RSC13 --- SAILING AWAY WITH THE BLUES

WIP :  Here is a little snapshot of the direction I am sailing in for my May project in blues.  I really haven't had a lot of time this week (working on that secret project for ...well, someone special..) and I am just beginning to set up this little wall hanging.  

Just pinned up there on the wall..my own private view of the ocean...this has been a fun project--I think I need a palm tree or a surfer dude in there somehow..and, I want to add some embellishments on this one..beads, shells.

I will be back later on this week for another dip into these waters...have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend all,

BEACH-EY DAY BLUES

My RSC13 May blues have turned out to be little beach huts....I have made 15 of them and plan to make....well, what I really don't know.  I have to figure out a setting for them as yet.  right now they are beckoning me from my design wall. The problem is that the Real Beach near our home is also calling me....it's so lovely here right now.  Outside is the place to be!

Here are two more:
I think this last one is one of my favorites. 

Today looks like a deck day for us...so I will most likely be working on more of these:

 Only four more rows to finish--yay!  Uh...that is actually 82 more hexies to be sewn--and I may have to cut some more...I am running our of purple pansies..
But, not to worry--I will search the stash and the scraps and eke out something....
Wishing you all a wonderful stitch-ey weekend...hugs, Julierose, La blageuse

THE SNAKEY BLUES

May has "snaked" its way onto my design wall...

Using bits and bobs                                                       little pieces sewn to make those wedges .................................................

Little fishies, alphabets, all old, old fabric.....

AND:

Speaking of "OLD"

Yesterday was a "double-dipping" day for me; not only Mother's Day but also my 70th (yikers--how did that happen????) birthday. Altho' MAY is our "blue" month and even though I am in my 70's now...(sigh), how can a person be blue when: 

My wonderful friend of many years and musical partner, Mary Ann, brought me this:

It's quite a "highbrow" plant--all my others are whispering among themselves:      She's called "Portulacaria Africanis Variegata". 

And here's a close up of her calling card...isn't that just so serene....I love it!

My little cherub decided to alight and keep her company

Thank you--Mary Ann--for such a perfect gift--you DO know what I like :--)).

I hope you are enjoying some glorious weather..hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse

BLUES IN MAY (RSC-13)

HERE are the first "made fabrics" for the RSC13 month of May --sapphire blues...








AND:

You can see that some are not really sapphire--but my blues (I found out) are limited..

And I thought this little flower print kind of looked like little sea flowers..
most of my blues are sea-themed...


Here is how the big pieces look:  I sewed the bits and bobs together--what fun!!  I need a break from "seriousness"--seriously (LOL) right now.  

Bigger pieces to be cut into -- I don't know yet what shape(s) (blogger all of a sudden made my print very small!!  Ack!)

Yours, on a pea soup foggy day

RSC13- HOW BLUE AM I?

Spring has come on tippy-toes here; one warm day, the next windy and cold!  
Our new color for May in RSC13 is Blue--but Bright blues.  

I find it difficult to distinguish the brights in my scraps; maybe because they are mostly pieces of novelty prints and have lotsa colors and blue predominant? 

AND, I want to sew up some "made" fabric I think as these scraps are small--no biggies!  

I am still sorting..you'd think I'd have a lot of blues..but not so...will post more on this as I begin to sew....

AND now here is my latest work on my cross (emphasis on cross!) stitchery:

 I was working along (minding my business--when whap, slam, alacazam!) I mis-counted>  My (free spirited) bird is one little thread too low!  How did i do this?????I counted, re-counted, got a cup of tea and sipped some, took a deep breath and counted yet again...and 

STILL DID IT WRONG---aaargh! 
I hear the distant peeps of many "frogs" chorusing up my street and coming for a visit!  Oh, no!  I have to UNDO it.  This is a lot of hours work....and so it goes mes amies...Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme...

I leave you with the vision of me undoing all those lil' stitches.  DH thinks I should leave it there--but I will always K N O W it's there..Hmmmpfh!
