SUNDAY STITCHING, et al

 

Here are the 2nd and 3rd pages in my 
[#Roxy's Journal of stitchery Vol 9" on YT]
Fabric book... 
a Dark  and sad page..😪
.
"Mi Corazon Rota" = my heart is broken
in Spanish.

I am using the story from the novel:
"Love in the Time of Cholera"
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
for the month of February's pages.

I have just finished 
basting everything down 
and am beginning to 
whip stitch the bird 
representing love 
flying away beyond reach
in the night sky...
💔💔💔
*********************
Our weekly #Hillside Heart"  [YT]
prompts this time were:
"Dog and
Friendship."

Here is my interpretation using an 
old  family photo along with 
magazine images,
inks, and a circle stencil.
I used leftover fabric to make the
little tabs that came 
from scraps I used under my 
machine sewing needle...
hence all the stitching....
😄😇😍

This one was a lot of fun to make...
a "happy page" ;)))))

{it's funny that when I first get
the prompts I wonder how in the world I 
will be able to use both on one spread...}
This one is  a very simple 
spread on one page.

 The old family photo sits on top of
my prompt card and slips into the
bottom page pocket made from just
folding the edge of my own 
teabag stained paper over.

We are watching the Luge Event 
in the Olympics right now...
relaxing after a light lunch...

Tonight's dinner will be a 
a very simple one:
An omelet with
 peppers and onions,
two strips of crisp bacon each
and toast with jam...

***********************
Tomorrow noon my 
daughter and her SO 
are dropping by for lunch with us
after going to a local concert
tonight nearby...

I will be making my own 
minnestrone soup,
a green salad, and 
serving snowflake rolls
with cheesecake for dessert...
(yummmummmm)
My kind of meal..;))))

Hope you are enjoying this 
long weekend...
