PROGRESSING....

 

Early morning shot of my new Amaryllis--
are we ready yet to bloom? 
And what color will emerge????

Meanwhile....
very slow progress 
is evident on my 
rescued
amaryllis...
Definitely growing..
and gives new meaning
to "slowly".

**************************
I've begun my new puzzle...

Moving right along...
the lower section will be 
the most difficult. 

****************
And here is where my
Dark Days
Comfort Cloth 
stands...
I've added 3 rows of stitching around the 
center block--

[oh -- and I took out the next 4 rows as they
got increasingly uneven...
the coffee dyed fabric
seems to be difficult 
to needle through.
So last evening 
I re-rinsed all my
pieces...
and am letting them dry
overnight...]

As you can see, I only dyed small
pieces ....they look really
dark here, but as they dry they will
lighten up..
.a lot of the coffee-dye 
still leached out until 
the water ran clear...

Notice the Paczki, off to the
background, which we will
scarf up with our 2nd cups of
coffee this morning;)))
It's that time of year again...
Our favorite flavor is
"Bavarian Creme"
Y  U  M  !!!!!

I hope the rest of your week is
a good one...
hugs, Julierose
(a-bit-of-everything-euse)


Happy Lunar New Year
