CALENDAR OF LIFE (COL)--DAILY STITCHING, et al

 

Here are my first (and very tentative) 3 days for my
COL project [aka Intuitive Daily Stitching].

Day One-Aug 25th: just trying out needles and
perle 8 cotton threads; 

Day Two: Aug. 26th:Totally confused as to 
"just winging it" !!!!
{a total "mish-mash"!!}
but it is what it is and
I am leaving it...

and
Today, Aug 27th: Our house after the rainy days
we've been having...a little
vignette...
*****************************
As you can see, my stitches need to become
smaller, much smaller than my
quilting "big stitching"
YIKES!!!
😟😕😢

Well, tomorrow will be our
August Full Moon..
so that should be a fun one to stitch...
as I am marking each month's
full moon occurance...

And
I am finishing stitching over all the 
grid lines on this 1/4 yard piece.  

Since I am only used to embroidering 
OVER already laid down fabric--
as in my Roxy's Journals of
Stitchery fabric books--
I am finding these "blank spaces"
challenging --a bit intimidating,
if I say so myself ....
😥😦😧
.
Well, onward and 
hopefully
 upward we go...
