About Me

I would love for you to join me (a retired senior)in my zany crafting adventures with quilting (waaaaay too much fabric); scrapbooking (will I ever catch up?); redwork; counted cross stitch; crossword puzzles; reading; and cooking.

JOURNAL OF STITCHERY, et al

 
Page One:
"Bouncing Bunny and Lace"
is almost finished...
I need to outline bunny to make
her stand out more, I think...
I wanted a subtle page, but
she really melts into the 
background too much...

Here is the intermediate photo 
when I had added 
those bits of florals at the bottom left
before I sewed them on...

*******************
Month Two's
prompt is:
"Neutrals + Flowers"

Here is my base
that I have invisibly
basted down so i
won't have to 
deal with
pins...
↡↡↡↡
I used bits and bobs from
my Crazy Quilt leftovers...

 I have also cut out some small circles to
make some suffolk puffs
that will become flower heads...

You can just see them on the top
right on my new wool mat
which, by the way, is just
perfect to sew upon...;)))

I have also searched through my
buttons to maybe add a few
of those somewhere...

It's all a bit of a muddle 
in my mind right now...
Seems that's how it goes...
This is all so new to me, I have trouble
figuring out what kind of 
final embroidery to add
and where to add it!

**********************
Yesterday Tom and I got boosted
and this morning I have quite a 
sore arm and a bit of a head-achey
feeling...but not too bad really.

***********************
I have used my "Kismet"
fabric for these:

These are the six hexagon flowers
I've made since last August...
Right now I have two more 
in the works--
this
is my slow project...

I usually
work on them while watching tv.
I have two more in the works
right now...
***********************
FYI for those of you who have
asked how I am doing:

I am coming along after my 2nd epidural,
2 1/2 weeks ago now;
and have been cleared to 
begin exercising and gentle
short walking...

[and allowed to get my 
booster
shot...]

It is a gorgeous sunny, if still chilly
day here (winds out of the NW
are always cold)

I hope you all have a wonderful 
EASTER or PASSOVER
HOLIDAY
