AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, et al

 

After our morning walk on this

beautifully cool Summer morning,

I grabbed my coffee and took

out my Kathy Schmitz project:

"Gathered Blessings"--

and began to stitch the redwork with

the Bee Skeep block.

I am

trying to get my stitches back

in shape-- ;((((

it's been so long since

I've done embroidery that they are

a bit on the wonky side...

Since I finished hand quilting

my Moon Garden Stars I have

no other hand quilting project

on hand..

And so....

In the spirit of keeping myself

centered and calm, I decided

to do a bit of this calming

redwork....

***********************

Also...

I have done a bit of work on my

Boho Gypsy Caravan--

here is the back of the front cover

↓↓↓

A lovely hammock for lazing among the pillows

and gazing out at the stars....

And below:

Here is the first prompt:

"Where would you

most like to be"

↧↧↧↧

As always, at the beach at

sunset would be my choice...

definitely "La Dolce Vita" for me....

;))))

And I did a bit of work on the back

cover, too:

a lot of embellishments--

a sewn ribbon ruffle dotted

with flat-back pearls, leafy vines 

on the sides,

And....

↴↴↴↴

Sign postings for future journeys (L);

and my fellow traveler leading

his horse on the way ahead 

of our Caravan....

I thought the fabric, in the middle section,

looked a lot like a waterfall...

with rocks on the sides...

What fun ideas these images spark...

I am feeling my way on this

Caravan project....

adding more pages

and

waiting for more inspiration

to come to me...

I hope you are having a glorious 

Saturday

i will be sitting, 

Sloth-style 

on our deck lounge chair and

watching the puffy clouds sail by....

Hugs, Julierose
