated, but it looks okay I think, although I half wish I'd picked a shade of brown instead of using black.


I've started the next piece, done some of the yellow on the border, but I spent half the afternoon trying to fix an audiocassette where one end of the tape had come adrift from the little reel inside. The little clip that was supposed to hold it in place had broken. So I dismantled the cassette, removed 5 screws, had bits falling out everywhere and the tape constantly trying to unravel, and managed to bodge a replacement clip, but I don't know yet if it will work. My clip might keep the reel from turning properly...
