Yet another HD :)

-
Thanks to everyone for your comments on Earthdancer. She has waited so patiently for me to get her finished and I am so excited to see that finally happen its just beyond words :)


While this one hasn't been a HD in the making quite so long as Earthdancer I'm excited to see this one done just as well. This one will be framed with an hexagon mat in a square frame most likely. I have to make a trip to the frame shop and see which color mat will look best though as I will probably just use a simple frame as to not take away from the piece itself.


This is going to be one of my new starts once I gather all my fibers. It was in the Sampler & Antique Needlework Quarterly Winter 2005 issue. This is a case to hold sewing accessories. Thread as the picture shows will fit inside and then the sleeve on the top will hold a pair of scissors. I am thinking of using some of the thread in the picture but I have to pick up the fabric and see how everything will look together, I'm not so excited about the overdye, I think it needs to be a bit more subdued of shades but I do like either of the green ribbons for the accent. This is going to be a group project with one of the groups I meet with on Thursdays for sit and stitch. It will be interesting to see all the different colors that they each come up with for the design.

    Fine China came out wonderfully! Do you know how you plan to finish it off? I have often wondered how best to frame or otherwise finish off that cool shape.

So, totally hoping this was not the direction of this ride.  Can someone tell the operator I want off?  I went from working 3 days per week, to back to a normal shift with overtime. A few more weeks and they sent me home with all my hardware so my commute is down to 32 seconds.  Traffic still sucks, only now its dogs following me and complaining I am not sharing breakfast. This is what I have to put up with, I'm being judged for not sharing a banana.   We also have an afternoon dinner dance every day.  It starts around 2:30pm and dinner is served at 5pm.  Riley is perpetually starving and may die at any moment despite having plenty extra snacks stored on his fuzzy butt. Stitching has been moving along. I've got all the stitching in on Ambrosia honey and am now on to the beading and a few details. Beading is taking a while, I'm reworking how the beads are applied. The model piece photographed for Needlearts, the beads look jumbled and messy to me.  I like

Its been a year, again. I see really good in spring and then life gets away from me and its a free for all.  With the current pandemic around the world, I'm spending a lot more time at home as you might imagine.  It took a few weeks but I finally found my way back to my needle and thread. Ambrosia honey has been possibly the most enjoyable of the current projects in the pile so I started there.  The starting point and a nice glass of wine because, COVID-19 I started a new job in December and I don't have quite enough tenure to qualify for work from home so I'm at the end of the list, for safety I've been working 3 days per week so they can limit how many people are in the office at once.  The upside to this for me personally was extra time to stitch. This is really fun to work on, despite there being a lot of compensation where the different designs run into each other. I don't mind compensation and it had been interesting to see colors that looked ter

Only a day late and that is because I was fussing with yardage for starting another afghan yesterday and booing at the weather forecast that kept promising a lot of snow which I know will never materialize. If it snows, it really needs to be enough that I get a snow day or at least a work from home day.
