I'm early again. I'm not going out but everything here is topsy turvy. The decorating continues so there are hazards to white cloth. Paint, paste, dust....roll on tomorrow when I am told this will all be over. I managed some constructive titivating late evening yesterday when the intruder had cleaned up and left. He is back now...making more mess. I know...I moan...I'm sorry...it will be worth it. Back to yesterday evening. I pinned sections, I added prairie points, I embellished a new seam with web stitch and I started another pocket. How many pockets does one person need? Unlimited is the answer....I just love pockets and they make me feel good. That's reason enough for me.
The girls in school are keeping me happy too....they work so hard and produce such amazing work. They are so talented. Don't just take my word for it...go have a look.
I have been thinking about my next piece of work. Remember I was talking about spreading the cloth around the family? Well I have three brothers. This cloth is for one of them and his wife. They love minimalist, they live in Sweden, they have an ultra modern home....it's stunning. One of my other brothers is 'white phobic'. That's OK, I still love him to bits but what to make for him? I am thinking plaid, gingham, rustic colours, warm colours, minimum surface embroidery. What do you reckon? Minimal embroidery is the thing but I think I could still titivate with points etc...couldn't I?
