I love little projects that are portable.
This one went with me to a ballgame last week and was almost done before the 4th inning!
Tonight we are going to another game and I hope to be able to report that I am "half way there" tomorrow. There are a total of four little designs that go with this project. All of them fit into a necklace charm. Now I just need to decide which remaining season to stitch while I cheer the Giants farm team to victory!
Go Grizzlies!
Until Next Time,
Tracy
Although we "technically" have a week and a half left of school...I am feeling like Summer break. It doesn't help that we spent the afternoon at the pool (it's called PE in the grade book). And I started reading a new book...
I promise, it wasn't all fun and games today.
We did math, piano, and reading.
Along with a whole kaboodle of chores.
But Summer can't get here fast enough!
I've got a strong case of "summeritis"
(worse than both kiddos put together)
I have some new things happening with the needle & thread but not the camera. Sorry. Promise to try to take pictures of works in progress tomorrow...between playing marco polo and reviewing the identity property of addition.
Until Next Time,
Tracy
Messes...
And Progress...
And on top of all that I am so easily distracted
right now it's not even funny. I have at least 3 projects in the works, 3-4 more in the sketch stage, and I was thinking of making a fabric run for something new...
(because I am SURE my stash doesn't have "exactly" what I need...we've all been there before right?)
So, in short, life is proceeding normally around here. What about you?
Until Next Time,
Tracy
Oh yeah.
I like to rock a lot of polka dots.
I thought I was being so good preparing this little project for a magazine submission. And then I realized that I was already over a week late on the submission deadline.
Silly me.
Guess I will just have to turn it into a regular pattern. Maybe with a stitchery version too.
What you cannot see in this picture is the embroidery work that goes on top of the wool felt applique. And it will be handquilted when it's all said and done.
So, that's what I am doing. How 'bout you?
Until Next Time,
Tracy
This little beauty has been In my brain for a
very long time and finally in the works
for several weeks now...
Sketching, rendering, reworking, sizing, etc...
Yesterday I traced it onto fabric.
Last night I colored it in.
Today I stitched my first stitches.
Can't wait to show you the finished project!
Happy Saturday everyone!
Tracy
