FABRIC JOURNAL(S) VOL 2a & 2b

 

Here is my soft cover for 
the "Roxy's Journal of Stitchery Vol 2(a)"--

This will be the Christmas part
of this 2-prompt per month  (!!!) journey...

[I love this Jason Yenter old print...
I knew I saved it for something]
;))))))

and
Here is the inside 
A lovely old Japanese print --
long in my stash...

Here is my base page for the 
inside front cover above

I hope to embroider my name
and the date on the lower 
plaid portion in gold...--
or perhaps white...
and to bead around my prancing 
reindeer....
and add some lacey bits, too...
That is my plan.
*******************
The 2nd part of this challenge
(given on the 3rd Wed. of each month)
is a "Winter Theme"
which I will do in a hard cover
and on a smaller scale--

I know I can't keep up 
with this  schedule.
πŸ‘½πŸ‘ΎπŸ‘Ή
So
I have split mine into
two parts for ease of
working; 
and if I don't like or
cannot figure out what
 to do for one, I can 
switch to the other...

Vol2a= (Christmas-- softcover)&
  Vol2b =Winter-- hardcover).

I need, over the weekend to 
prepare my base pages
and figure out the first
base for the Winter Volume 2b.

The prompts for the first page
will begin this coming
Wednesday, July 6th
and the 2nd on on July 20th.
**********************
Two per month seems like an 
awful lot to me.
I am a slow stitcher, 
so, I plan to work at my own
pace and to 
ENJOY 
this journey...

Tomorrow I get my haircut and 
for those of you who asked
Yes, Tom was able to install
a new faucet for us
YAY!!
