This week has gone by in a whirl. When I listed embroider, embellish, create I counted my weeks wrong meaning that Alchemy still has two weeks to run when eec begins. It's not a problem as such it just means more planning, more readiness and twice the number of videos to make. Importantly too I must make sure that nobody feels neglected, gets less than 100% of what they deserve. With that in mind my dining room come work room come computer room has been in disarray every day. The table always needs to be clear to eat in the evening so things have been taken off, moved about, photographed and videoed in a never ending cycle of activity.
The items in the second to last image will be mostly unfamiliar, far removed from white and lace and titvation. They are ''old'' work and have been discussed in a video for my Alchemy girls. I may also make a video for here about them next week sometime. The stories behind them are both familiar and in the case of the framed piece quite amusing. The thread? Well I have a lot of embroidery to do.....
Before I go I want to say thanks for all the input yesterday....I am leaning towards a hinged frame for that piece, a frame with a glass door. I also have a massive desire to make titivated lace curtains too (thanks Mo!)
p.s.....the silver foil, do you see that? It's cake......it's all gone now, sorry!
